Normally we don’t talk draft around here until the month before the event itself but I’m growing weary of debating players with fans who don’t watch any of the actual football games played by the prospects. On the call, our pal Scott Wright breaks down possibilities for the Bears at safety, corner, edge rusher, linebacker, right tackle and kick return/scat back. He absolutely adores Landon Collins of Alabama (and he should). Other than Collins, a few names I think make sense at various points in the draft:

• Duke Johnson, Miami as a dynamic playmaker
• Derron Smith, Fresno State as the second safety on the board
• T.J. Clemmings, Pittsburgh at offensive tackle

Hopefully you can use this podcast with Scott as something of a guide for watching the college games over the rest of this season.

Another fantastic conversation with Scott Wright, who did a fine job getting me excited for next week. Topics discussed:

• Justin Gilbert’s dynamic return skills ALONE might have made him a top 100 player.
• Our love affair with Aaron Donald’s tape.
• The drop-off at tight end after after Eric Ebron.
• Who the “reach” might be for Phil Emery in the first round. (Answer: safety Deone Bucannon)
• What non-QB might find himself falling down the board on draft night. (Answer: CJ Mosley)
• Scott’s Plan A, Plan B and Plan C for the first round selection of Phil Emery.

…and I need your questions. Scott is my favorite “draft guru” out there and he’s been gracious enough, for the second straight year, to grant me a half hour of his time during the busiest two-week period of his calendar. So submit questions you’d like me to ask him in the comments section below. I’ll take a half dozen of the best ones and ask them directly to Scott.

One note. To separate your questions from the general conversation below, type the word QUESTION (in the caps) at the start of the question. This way I can get through the comments quickly.

Thanks in advance.
