Bearstalk

Making that move which has been reported locally would cost the Bears 8 of their possible 11 million in cap space basically handicapping them to make other moves. A deal needs to be done to give the team more flexability.

His expected recovery is 4 months and should be able to take the field for May mini camps.With so many of the top prospects recovering from injury, I'm wondering if this drops him into the 2nd rd around the Bears pick. In Rd 2 I would take the plunge.

Lane Johnson 28 reps @ 303 DJ Fluker 21 @ 339 (awful, plus he dropped 15lbs) Erik Fisher 27 @ 308 John Cooper 35 @ 311 Larry Warford 28 @ 332 Luke Joekel 27 @ 306 still waiting on Kyle Long, Warmack, etc I gotta give Lane Johnson a shout. Zack Ertz 24reps at 255 Eifert 22 reps at 250 Fauria 17 reps at 259 Sims 22 reps at 262 Escobar

I've been an advocate for an all Alabama OL draft in the past, back when there was a very slight possibility of Warmack going later, but now that's impossible. The best we could do is Fluker in the 1st and Jones in the 2nd, which probably wouldn't make many happy because Fluker is being touted as a RT. Anyway, what if the Bears went heavy on Notre Dame talent? Suppose Te'o really craps the bed in his combine workout. What would you guys think about a situation where the Bears traded back and ended up getting: Tyler Eifert, Manti Te'o, and Braxston Cave I'm not sure how it would be completely possible, and the inattention to the OL would bug me, but i…

Don't flame me. I figured I might as well throw this out there just as a conversation piece for a while since these are slow news days. This Incarceratedbob dude is a bit of a wack job, but surprisingly has been right on many things NFL the last several years. He called the Mario Williams, and the Peyton Manning signings well before they happened. He also called the Brandon Marshall trade before many of the major networks got their information. Yes, he's been wrong several times as well. So at any rate, take this with a grain of salt. I found it interesting. We know that Phil is looking for WR help. Welker is up there in age, but you can't argue with his production.…

The boss said it and he has to "compete" for the job: http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/be...r-returner.html Along with this statement Emery also said losing Knox means we have a void in need of a speed WR. Pretty clear that isn't you Hester. Looks like trade bait for a late rd pick...where a team would be drafting a PR/KR anyway. A bad team with cap space that needs a big name to help sell tickets would fit the bill nicely.

Fit speed is Brandon Marshalls training facility...We all know Jeffery was going to be training with Marshall but I just wanted to point out that E-Rod and Armando Allen are also training there as well. (Didn't really know where to put this so why not a new thread?) It was noted that Marshall went from a 4.7 to a 4.4 40 in 8 weeks while training at Fit Speed. A boost in speed to all of those guys would be fantastic.

Pompei thinks Webb has the pole position at LT for next year. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...,2610849.column I agree.

After reading Brad Briggs, he lives Bears football he states our cap to be 10.9 We cut spaeth,Davis, Hester, Mannley and that gives us 8.2 mill to add to the pie. Adam suggested some of the bottom of the roster guys can give us another 2 mil. (since we replace those players with the ones we sign) Lets say we reconstruct a few contracts to give us another 2.7 mil. So our total comes to 21.8 mil. drop the 5 million for the rookie pool. We resign Melton-6 mil applies to 2013. We resign Roach- 2.5 mil applies to 2013 We resign Louis- 2.0 mil. for the 2013 season we resign DJ Moore - 1 mil for the season We sign UFAs Will Beatty/LT 4.5 mill for the …

I believe there may be a run on offensive linemen therefore we trade our first to whichever of Ari, Buff, or Jax who I believe will be trading up in the to get either Smith or Glennon. For this mock I will be using Jax as our trade partner. In regards to FE: Melton 4/26 Louis 2/4 Levitre 5/35 Url: no more than three a year. I'd give him 1/2. Roach: 2/5 Draft: 33. Terrance Williams--can be our receiver to blow the top off as well as a good redzone target. 52. Menelik Watson-- explosive and athletic. Can play both tackle positions and instin 66. Barrett Jones--His stock is falling for some reason. We all know what he brings. …

