2011 Bears Offseason thread

[UMFan83]

Okay so I just learned that the Team that Minnesota was trying to trade with when the missed their pick in 2003 because the other team didn't confirm with the league was....

 

 

 

 

Baltimore Ravens

 

LOL

And Tice was the pissed off Vikings official quoted in that article that mentioned Newsome was the one who screwed up.

 

Good job Jerry A.

 

That's awesome. I hope that's really something they planned. I doubt it but maybe just maybe.

[Magnetic Curses]

Bernstein just called him the Bear Jew.

 

love it.

[JonJayCutler]

Bears were prepared to give up their 4th rounder just to move up three spots and pick the guy they ended up getting anyway. Naturally, the Ravens are pissed and still want the 4th rounder.

[rawaction]

If they're available, I'd rate them as 1) Hankerson, 2) Nevis and 3) Austin as my choices. I'd take Ijalana over any of them but I think Angelo would rather give away the 2nd rounder to Baltimore than take back-to-back OL.

 

Agreed on all accounts.

[BCVM22]

Carimi to wear no. 72 as a Bear.

[bukie]

Also not opposed to Da'Quan Bowers if he still has knees. Even if he just has a 5-year productive NFL career, I'm good with that.

[WrigleyField 22]

Trade Up!

 

I'm guessing Paea

[WrigleyField 22]

Got rid of that 4th rounder, haha. Well worth it.

[rawaction]

Interesting. I like Paea, but I don't know that I would have traded up for him. I thought the Bears really loved Terrell McClain. Drake Nevis was also still on the board.

[UMFan83]

I love this pick. He will be a solid contributor as soon as this year, and this was a position of need with Tommie gone.

[Guest]

Totally forgot about Paea when I mentioned Nevis and Austin as my top choices for DTs. I love this pick...great value. Good talent, great motor.

[Mark Priors Calves]

I'm expecting the Bears to trade out of the 3rd to stockpile some 4s and 5s.

[JonJayCutler]

Probably a good idea to get rid of that 4th rounder before the Ravens steal it from them for nothing.

[Guest]

Is Hankerson gone?

[Wilson A2000]

Braylon Edwards, Vincent Jackson, Santonio Holmes, Steve Breaston, Santana Moss, Sidney Rice.

[rawaction]

Is Hankerson gone?

 

Nope, still on the board.

[rawaction]

I'm expecting the Bears to trade out of the 3rd to stockpile some 4s and 5s.

 

That's what I'm thinking also.

[Guest]

Is Hankerson gone?

 

Nope, still on the board.

 

Of course there's no chance he lasts till the Bears 3rd rounder so they might be better off trading down.

[Butterscup1679666578]

I'd love to see them make a move to get Hankerson. Those three picks would be so solid for this team.

[rawaction]

There goes Hankerson. CB may be the BPA.

[rawaction]

Quentin Carter is my darkhorse Bears pick. If they lose D Manning, he's a S but he also has pretty good man coverage skills for a FS.

[Butterscup1679666578]

gotta go best DB or OL available now that WRs are flying off the board

[rawaction]

This round has sucked. I had hopes for Hankerson, Mason Foster, Rackley, and Martez Wilson in this round. And I figured guys like Pettis, Vincent Brown, and Moffitt would be there next round.

[Guest]

Was hoping Moffitt would make it. Damn it.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Might be a reach, but he only played safety one year in college so he has room to grow. I like it.
