I guess I have to be Negative about one Pick...FING TERRIBLE OMG WE SHOULD HAVE GONE WITH BLOUNT WHAT RETARDS CALLED IN that pick.

PS,Blount as our top priority as a UDFA !

[ArmyBengal]

Yeah, would have preferred Blount, but it's the 7th round and I'm f*cking tired and hungry.

[Kazkal]

6'2 315 lbs...can't find any info besides that.

[cincyhokie]

Good pick. Continues to add depth to a position of need. All Big-12 player. Started 40 of 41 games in his playing career.

[BengalPimp]

hello practice squad....if he's lucky.

[BlainThePain]

DraftCountdown has him as the 11th best guard, Walterfootball has him as the 13th ranked guard.

[TommyBigBoy]

Like it. Take a flyer on an OL. Can't go too wrong.

[cincyhokie]

hello practice squad....if he's lucky.

That's to be seen. 2 or 3 of the G/C on our roster were UDF's.

[derekshank]

Versatile player who was a 4 year starter and has experience at C and both LG and RG. Ok.

*yawn*

FWIW he drew a pretty decent amount of interest for a late round projection.

Iowa State's Reggie Stephens visited Bears

Most of the offensive line prospects the Bears have kicked the tires on leading up to the draft have been tackles, but they've gone in for a close look on Iowa State center/guard Reggie Stephens.

Stephens made a pre-draft visit to Halas Hall after his pro day in Ames, Iowa, that offensive line coach Mike Tice attended. An honorable mention All-Big 12 Conference selection last season, Stephens projects as a late-round draft pick.

He started 40 games in four seasons for the Cyclones and had a streak of 36 consecutive starts snapped in October when he missed a game because of an appendectomy. The Dallas Cowboys also put Stephens through a workout and he's drawn interest from Cincinnati, Houston and Miami.

The 6-3, 314-pounder participated in the East-West Shrine Game. He did 31 reps on the bench press at 225 pounds at his pro day. Stephens was not invited to the scouting combine (there were only five centers there) and by bringing him in for a visit the Bears were able to get medical information on him.
