[expletive] YES!

I forget, what was the asking price? Briggs and 31 for 6 and that linebacker (forget his name). They wanted to keep that linebacker. Yea, looking back I'm glad that one didn't go through and we worked things out with Briggs.
-
I'd be alright with that.
-
First and third and Orton for Cutler? Sign me up!

Too Late. Pick Again.

I'm all for it, but I can also understand lessening interest because we're getting into lesser known players. I think we'll have enough interest for a fourth round, but if anybody wants to drop out, let me know and we can spread out the teams a bit. Well if any team drops out feel free to distribute them my way. I don't really have any preference, I'll take any team.
-
It's annoying to read threads with like 10 quotes within eachother. Could it be limited to like three or four somehow? -
I like the Baker pick. Nice pick. By the way, are people up for a fourth round? I know I would be. I'd even take on extra teams if there are guys who want to drop their current teams because they're not interested. This keeps me occupied at work.

I don't quite see the need for Pace with Shaffer around. Depends on the cost and Pace's willingness to take a RT job and possibly less pay. If we're looking more in FA, I'd much rather it be Holt, but whatever.

Can't wait to see what the Bears will do. I could see something like: Rd1- Harvin, other WR Rd- Gilbert or Rd1- Jerry Rd2- Best WR Obviously theres a lot more directions than that, but if they are looking at DT an WR, those are basically the two scenarios. Which would you guys prefer? If they went with a WR in round 1, trading down would seem like a big possibility, would I would definitely be interested in depending on the offer. If they wanted DT in round one I would think they would have to snatch up Jerry at their spot and not risk him falling.

The Baltimore Ravens select Darry Beckwith, LB, LSU http://www.tigerrag.com/wp-content/uploads/darry-beckwith_low.jpg

Yea it does seem early, but within a month of the draft, theres always a few guys who shoot up really quickly or fall really quickly. Maybe he is one of those guys.
-
He's not a huge name, but from what I can gather he has contacts and NFL teams actually pay him to devise different draft "strategies" such as "run on WRs" or "run on RBs". His actual name is Jeff Risdon. I googled his name and haven't found anything definitive to confirm, but RealGM is generally a pretty well run website, and I'd take anything they report with more than just a grain of salt. But obviously wouldn't take it as gospel either. A really big grain of salt maybe. I didn't follow his articles last draft, so I can't compare how accurate he was or anything, but I'd lean towards the idea that he has contacts. Even with contacts, he may be completely off, but its something. edit- here's something: I guess he has been featured in Sirius radio: http://www.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=807539 So he must have some credentials.

4/15 - Bulls (41-40) vs. Toronto (32-49) - 7 pm, CSN

Agreed. So that being said, I want the 8 seed and Cleveland. Reason being I want Rose to have to see what Lebron James does every night to take over games. Thats what Rose needs to learn. -
Asked another question to the draft guy at RealGM and got this response. In the next incarnation Maclin will be long gone by the time Chicago picks. In earlier versions I actually had Harvin, and I know one of the keys for them is that he can supplant Peterson as the 3rd down RB, which is a point of emphasis this offseason. Now that they signed Kevin Shaffer (GREAT move IMO), it sure looks like Harvin is a real possibility. But don't rule out a 3-technique DT to play next to Harris at that spot either--and both Peria Jerry and Jarron Gilbert are in play. Kenny Britt has their attention too, and they love his size at WR.
-
If that was the Bears direction, they couldn't really do better as far as draft picks.
-
I have concerns with Harvin being similar to Hester, thus the "WTF", but if the Bears feel like he is the best player there, you take him and worry about it later. It just depends who falls. I can't wait to see what happens though. I'm not so sure I could see CB, but I'd actually really like the Peria Jerry pick. It just depends on whos there though. Is Tory Holt still unsigned? If the Bears could just go pick up a stop gap WR like him, they really would have the flexibility to go BPA in the draft. We'd be in a position where we have long term needs at everywhere but TE and RB, but it wouldn't matter what long term needs we filled, we could just get the best player. As it stands now though, WR makes the most sense for the first rounder, second round at the latest. Trading down is also another big wilcard, not only because it changes who we'd be looking at with our first pick, but it would give us another early pick to play around with on something that might not be a pressing need, like LB or CB.
-
WR makes the most sense, but no one is really likely to make an immediate impact, so its really a pick for the future. Hester will enter as the #1. Oh and did anyone see what Kiper had to say about the Bears and WR. Seems to think Percy Harvin is their guy. WTF?
-
I think its was most likely the case already, but now I think its almost certain unless someone really good at T falls and there isn't a worthy WR. Even then I wouldn't be surprised with a trade down.
-
With this move and draft talk focusing on WR I think we're pretty firmly looking at WR in the first. Also, I think it may signal that after that, the Bears will go BPA. Unless the Bears cut someone (I wouldn't mind Garza depending on the cap hit) Angelo probably doesn't see OL as an immediate need. Who might they think is the BPA in the second round? Pat White. I feel more and more by the day that this is going to happen. Current Depth: QB- Orton-Hanie-Basanez (if you draft White, set w/ Hanie/Basanez battle) RB- Forte-Jones-Wolfe-Peterson (Set) FB- Davis (Set) WR- Rd1-Hester-Bennett-Davis-Rideau? TE- Olsen-Clark-Davis (Set) OT- Williams, Shaffer, Omilaye OG-Garza, Beekman, Buenning C- Kruetz (Line could carry 8, but they've gone with 7 before) DE- Brown, Ogunleye, Anderson, Idonije DT- Harris, Harrison, Dvoracek, Adams OLB- Briggs, Roach, Hillenmeyer, Williams, LaRocque MLB- Urlacher CB- Tillman, Vasher, Graham, McBride, Hamilton S- Payne, Stetlz, Manning, Bullocks, Bowman K- Gould P- Maynard LS- Mannelly Thats 50, with competition open at OL, DL, LB, DB, WR. What I see is an aging and declining defense that could get most of the attention rounds 3-7.
-
Still don't see true #1 potential. Maybe for a typical Bears offense he's good enough for a #1, but that actually means a average to good #2.
-
Woot for quick picks and no one on my draft board going the last two.
-
Hmmm, I would think a lot of our return success is built upon blocking, and not just Hester/Manning. That hurts. So whats our biggest strength now, blocked field goals?
-
I said it to someone when the Cutler to Chicago rumors first started to come out that I could see this becoming like Amare to the Bulls or Peavy to the Cubs. It's obviously no where near that level yet, but I won't be surprised if it gets there within the next month.
