2011 Bears Offseason thread

[Guest]

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

 

He's a good prospect and had a nice senior year. Not a bad value but I was hoping for a CB, WR or G though. I guess they're conceding Manning likely won't be back.

CBS Sports has him as the third ranked FS and #95 overall. SI grades him a 2.57, which is "Future Starter". Seems like about the right spot. He has good measurables.

 

Seems like a good pick. Too bad we have to wait until round 5 now. Only two picks left. Always want to see BPA from this point on, but wouldn't mind a LB and RB.

he looks pissed off

Who are some of the free agent WRs? It's pretty obvious that we're not addressing this position through the draft, although I'm still under the impression that the front office doesn't even see this position as a need.

Depends on the labor situation. If we are going by 2010 rules you basically got Braylon Edwards. If there's a new CBA in the near future, there's a pretty decent class. James Jones, Sidney Rice, Malcom Floyd, Steve Smith, Jacoby Jones.

Paea will wear #92.

Oh yeah I forgot Hunter got cut.

Okay, this trade controversy has gotten way overblown:

 

"I'm disappointed in the Bears and the McCaskeys. It is in my opinion a deviation from their great legacy," Bisciotti told Jamison Hensley of the Baltimore Sun. "They concluded that their heartfelt and admirable apology was sufficient for our loss. All of us at the Ravens strongly disagree."

 

Who died?

It sucks seeing a bunch of guys I like going here in the 4th round - OL, WR and now some speedy change-of-pace RBs. Oh well, worth it to get Paea.

[Butterscup1679666578]

I'm intrigued by Ricardo Lockette here in the 5th. Raw as hell, definite project (who isn't at this point though?), but could have tremendous upside.

Nathan Enderle, QB, Idaho.

 

Was hoping for Love or O'Dowd. Not like the Bears are lacking at WR, G, C and CB.

[minnesotacubsfan]

must be planning on OG and WR though FA

why

[WrigleyField 22]

Will Martz bitch for a veteran? I like taking a development QB, but its useless if you lose him like LeFevour last year.

They sure as hell better.

[JonJayCutler]

This very unlike Angelo. Usually he screws up the first couple rounds and nails the later rounds. Looks like the opposite this year. That said, any pick that assures Todd Collins won't be back has to be a good pick, right?

[SpongeWorthy]

Rashied Davis is going to make this team again

[Butterscup1679666578]

Not a huge fan of a QB in the fifth, but I like Enderle. Good size, just needs a bit of coaching.

Yeah, as a prospect he's a good value. But there are too many holes and nice prospects at those positions of need to be going QB now.

[minnesotacubsfan]

bad pick

[Butterscup1679666578]

Unfortunately Angelo loves taking QBs late, so I wasn't surprised.

When you have a clear cut #1 at QB, why not. Its not like you need to bring in competition for the spot. The only problem I have is that we should be developing LeFevour right now, except we had to endure Todd Freaking Collins.

[SpongeWorthy]

I'd rather have taken Tyrod Taylor if you were gonna take a developmental QB. At least he can play some receiver, wildcat, and run some other gadget stuff.

[cubbyvirus00]

I'm so happy Angelo did nothing to address our WR/G/C/LB positions. Oh wait, drafting another Steltz didn't help our CB quandry either.

 

 

 

This team is going to get smashed in 2012. Fire Angelo please.

[Guest]

Meh, a LB.
