Bears land 2007 No. 4 pick Adams from Bucs

Bears acquired DE Gaines Adams from the Buccaneers in exchange for what is believed to be a 2010 second-round draft pick.
While Bucs GM Mark Dominik mails in the season by dealing off his most gifted pass rusher and nearing insertion of an underclassman rookie QB, Bears GM Jerry Angelo is in the talent acquisition business. Trading first-day picks isn't advised, except when the return is a 26-year-old with dominating ability and a contract through 2012. Jim Bates, who's clearly lost his touch, couldn't get enough out of Adams in his first season as Bucs defensive coordinator. It's a good bet that Bears defensive line coach Rod Marinelli will.

I understand that. But you can't fill a team with a bunch of 6th and 7th rounders. Maybe a 5th here and there, a 4th. You usually don't see this with position skills.

Wow!

I actually agree.

That's why most of us are wanting the guys that have potential to be playmakers taken early, and why we argue with people who always want to spend those high draft picks on O-Lineman.
