I'm really disappointed.  I like what I've read of Chris Landry.  I listen
to him on the radio and I respect his opinion.  I haven't been complaining
about this draft because I didn't have any strong opinions.  But I think
this guy knows what he's talking about.

This is by far the worst indicator I've seen that the Bears may have missed
on this draft.  I'm suddenly much more concerned.

not it seems to me that he missed the opportunity of his life.
