http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/category/rumor-mill/ So we lost Bowman to the Vikings, Graham to the Ravens...so what I see us doing is draftig a CB in the draft maybe in the third 2nd or 3rd RD. We are awful thin at good CB with only Jennings, Tillman, DJ Moore on the team and we have a 1st year unproven Donovan Warren,

Since we have lost two players from the roster at CB would from this list below would you might want on the team. I think we will draft one maybe two if we dont sign a cheap FA. Kelvin Hayden (ATL) Reggie Corner (BUF) Cletis Gordon (CAR) Kelly Jennings (CIN) Dmitri Patterson (CLE) Alan Ball (DAL) Frank Walker (DAL) Brandon McDonald (DET) Jonathan Wilhite (DEN) Jarrett Bush (GB) David Jones (JAC) Dwight Lowery (JAC) Travis Daniels (KC) Leigh Torrence (NO) Will Blackmon (NYG) Michael Coe (NYG) Justin Tryon (NYG) Donald Strickland (NYJ) Lito Sheppard (OAK) William Gay (PIT) Anthony Madison (PIT) Bryant McFadden (PIT) Marcus Tr…

We still need to look at numbers 28, 31 50,60, 4. Steelers wide receiver Mike Wallace (RFA). 7. Ravens cornerback Lardarius Webb (RFA). 22. Raiders running back Michael Bush. Signed with Bears. 28. Chargers offensive tackle Marcus McNeill. 31. Bills offensive tackle Demetrius Bell. 50. Seahawks linebacker David Hawthorne. 52. Redskins linebacker London Fletcher. 58. Patriots defensive end Andre Carter. 59. Jaguars defensive end Matt Roth. 60. Bengals linebacker Manny Lawson. 63. Saints defensive tackle Aubrayo Franklin. 64. Giants offensive tackle Kareem McKenzie. 66. Chargers defensive end Luis Castil…

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/categ...or-mill/page/2/ Packers next to host Demetrius Bell Former Bills tackle Demetrius Bell is the No. 2-rated unrestricted free agent left unsigned on the PFT Hot 100. He’s a 28-year-old, starting-caliber left tackle who’s been unlucky when it comes to avoiding the injury bug. But Packers G.M. Ted Thompson knows a potential bargain when he sees one, and Bell fits the bill. Per Joe Buscaglia of WGR 550 in Buffalo, Bell will be visiting Green Bay later this week. As a Packer, Bell could provide competition at left tackle if the team cuts the cord on longtime starter Chad Clifton. Clifton turns 36 this offseason, is …

http://network.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_..._trade/10408522 Rumor: Bears and Patriots are in talks about a Matt Forte trade Written by Brett Solesky | 26 March 2012 According to a report that has been accurate of late in the news and rumor and gossip reporting business the Bears are talking with teams to trade Matt Forte. The report comes from a twitter account that I was clued into via one of my followers. The report is simple the Bears are in talks with the New England Patriots about a trade involving Forte for a second round pick and a fourth round pick. The report insists that the trade talks have picked up in the last 48 hours witht he only s…

http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...story?track=rss Packers coach on Marshall joining Bears: 'They definitely got better' PALM BEACH, Fla. -- Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy has been watching the Chicago Bears’ offseason moves with interest, and was particularly intrigued to see the Bears acquire receiver Brandon Marshall. “Brandon is a problem for defenses matching up,” he said. “He’s a No. 1 receiver, he’s a hard guy to single up and play. They definitely got better. "Plus, he has the relationship with (Jay) Cutler. There is definitely value in that. It will complement their run game. They ran the ball very, very well at th…

http://www.walterfootball.com/draft2012.php 1. Kendall Wright, WR 2. Jerel Worthy, DT 3. Cam Johnson, DE 4. Ladarius Green, TE 5. Shaun Prater, CB Wow. That would suck ass. A short, overrated WR when superior OL talent is there, an inconsistent and somewhat lazy DT, a slow DE with physical problems and possible disease, a TE who is actually a slot WR or H-Back who lacks true TE blocking skills (which is also ignoring the fact that Davis was resigned), and a 5th round CB who is actually pretty good for the round and for Lovie's system.

