Bleacher report posted a mock draft on April 3rd, and it is my favorite I have seen so far. 1 Copper/OG nobody will complain if that happens 2 Amerson/CB 6'1" 205 and had 5 interceptions and 12 PBU in 2012. 4 Stills/WR 6'1" 194-4.38 speed-82-959-11tds in 2012. I can get aboard on this pick 5 Klein/MLB not a as big a name as others, but highly productive player in 2012 6 Grissom/DT DT depth at the end of the draft Conclusion: our 1st 4 draft picks would make a contribution in the first year and Copper would be a stud. One o…

Just taking the temperature of the board - I sense a lot of resistence to Manti Te'o, but I wonder if he's become underrated at this point. So I'm wondering, what is the earliest you would be OK with having the Bears draft Te'o? Assume for the purposes of the question that either Ogletree or Brown are gone by #20 (but not both). 1) #20 overall 2) Trade down, but pick still in the 1st round 3) Trade down, but pick in the early 2nd round 4) #50 5) Don't want him

Is Arthur Brown the only one so far that has been reported to have a pre draft visit? I cant remember seeing any other names posted. Anybody have anybody else?

and why?

Chicago Bears Week 1: at Carolina Panthers Week 2: San Diego Chargers (ESPN) 8/15 Week 3: at Oakland Raiders Week 4: Cleveland Browns

Since some people think we are smarter than most GMs lets put that to practice. First question. With the Urlacher controversy, WOULD WE SIGN URLACHER FOR THE 3.5 MILLION HE WOULD HAVE SIGNED FOR? My vote would be a matter of valve, the Bears offer him 2 mil to come back. He turned it down. I think that was a fair valve for what he would bring to the table in 2013. I dont think he would make the full season without missing games, therefore If he signed for the 2 mil, I would still draft his replacement in the first couple of rounds. Since he wanted a 2 year contract at 11 mil and would have accepted 3.5 but still wanted two years, I would say not take h…

If i was going to pick someone with the 1st pick at # 20 to help us win this year my first three for the first would be..... Tavon Austin Jonathan Cooper Alec Ogletree

I've seen some rumors that the Bears are interested in Arthur Brown. I watched a couple highlight videos, including all of this one and I'm not that impressed. I see him as a 2nd Rd selection because a) he's not that big he gets lost a lot on the field giving up some big plays. He can play with some leverage for his size but I'd say he's a replacement for Briggs and will never be a MLB in the NFL. Ogletree has some of the same issues but he's bigger and stronger and I see him making making more impact plays. Despite the character flaws I prefer Ogletree in Rd 1.

will be on tomorrow (Wednesday 4.3.13) at 1800 Eastern Time

RT @seankjensen: #Bears are expected to release DT Matt Toeaina, per a league source

Whoever the Bears choose to run football operations, might have difficulty drafting in terms of taking players that fit a certain scheme. With Martz gone, I think offense will be easier. As for defense, if your the GM would you take guys specifically that fit the cover-2 or would you grab a player that would fit a more traditional style defense? Luckily our biggest needs are on the offensive side of the ball and thats were I would go heavy early. But if we fail to make the playoffs again next year, Lovie might just get shown the door and then we are stuck with players that might not excel in standard 3-4. Seems like we are back to square one when JA had to draft for J…

So the Browns signed J. Campbell and will soon depart with Colt McCoy. Do you see him as a backup for the Bears? If not then who would be the best fit?

I like this signing the leftside iis done.....keep in mind we have also signed Manrei the OT turned TE to also help chip block to help both sides if needed.....cant wait

...couldn't resist. April fools...

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter 3m Rams re-signed G Chris Williams to a one-year deal worth up to $2.75 million.

He still has us going with Eifert, despite the Bennett signing. He characterizes Bennett as being inconstant and thinks Trestman wants another weapon on the offensive end.

The latest Watlers mock draft, has us taking #1 Arthur Brown/LB #2 Larry Warford/OG #4 Josh Boyce/WR That is a mock I can get behind.Love it.
