1. Richardson had microfractute surgery and did not play as well in 2013 than in 2012, but its mostly the surgery that kept teams away. Plus he's still quite raw and could use a few years to tighten up his feet. And teams do a lot of resaerch and know a lot more than us, so while we are shocked to ser these guys drop, there's probably a valid reason, such as Lee and Tiny's surgeries. 2. UDFA is basically free agency. Teams offer what they can and the players choose what they think is the best opportunity. Idk if the Bears didnt have much interest in the players or other players chose other teams. 3. Honestly I think all the offers that a player will get will be offered bu the end of the 7th round. But I' with you I'm not sure why they don't wait longer. 1) But why is he still projected by NFL to go 2nd or 3rd? Everyone knows the medical issues, especially if they attend the Combine - they are medically examined and scrutinized. It is not a secret, nor what they did in 2013 compared to 2012. So I'm thinking the issue's gotta be what I said before "Are the people that put these [lists] together just clueless?" "We" are only shocked to see their stocks drop, cuz we all don't follow college closely, so not very familiar with each player. But the NFL should know better, or one would think. 2) Deep as the draft supposedly was, this would be surprising. Bears not a bad landing spot - at all. 3) Yeah, curious. Thanks!!

Then I guess it depends on how you grade the player. If were going by talent and ceiling then he gets a 2nd round grade. If were going by red flags and doubts if he can hold up in the NFL he gets a 5th or 6th round grade, for me personally. 2. Clearly the alot of the UDFAs thought differently lol 3. And NP
