This is in the event Nelson is either gone at 8 or Pace simply wants to start the draft with a defensive player.
1. Tremaine Edmunds, OLB/ILB/EDGE Virginia Tech
6'5, 253 lbs, runs a 4.54 40 - and still shy of B-Day #20? Whew!! This man-child probably has more upside than just about anyone in the draft. May not be a day one starter, but will be in for a lot of plays and will figure prominently when on the field. Fangio is likely drooling over this pick.
Alternative: Roquan Smith, ILB Georgia - Best ILB in the draft and the defensive player most likely to start for the Bears right out of the gate. A faster, more talented Danny Trevathan.
Alternative: Harold Landry, OLB/DE Boston College - Probably a bit too high for the #8 slot, so he may be a candidate if Pace drops back in a trade. Fierce and aggressive, his motor never stops.
Alternative: Marcus Davenport, OLB/DE UTSA - Also too high for #8, but this is one big, fast, strong player tailor made for a 3-4 defense.
2. Isaiah Wynn, OG/OT/C Georgia
Solid blocker at both the pass and run who most likely projects to G or C, altho he has played T as well. He gives us much versatility and would have a good shot at starting from day one.
Alternative: Will Hernandez, OG UTEP - Early on this human mack truck, who is as strong as an ox, was my original pick for this slot. But he has risen in the ranks to the point that he is almost undoubtedly a mid-late 1st round selection. So I expect him long gone by the time #39 rolls around - but you never know!
Alternative: James Daniels, C Iowa - Chose him if the Bears would rather play Whitehair out at G. Personally, I'm for Cody snapping the ball.
4. Breeland Speaks, DE Ole Miss
A DT who could easily transition over to the DE spot in the 3-4 set up. Strikes me as a Fangio type of DL.
Alternative: Josh Sweat, DE/EDGE Florida St. - Another good candidate for the 3-4 set up. Quite fast for a man of his size, very similar in size and combine numbers to Edmunds.
4. Deshon Elliott, S Texas
As you can see, I simply swapped Elliott and White from mock v.1, as I like either player at this spot in the draft.
Alternative: Kyzir White, S West Virginia
5. Alex Cappa, OT Humboldt St.
A DivII 1st Team All American, quite athletic, and I think it could be a steal.
6. Davontae Harris, CB/S Illinois St.
Showing a little in-state love here. He has good size and coverage skills, plus he's a hard hitter.
7. Antonio Callaway WR - Florida
Perhaps no player in the draft whose stock might sink lower than this guy's. Potential 1st/2nd rd talent with 7th Rd/FA issues. Explosive, would also make for a good STer. But this guy is trouble with a capital T.
