Re: The Chicago Bears Offseason Thread

Is there any chance at all of Clady falling to the Bears?

 

It depends on what other teams are focusing on in their draft needs. I don't see much of a chance of him slipping past Denver and Carolina, but stranger things have happened.

I think it depends on what the Pats and Chiefs do. KC has an obviously need at 5, but would probably have to reach for whatever OL they could reasonably take. The Pats at 7 just won 18 games last year they have the luxury of reaching. They could take Albert or they could go CB or LB. If both pass on OL, I think the Bears could get Clady. I'm convinced Carolina will go after a DE opposite of Peppers. They could also go after Kenny Phillips, with an outside shot at Brohm. Denver could go several ways. They could reach for a WR. They could use a LB, DT, or possibly Phillips.

Sean Alexander... Should the bears contact him?

Why?

[jersey cubs fan]

LAKE FOREST, Ill. – Five days after signing his tender offer with the Bears, wide receiver Rashied Davis on Wednesday inked a three-year contract that runs through the 2010 season.

That blows. Oh well, I'm sure it's not for a lot of money but I just don't think he's that good(pretty obvious since no other team wanted him). I actually wanted him gone.

Apparently Sheed's contract is worth around $6 million, with a $1.1 million signing bonus.

[cubweiser03]

I think davis is a decent slot reciever. The 2 TE sets probably hurt his playing time and chances for catches. But when the action is there who else do the Bears have to fill the slot? Somehow im under the impression that LLoyd struggled with Washignton because he was in the slot and actually placed behind Randle El, wasnt he lined up outside in San Fran and not in the slot too.

 

IF the Bears are going to draft a slot reciever this year i really like Dexter Jackson from App State in the later rounds. I watched the Michigan/App St game and while watching it that dude really stood out as a player. I was really impressed at how good the QB and Jackson were for a DIAA team.

Wow, too much.

My prediction:

 

Williams, Forte, and some other O-Line guy, in that order.

Who?

 

RB out of Tulane.

[Outshined_One]

My predictions for the first four picks....

 

OT Jeff Otah

QB Chad Henne

RB Chris Johnson

S Tom Zbikowski

 

Given how completely unexcited and annoyed that draft would make me, I'm almost willing to make those four picks my locks of the draft.

I'm hoping the roll the dice on Josh Johnson the third, or Eric Ainge in the 5th. IMO, both of those QBs will be better pros the Chad Henne. I hope the Bears land Felix Jones (imagine Jones and Hester on the KO and punt return teams, WOWZAs) as the RB. And as for OL....I could see them land any of the three, Clady/Williams/Otah, so it will doesn't matter much. But I do think Angelo is going to try to hit a homerun in the draft.

It's strangely similar to Wayne Krivsky's relief pitcher fetish...

Minny's post 1st day draft analysis:

 

NAME POS SCHOOL GRADE

 

Williams, OT, Vanderbilt A

Chris is what the Bears needed, a true left tackle. Albert would have been a good option, but the unknown of a player who has limited time in the position of most need wasnt enough. Williams, quite frankly, was the expected pick by Angelo & co. Clady would have been nice as well, but was drafted before the Bears pick. Williams will serve the Bears well, and instantly improves a horrid oline by moving Tait to his natural RT pos and likely replacing him with a more natural and gifted LT. Just about the only OT I would rather have would have been Long. I think Clady and Williams are very interchangeable. Dare I say, Big Cat Williams, part duex?

 

 

Forte', RB, Tulane B-

My initial reaction was WTF? I wanted one of the stud WR's who had dropped out of the 1st round BADLY. Sweed or Kelly would have looked BEAUTIFUL in the 2nd rd. But lets look at the make-up of the Bears roster. At RB they have: a #4 pick who is a bust, a late rounder who has never replaced the bust, and a change of pace back who will likely never start. At WR they have: a guy who has had multiple 1000 yrd seasons, a 2nd rd who in previous years was blocked by and over-priced vet and a guy who got an insane amount of money to go elsewhere, a complete project in Hester, and two VERY good TE's. All this adds up to say WR has some unknowns, but has far more potential to be good then RB. The only part of the pick I am not crazy about is that Forte is a guy who very well could have been there in the 3rd, giving the Bears an opportunity to explore other pos here, like G, QB, or even a DB. Forte was the safe meat and potatoes pick, and will likely give the O a big boost. He has good size and speed, but also has alot of miles. It will be interesting to see how good he will be behind a much improved O-line. Edit: also, the Bears could have looked at a guy like Kevin Smith in Rd 3

Exactly.

 

Bear fans should be secondary Titan fans. It only makes sense. :wink:
