11. Chicago Bears: Jake Locker, QB, Washington.

What's this ****er smoking?

[Mr. Arrowhead]

if we are picking the top 5 again, we better take a QB, no if, and, or buts.

[The Bad Guy]

Russ Lande? The same guy who said we'd take Thomas over Berry?

[Chiefnj2]

I want Andrew Luck and will use multiple picks to get him.

Holy god. I am agreeing with Chiefnj on something football related. My head is spinning.

[threebag]

[The Franchise]

I already have to hear about how we're going to take an OT?

And awesome....we passed on 3 QBs this time.

Two guards taken in the first round and only once tackle at the 32nd pick? Doubt it. I don't care if next years tackle class is weak sauce. Teams reach.

[KCrockaholic]

This is stupid. Mocks don't frickin matter especially if they are for 2011 when the draft order isn't even set. I'd rather just see a list of the top 100 or so prospects.

[Hootie]

I wonder when these guys are going to figure out that we CLEARLY already have our LT?

and we CLEARLY aren't going to value OT's highly in the draft...

Shortly after ChiefsPlanet finally figures out that Cassel is your QB.
