The Bears offseason

[Butterscup]

i like that pick, but definitely want at least one offensive player with the two picks coming up (i'm all in on Dixon if he's there)

Why hasn't Billings been taken yet?

No idea.

 

Know nothing about this picky either. Hopefully he can play special teams because short of injuries that's the only way he'll contribute in the next 2 years. They obviously liked him a lot.

If he graded out well at tackle then why play him at guard?

 

You know who PFF hates? Charles Leno jr.

[Butterscup]

Kwiatkowski is really strong against the pass and the run. He can be a solid starter for a lot of years I think.

Not very long for the outside at the pro level.

 

Does PFF hate Leno? I thought he graded out how he looks, average.

Definitely behind Freeman, Trevathan, Jones and Acho on the depth chart. Would have liked to see something at RB or TE there. Adams was just sitting there and he's ranked as the #2 TE on the board. Even a DB might have made more sense.

i think we value high end interior line play more highly as long as we can be adequate on the edges. lots of shotgun and lots of quick throws nowadays.

Youre right, though his bad games were at the beginning of the season.

Yea I like Adams too (not sure he's the number 2 TE overall), but this is the point of the draft I'm also going to basically trust them on BPA as long as its not a kicker, punter, or longsnapper. Also three more opportunities in the next like 35 picks to go need based, if there is a need you really want to fill.

I thought that was Trestman's philosophy.

Kwiatkowski seems to be a good value pick since he was ranked #85 on PFF.

i'm a sucker for defensive line play so i really want more more more

 

i get wanting to pick up dudes at TE/CB/RB though

It's typical of zone blocking teams, which we aren't really, though we're not a power scheme totally either.

aren't we trying to go that way? i'll admit my knowledge of x's and o's is extremely rudimentary

If we pick a CB or RB they basically have to play ST or there isn't a roster spot for them. It's definitely a factor at this point, particularly for RB.

 

I still want a S too, but maybe they think Rolle will bounce back.

I mean our personnel all basically fit it, so I guess but I think we're still not true zone. Our OL coach has never been a zone guy.

d'oh...when i typed CB, i was thinking secondary, but yeah, it'd be nice if they could pull another amos out of their asses

I'd settle for a Conte, lol, but yea.

[WrigleyField 22]

Billings torture ends.

 

I still don't get what happened.

[Derwood]

So the Bears off season philosophy was ALL THE LINEBACKERS?

[WrigleyField 22]

Are they laughing because Beavers and Bush ? Lol

[Butterscup]
