I like this re-signing even if we lose a comp pick now (for Callahan). This fills a void at OLB3 and allows the team to focus te draft in other need areas. A crazy fact, Lynch is younger than Floyd and Mack. If Lynch can stay healthy, he is very productive when he plays.

After months of intense studying of prospects and (sometimes intense) beer drinking I am ready to proclaim who I think we'll draft today. 1st Rd) CB Vernon Hargreaves III. We've stayed away from any signs we like him. I see signs of a 2nd DE/Edge rusher taken ahead of us and possibly someone like Conklin. If that happens someone has to fall and right now it appears to be Hargreaves. He's not my first choice because I don't see him as a shutdown CB but he is elite in his quickness and can cover anyone for the first 20 yards. He'll start at NB while he learns the NFL. 2nd Rd) DE Chris Jones. He's been rated as far back as the 3rd round and later …

Using only the mock drafts that were updated in the last month from the Walter Football Mock Draft Database (94 mocks), here is the summary of picks: 1. J. Allen, 37.2% (seems like most realistic pick) 2. M. Trubisky, 20.2% (which QB will we pick if all 3 are available?) 3. D. Kizer, 19.2% 4. D. Watson, 10.6% 5. J. Adams 6.4% (only logical Safety pick at #3 now) 6. M. Hooker, 3.2% (with recent surgeries, probably no longer in play) 7. M. Garrett, 1.1% (doubt he gets to us) 8. S. Thomas, 1.1% (no value at #3) 9. C. Davis, 1.1% (I highly doubt we go WR at #3) 1. QB, 50% 2. DL, 39.4% 3. DB, 9.6% 4. WR, 1.0% 92.6% of mocks have Garrett goi…

http://news.yahoo.com/unc-reviewing-possib...05249--spt.html What's this all about?

It was just reported that the Bears practiced on Wednesday and Thursday in the US, then flew Friday. Meanwhile, the Bucs flew earlier in the week. As someone who has flown across the globe numerous times, I can tell you jet lag is a real issue. It takes more than a day to overcome the time differences in some instances. Some times it doesn't. I've flown from the US to New Zealand and recovered immediately. However, I've flown to Europe on more than one occasion that took multiple days to recover. In my opinion, it was a bad decision by Lovie and ownership to fly late in the week. If they come out slow and lethargic, it will not surprise me.

I was looking at TDs today and why Forte didn't have them. That's the major downside he's got when compared to other RBs with similar contracts. The results were surprising. First, remember he only played 10 full games, and the 1st qtr of the 11th game. On plays that originate outside the 10yd line, Forte was stopped inside the 10yd line, but before the goal-line on: -5 running plays -3 passing plays On plays that originate inside the 10yd line, Forte was stopped short of the goal-line on: -9 running plays (6 of the 9 plays were for zero or negative yards) -3 passing plays That's a lot of bad luck, and a lot of bad OL play. If either improve…

Manish Mehta ‏@MMehtaNYDN 28m Jets have interest in trading up from No. 18. Teams to keep an eye on: Titans at No. 11 and Bears at No. 14. #nyj Equal value would be a 3rd and a 6th to drop down 4 spots. Depending on who is there, I'd love to make this happen.

I think they are still confused because his offense made their defense look good. https://www.sportsmockery.com/chicago-bears/lions-fans-are-now-talking-themselves-into-hiring-matt-nagy/

doesnt look like its working....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just think it's way too much for me to absorb in one day. It's ridiculous to think that the Bears could feasibly have one franchise QB for the next 8-10 years. Cutler AND Pace?! Wow. Crazy.

Cleveland took Robiskie and Massaquoi, so does that mean that Edwards could be had with a 3th this year and a 3rd next year maybe?

Alright everyone, let predict who goes... I say all the coaching staff and emery. Emery has to go... He obviously missed on his first rd pick on his first draft. He completely over-paid for citlers contract when he could have used the franchise tag ( which has been brought up numerous times). He brought in some complete busts on the defensive side of the ball the last two yrs. He tends to get cute with his draft picks and acts as if he is out smarting everyone when really he's only out smarting himself. Most of all the fact that arians and mccoy are doing decent this yr and they were the two he passed up. Not to mention the ridiculously stupid things he put the coa…

Sounds like a winner. LINK