1. John Cooper OG 2. Jordan Pugh OT 4. Kiko Alonso ILB 5. Trevardo Williams OLB 6. Tavarras King WR Cant argue with much of it.. I replace Pugh with Barrett Jones or Kyle Long or Oday Aboushi... I think we need a legit LT in free agency. I wouldnt mess with any rookie Kiko, Id love it http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1512696...-the-super-bowl

Would you trade our 2013 first round pick for a 2014 first round and a 2013 third round pick? Lets say Kansas City drafts the OLT Joeckel with the first pick, and then wants to be sure they get QB Matt Barkley also. They give up the 2014 first round selection along with the 63 pick in RD3. It would hurt us this season, but next year we will be loaded to get a premier player or two, and we also get the top pick in RD3. 2014 prospects?? DE- Jadeveon Clowney SC OLT - Taylor Lewan Mich OLT - Jake Matthews Texas AM OLT - Cyrus Kouandjo AL OLT - David Yankey Stan It's definately a thought to consider, especially if we think the make or b…

RT @AlbertBreer: Same... RT @LanceZierlein: I haven't run into single evaluator or coach who has Alabama's Barrett Jones within first 2 rounds.

Today, Mike Mayock had a 150 minute conference call and said 4 players deserve to be the #1 overall pick: Warmack, Cooper, Johnson, and Joeckel (2 guards!). Thoughts? To me, this makes me really want the Bears to either take Cooper at 20 or trade down a few spots and select him. He can play G right now and has the versatility to be the C for the next 10 years.

I searched online for a bunch of mock drafts and here is what I found: mynfldraft.com 1. Jonathan Cooper, G, North Carolina 2. DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Clemson nfl.com (Jeremiah) 1.

Would anybody be totally against him? I can speak from first hand experience. Hawaiian people are not trash, and are extremely genuine. I think as far as football talent, he is on top. Maybe his combine wont be Ogletree's or Jenkins, but like I said... Lets say he leaves combine: 6'2 245lbs 4.65 40yrd 24 reps

Blanchard, Matt QB 6-3 225 23 R Wisconsin - Whitewater 74 Dennis, Derek OL 6-3 315 24 R Temple 88 Eldridge, Brody TE 6-5 265 25 3 Oklahoma 31 Frey, Isaiah CB 6-0 190 22 R Nevada 82 Golden, Brittan WR 6-0 185 24 R West Texas A&M 85 Miller, Gabe TE 6-3 257 25 2 Oregon State 83 Moss, Dale WR 6-3 213 24 R South Dakota St. 46 Nelson, Tom S 5-11 200 26 3 Illinois State 84 Onobun, Fendi TE 6-6 260 26 3 Houston 95 Ozougwu, Cheta DE 6-2 255 24 1 Rice 44 Quarles, Cyhl S 6-3 212 23 R Wake Forest 68 Riley, Chris G 6-5 305 25 1 Illinois State 81 Toliver, Terrence WR 6-5 204 24 1 LSU 59 Trahan, Patrick LB 6-2 236 26 1 Mississippi 94 Whitesi…

This Board is dead and it's killing me...I'm literally watching bowling right now. Lol. I'm gonna pull a Terra and post me up a good ol mock. Cut Hester, Davis, and Spaeth...I believe that (~7M) along with the 3 mill carried over and the 13 we already have gives us 23M to work with Resign- Melton- 8 Roach-3 Moore-2 Hayes-1 Okoye-2 Sign Andy Levitre 7 Draft Trading down in the first would be a fantastic thing, with the depth of the OL in the draft class I think we can venture into the low 1st high 2nd and still get a good piece. It's tough to really tell who might be interested in trading up so I'll just throw out a random team with 2 …

Since this is a slow time, draft sites, I respect are GBND,Countdown.com, and because of content Walters and Drafttex. A new one I found was NFL Mocks and interesting thing about that website is it projects where FAgents go. They have us resigning Campbell(which I dont see happening because of cost) I think the possibility exists due to OC ties we grab Chase Daniel/QB They have us signing Dutin Keller/TE (which I wont be objective to, is the better TEs become to expensive) They have us signing Gordon Cherilius/OT (which I dont see happening because he plays RT) my choices would be Beatty, Albert, Bushrod in that order) They havent released Defe…