Just fyi

Given that I know virtually nothing about the current crop of draft prospects...here's what I'd like to see happen, all else being equal. RD1-2 - D line and O line - either or, BPA RD 3 - WR - someone with serious potential. Big target. If the WR is in the 1st or 2nd, then OL/DL here RD 4- DB - We need depth RD 5 - LB - more depth RDs6 -7 - I really don't care...just BPA or whatever whim Emery has. I just think we need to bolster both lines...and grab a WR prospect. Everything else is depth, ST, or dumb luck we can find a diamond in the rough. I can't see Emery reaching... If we can get out with contributors on both lines and a WR that has po…

Devin Thomas, boy we struck gold. I guess he can play STs.

http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/be...nsive-line.html ...The OL is OK. As a result, I have my very first avatar... Seriously WTF? These assholes better be lying. I get the continuity thing with getting another year to gell. I get the Martz thing and the schemes he ran. What I don't get is false start after false start, then a hold, then a whiff out of JaMarcus Webb. Our staff seems to get a boner for someone every few years for someone that doesn't belong on the field. Hopefully, it's just a smokescreen and I'm crying like a little baby for nothing. Of course that's what I said in 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008 and 2007. (look it up)

I just want to say thanks to all of you posters here on this site...I love what you are saying and thinking about our beloved Bears. I just want to add this........are we making the best changes with what we are doing??? I think this team is now going in the right positive direction. Bush, Campbell, Marshall, Thomas, Weems for the offense to play with. Now I still see us drafting a OT/OG and WR this year to finish out this process. But the defense will get addressed during the draft....maybe we are going to draft a DE, CB and LB........we need to if not planned. I say the need for a WR in the first RD(like i wanted in the past) has taken a back burner to the need to upgra…

http://www.nfl.com/features/bracketology/a...meteams?round=5 Seriously?!

There's a guy out there that I have had my eye on as a possible dark horse candidate to be the next WR drafted by the Chicago Bears. Given the recent signing of Devin Thomas, it's looking like the Bears are going to go away from a WR, atleast in the early rounds of the draft. This may or may not be the case, this could be a clever ploy at a smoke screen, but for the purpose of this topic, lets just assume it's not. This is a player that I think might be worth drafting in the 4th round or so, and just happened to be arguably the most productive WR in college football over the past 5-10 years. I'm talking about a player who caught 131 passes and 15 touchdowns his JR year an…

I was trying to change the subject and poked the Knitting needle thru my hand. I was wondering if anyone had some advice on knitting.

http://www.chicagobears.com/news/NewsStory.asp?story_id=8713 If all our players come to work..to get it done this year....then there should be no reason why we are not back in the playoffs again this year.Looking at who we play this year.11-5 will be our record at least!!! Bear fact!! IMHO

I for one am not worried about the WR core this year, BM is obviously a number 1. I think Bennett, with his connection with Cutler going back through Vandy, is a SOLID #2 who I think can really develop into a #1b and IMO thats not even up for debate. I also think if hes utilized properly, like a Brandon Stokley, Hester will be a real good #3. I think people forget that not too long ago Hester put up 700+ yards in a season and if utilized correctly I dont see why he cant have another good year this year with more weapons around them or at least put up good #3 receiver numbers(500-600yds id say). I took a look at the 2008 Denver Broncos, the year Cutler went to the pro…

Sean Jensen ‏ @seankjensen The #Bears only have $3.5 million in salary cap space, according to a league source. Bulk of the remaining needed for rookie class. Jensen tweets we have 3.5 mil left. So looks like we are done in FA. Looking forward to draft.

http://www.drafttek.com/CMDRound1_17-32.asp 19 Chicago Jonathan Martin Stanford LOT Reach/Value: -5 Height: 6'6" Weight: 305 15 penalties...12 sacks allowed...7th rd pick - these are the vitals on LT J'Marcus Webb. Lovie and Emery have repeatedly defended Webb despite his continued folly, but the happy facade is starting to crack. Asked if the Bears would consider a change, Smith revealed the true feelings of the inner circle: "if there's someone who can improve us we're going to look at it seriously." Despite a subpar Pro Day, Martin is a player that would have to make the Bears reconsider their situation.
