Usually there's one team who gets crazy and will mortgage off future picks to hop up. Garrett or Barnett would be great at our pick. There's just no pressure on the outside and without that, the secondary gets left out to dry from time to time. 

Also...Mitch Trubisky as a number one overall pick is absolutely terrifying. Who would've seen that coming a few months ago? I'm glad we don't have to draft a QB right now, because it seems like such a crap shoot. You just never really know about these guys.

All that said, talent is talent for right now, and with our record we could use all that we can get. Hopefully these last few weeks will be used to get looks at who will be around next year.

Ah I got ya.

I completely agree. If you have no pass rush then your secondary will get torn apart. I saw numerous times even this past week where they would double team Atkins and Dunlap. We have no other pass rushers besides that.

I always liked Tribusky in all honesty, but certainly not as a #1 overall pick. I didn't even view him as a 1st rounder. Still view him as an early 2nd rounder.
