Bearstalk

So I was perusing a recent article in SI (and I believe Bleacher Report - OH THE HORROR!!) and saw a nugget about this kid out of Vanderbilt. Yes, that Vanderbilt. Anyhow "they" went on to say that he is a late round prospect (something like #18th rated in upcoming QB's). So the question to be asked, could he be a project QB that the Bears should/could entertain in later rounds...like 6 or 7? (Remember, Tom Brady was a 6th rounder). Anyhow, he is enticing not only because he is from Cutler's alma mater but also Aaron Rodgers little brother. And like the BR's article I read suggested, wouldn't that make for an interesting story line? http://www.greenbaypressgaz…

I saw this tweet by Melton and wondered if it could mean he was asked to line up outside at DE... Pretty random tweet unless he was asked about it, and this wasn't in response to any ones question. Couple this with the fact that Tucker apparently likes bigger run stuffers in the middle and it could make sense. Could they add a massive DT to their list of draft needs?? Jesse Williams in the first would be a dream, Kwame Geathers in the 4th would be more realistic. How sexy would a Peppers-Paea-Williams-Melton front 4 look??? With Melton playing the Izzy role where he occasionally moves inside to give Wootton and SMC some snaps.

Spent some time on the Cowboys active roster picking up an INT. http://www.houseofsparky.com/2009/2/10/755...-roundup-lequan EDIT- I meant to get rid of the ...WR, I saw he played 9 games in college at WR but I really doubt he gets moved to WR.

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.

Schefter reports William Beatty has signed a 5 year deal to stay in NYG. There goes one of the better LT free agents.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...0,7373064.story I noted earlier in the off season that he is working out with Marshall, Jeffery, and Rodriguez so they're keeping the clique together so to speak lol. Gonna make 480k

Before things get going tomorrow, what do you think the Bears will actually do in FA (not what you want them to do or what you would do)? Here's my guess: DISCLAIMER: I am not a capologist, so I have no idea how realistic this is. Sorry. Chase Daniel, QB - New OCs tend to bring someone in who knows the system, and it's not like anyone was impressed with Jason Campbell last season. Plus, considering Cutler seems to be hurt at least once every year, Daniel might see this as a chance to get in some games, which he hasn't been able to do much in NO. Sammie Stroughter, WR - I expect the Bears will add some low risk/high reward WR with the loss of Knox and Hest…

Eh...better than Webb

We made a significant offer to Phil Loadholt to play RT for us. He resigned with Minnesota. If he signs with the Bears, J Webb is our starting LT pending the draft. I have no idea if we sign Scott or where Carimi plays. After he Loadholt passed, we signed Bushrod to play LT. Now we have have Carimi/Webb and a possible Scott battling for the RT position. It also makes the prospect of us drafting a tackle unlikely IMO. Who is the RT?

Toe, Spaeth, and last but least, Kellen Davis... Per Biggs

Not sure if hes any good as he shoulda been

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?

Trade #20 to Falcons for #30, a 3rd, 4th, and 7th this year and a 4th next year. 1) Arthur Brown, LB, Kansas State - Can challenge Anderson and Williams for a starting spot this year. 2) Barrett Jones, OL, Alabama - Just what the Bears need - someone who can step in and start at whatever their weakest position on the OL is. 3) Stedman Bailey, WR, West Virginia - Immediate slot contributor and his production last year suggests he could be much more. 4a) Leon McFadden, CB, San Diego St. - Good fit at the nickel and hopefully can learn from Tillman and Jennings. 4b) Bennie Logan, DT, LSU - Good all-around tackle to go with Melton and Paea. 5) Zac Dysert, QB, M…

1. Jamar Taylor, CB, Baylor 2. Alec Ogletree, LB, UGA 4. Brian Schwenke, OG, Cal. 5. Ryan Otten, TE, San Jose St. 6. Kenjon Barner, RB, Oregon I'm not sure how I feel about this draft. Don't like the start of it, but Ogletree in the 2nd would be a steal. Virtually everyone here like Schwenke in the 4th, but then Otten ruins the momentum in the 5th. Finishing with Barner would be very nice, since the Bears could use a breakaway threat at RB (6th round pick on a guy who could end up being the best RB in the draft).

There are rumors that teams this year want to move down in the draft teams specifically mentioned are the Eagles (fourth), Lions (fifth), Browns (sixth), Bills (eighth) and Dolphins (12th) ,Cowboys(eighteen)as having made calls trying to trade down. Also the Jets and Vikings have two picks in first round...and maybe the Falcons and 49ers wanting to move up. So what kind of trades up or down do you see coming?

Anyone going to be in the chat room on here during the draft?

Honey badger!!!!

Was just on NFL Network segment, totally nuts. They are by far and away the worst draft so far.. "The top 3 picks, they were all there on our Board in the 20s" HA!

GB Datone Jones, LB Eddie Lacy, RB 109 (4th) 122 (4th) 146 (5th) 159 (5th) 167 (5th) 173 (6th) 193 (6th) 216 (7th) 232 (7th) MIN Sharrif Floyd, DT Xavier Rhodes, CB Cordarrelle Patterson, WR 120 (4th) 155 (5th) 189 (6th) 213 (7th) 214 (7th) DET Ezekiel Ansah, DE Darius Slay, CB Larry Warford, G 132 (4th) 137 (5th) 171 (6th) 211 (7th) 245 (7th) CHI Kyle Long, OG Jon Bostic, LB 117 (4th) 153 (5th) 188 (6th) Hard to say we are not in last and all the other teams improved more than us at this point. All their picks filled a need and will contribute immediately. After a couple of trades, GB …

He seems to have taken it upon himself to be a real team leader. He is working out with the receivers on the team and was the first to introduce himself to Long and spend time with him. I'm really impressed with him taking huge steps to put himself out there for the organizations. He's really proved me wrong an any questions i had about his character.
