Bearstalk

I know we posted some in other threads, but I thought it could use its own with how many we are going to do between now at April. Here is one I did with PFF's Mock Draft Simulator, just one trade down for a 3rd and a 5th. Still picked up Johnson (which is unlikely), but hey. Johnson is a no-brainer if there. Went for great value at #71 and got a great athlete to pair with Smith at LB. Moore becomes the defacto starting Slot WR. Domann is a hybrid LB-DB that can lineup almost anywhere on the defense. With so many sub packages, he would be perfect for big Nickel. Watson is the big WR we have needed, could play opposite of Mooney on the outside. Flott is 6'2" so h…

I will periodically list mock drafts of at least 3 rounds on this post. Draft Tek lists a draft as of 1/18 #1 Hagemen/DT/Minn #2 Bailey/SS/USC #3 Friedorowski/TE/Iowa #4 Martin/DE/NC #5 Ryenolds/CB/OreSU #6/a Ikard/OC/Oka #6/b Josh Huff/RB/Oregon I dont know much about any of them except for Hageman,BUT according to how the draft falls, this is who I would take in those spots #1 Hageman/DT #2 S Truitt/DE/ND #3 Desir/CB/Linedwood #4 Anthony Johnson/DT/LSU #5 Ward/SS/NIU #6 Ikard/OC/Okla #6 Logan Thomas/QB/VTU I kiinda went with the best player available theory which got me the 3 DLinemen.

you can tell it's a week old since they have us picking at 22. http://www.draftcountdown.com/sub/Mock-Draft-A.php Though, Duke Robinson is there, you have to take serious consideration in taking him. Or Taylor Mays would be damn sweet too. I'm not sure we need another raw WR to develop. I have little faith that the Bears can develop any WR. Interesting they have MAUALUGA at 11 and LAURINAITIS at 10. I wouldnt be upset with either of those considering appearent the decline of Url. Here's a crazy idea....sign Max Starks and plug him in at RT and draft Duke to play LG. Beeker and Buenning can battle for RG and loser is the future C when Olin …

With my recent talks of spending big on Bennett I figured I'd throw out an ideal mock offseason. STARTING CAP MONEY- 8.4M (per Brad Biggs) RELEASE (w/ Cap savings) Peppers (9.8M) Bush (1.8M) Bennett (2.4) Podlesh (1M) (Kept Weems just because he's a good ST player and only clears a mill) CAP MONEY AFTER CUTS- 23.4 EXTEND Marshall 3 years 7M/12M/15M (saves 2M) CAP MONEY AFTER EXTENSION- 25.4 SIGN (all numbers are cap hits) Michael Bennett- 4 years 8m/10m/12m/14m (DE Seahawks) Corey Wootton 1 year 1.5M Nate Collins 1 year 500k Jay Ratliff 2 years 2M/2.5M DJ Williams 1 year 1M Blake Costanzo 1 year 1M …

1-29: Derrick Sherrod - OT Miss State Can start right away Alt - Wilkerson DE Temple. Probably gone but i think best DL 2-62: Marvin Austin - DL Cant see the guy who hasnt played in a year going before this pick. If we go DL in 1st we get Ijana here 3-93: Greg Little - WR UNC The big guy and #1 we need. I personally love Hankerson but think hell be gone in 2nd Alt - Niles Paul - WR nebraska 4-127: Quan Sturdivant - LB UNc Great football player who "lacks" measurables I didnt want to ignore Cornerback; however i think our secondary is much better than advertised. Its the middle of our Dline that sucks. Wooten and Peppers are cornerstones an…

So while reading about Ray "dipshit" McDonalds departure from the team I started seeing commentary about the possibility of Jets DLman Mo Wilkerson being dangled as trade bait. So far the Jets have publicly said they intend to keep him but he's apparently in a contract year, holding out AND they just drafted Leonard Williams. Some of the concerns obviously are his demand for a big contract and that our team has other needs than just DL. But... Is Wilkerson impactful enough to make a difference to the new defense that Fangio is working to implement? And could Martellus Bennett being offered in a trade to the Jets sweeten the deal? http://m.bleacherreport.com/arti…

Hey Guys! First time back since we switched over to the new site. I like what you guys have done to keep this going! It seems to be a much more user-friendly site as well, so keep up the good work. I also haven't been back cause I've been down on this team for the past month (who hasn't?) and getting to see them get beaten twice in 5 days (i was at the Giants and Redskins games!) really sucked. That said, the big win over GB yesterday got me in the mood to post again, so I thought I'd spout off about "winning when it doesn't matter" vs. "sacrificing victory for a high draft pick". Let me just come right out and say it makes me sick when fans, sportswrite…

This is the most excitement I've had aince the Super Bowl. I believe our defense will play better, because we will have more time of posession and hopefully less turnovers.

Mongo diagnosed with ALS. Watched a tweet from Jared Payton. Almost did not recognize. Life can. be harsh.

Lovie's Termination Please read Mongos blog on cbssportlines page. It puts in perspective of what i've seen the whole time and why I haven't changed my mind after a pft stat. You might have to scroll back to the top on that link.

We've seen enough to know this team is a mid level stinker. The question remains as to what to do to right the ship. Here are some my thoughts. Organization: Starting at the top, Teddy needs to go. As stated in another post, I would shed tears of joy if Bill Polian would accept a 3 year post as team president. He would require total autonomy from the McCaskeys. GM: Emery stays another year, as he is evaluated by a president that knows what he is doing. Besides, he was left in a horrible cap, age and talent situation by JA and Lovie. Coaching: The axe has to fall on someone. It immediately needs to be Joey D. While his unit has improved over the co…

Running game showing signs of improvement By Bob LeGere | Daily Herald StaffContact writerPublished: 8/25/2008 12:03 AMSend To: The Bears' 109 rushing yards (on 22 carries) against the San Francisco 49ers wasn't spectacular, but it was a big improvement over the previous week's 51 yards on 20 carries. Most important, it stanched the pass rush that overwhelmed the Bears against Seattle. "I think it definitely helped," offensive coordinator Ron Turner said. "(Against the Seahawks) we came out and threw it a lot early. Even though we had a couple runs called, we audibled to a couple passes because of bad looks. But (against the 49ers) we came out and ran th…

Giants | Monk claimed off waivers Tue, 26 Aug 2008 14:36:25 -0700 Brad Biggs, of the Chicago Sun-Times, reports the New York Giants have claimed WR Marcus Monk (Bears) off waivers. Now can we get some Oline help please!!!!!!

I've noticed that at least one person has changed his handle/monniker. For those that do, please post your conversion equivalencies here: Example: I was Ghost of Bearstalk on the nflfans board and was previously and am now LT2_3.

I haven't seen anyone talk about this, but it seems the team is bringing back the monsters of the midway as a theme this year, making shirts and everything. There is an article in the Trib saying what a joke this is, asking how can a team that doesn't even practice tackling in camp have the audacity to bring out this theme. I'll go one further. This is not a moster defense, and I am saying even if it is hitting on all cyclinders. It isn't just that we don't practice tackling, but that we don't even want to make the big tackles. We try to wrap a guy from behind and punch the ball out, rather than hit him straight on and make him pay for thinking about gainin…

Im good with that. I am sure they have a contract already done. ^.5 sacks so far this year and only injury history was 2021.

Looks like a possible high ankle and MCL sprain. That would be 4-6 weeks, if any tears, it might be longer. Tough blow in a contract year, but on the flip side, Herbert looked really good.
