The guy that succesfully projects the comp. picks for the draft has posted his projections for this year. He's having us getting a 4th for Berrian (maybe a third) and 2 7th rounders for Gilmore and Ayanbadejo. Detailed explanations if you click the link. http://www.footballsfuture.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=307910

If we trade down I think we only have two possible partners. The Giants have 29-----------45----------60. They need a WR, OLB, and another RB add to the mix. Would they want a WR that would be there at 18 enough to give back 29 and 60 for? The Patriots have 23----------34--------47 They need to add a couple of young LBs to help Mayo. Vrabel gone and Bruschi will turn 36. Would they give us 23 and 60 if Cushing or Maualuga drops to us would they pull the trigger?

Gosh, I feel like I just posted this a week ago, and here I am posting it again? I must need to quit drinking or something. That being said, with the exception of a gimpy Orlando Pace, Barnes was the only real upgrade to St. Clair. So lets hope we ink St. Clair soon. Here's the story from PFT. They make some unflattering remarks about Barnes that I was not aware of. I guess it explains why he was still available March 14th: RAIDERS REEL IN BARNES Posted by Mike Florio on March 14, 2009, 6:58 p.m. Earlier today, our friends at RaiderBeat.com reported that talks between the Raiders and tackle Khalif Barnes were back on, and that a deal could soon be do…

By Brad Biggson March 16, 2009 12:21 AM | Permalink | Comments (14) | TrackBacks (0) With John St. Clair visiting the Cleveland Browns today it forces us to pose the question, what's next? If St. Clair signs with the Browns or another team, the already changing Bears' offensive line has another major question to answer--who plays right tackle? General manager Jerry Angelo could draft a tackle in the first round with the 18th pick and plan on plugging him in there from Day 1. He tried that last season and that didn't work so well with Chris Williams, although by all accounts he will be ready to go as the starting left tackle when minicamp opens Tuesday. T…

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3996780 Vikings sign Holt, PaymahComment Email Print Share Associated Press EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- The Minnesota Vikings have signed free-agent wide receiver and kick returner Glenn Holt and unrestricted free-agent cornerback Karl Paymah. NFL.com Video Bengals WR Glenn Holt catches a 10-yd TD filling in for Chad Johnson. Holt is a four-year veteran who led the Cincinnati Bengals in kickoff return yards in each of his three seasons with the team, averaging 24.3 yards per return.

So i wanted to see Packer's fans reaction to this so I searched "Packers Messageboard" in google and came up with http://www.packerchatters.com/4ums/index.php?showtopic=14050 Here are some of my favorites so far

Career stats: O (Kyle Orton) v C (Jay Cutler) Years/games as starter: O = 3/33 , C = 3/37 (culter 4 more games, about the same) Completions/attempt %: O = 55%, C= 63% (8% better from Cutler) Total yds: O = 5,319, C = 9,024 (3,705 more yads for Cutler...about 41% more than Kyle) TD's/Int's : O = 30/27 (1.1/1), C = 54/37 (1.5/1) Rushing yds : O = 92, C = 423 Fumbles lost: O = 10, C = 8

I know it has been quoted that Holt has said he does not have interest in the Bears and therefore it seems highly unlikely we would land him but who ever thought we would sign Cutler?

Since our #49 pick is essentially our #1 pick, I'm curious to see who the mocksters have us taken. I found one updated mock but it still has us taking Duke Robinson. Not that I would mind seeing us take the Duke, but we've already added 3 good offensive lineman. We have far more pressing needs at WR, safety & DE.

Lions | W. Franklin claimed off waivers Comment (0) Tue, 14 Apr 2009 20:24:41 -0700 Mike Sando, of ESPN.com, reports the Detroit Lions have claimed WR Will Franklin (Chiefs) off waivers

http://www.profootballtalk.com/2009/04/15/...tive-test-list/ What idiots. No matter how you feel on weed or drugs, that is just plain retarded to test positive when you know you are going to be tested. I hope that number is wrong, but damn... seriously, how stupid can you be?

2. Brian Robiskie, WR, Ohio State ---Robiskie falls, and all this Wallace and Massaquoi talk is a huge smokescreen. 3. Darcel McBath, FS, Texas Tech ---FS who is of solid value here. 4. Henry Melton, DE, Texas ---Pure 4-3 DE's are hard to find in this draft. Melton's physical attributes fit that bill pretty well. 5. Mark Parson, CB, Ohio ---CB depth and of good value. 5. Aaron Kelly, WR, Clemson ---WR depth- big redzone target at 6'5 205. 6. Willie VanDeSteeg, DE, Minnesota ---DE depth. 7. Lydon Murtha, OT, Nebraska ---OT depth. 7. Conredge Collins, FB, Pittsburgh ---McKie is brutal. Period. Thoughts?

Very intersting. Angelo did say it isn't like the Cutler talks, specifically mentioning that it isn't just the compensation, but the money which is an issue. Pay close attention to this one though, imo.

It's a little lonely with just Ashkum & me right now.

The best players available as listed by PFW. DE- Johnson/GeoTech/39th FS- Johnson/Ala/47th OT- Meredith/SC/49th WR- Williams/PS/51th OG- Robinson/OKL/56th Along as with this higher rated players there is still WRs Ingelsias-Barden-Collie-Thomas-Murphy-Ogletree-Wallace DEs left Sidbury-Brandon Williams-Melton-Kyle Moore FSs left Burton-Cleamons-Hamlin-Chip Vaughn OGs left Robinson-Urbrik-TJ Lang OTs left Parrish-Fulton-Cadagon There are several names left that some of you wanted us to take with the 49th pick, so I think we did good with the trade.

Texans cut Louis Nix today. He was in Bill O'Brien's doghouse. I wonder if Bears would take a look. Would seem to fit your prototypical NT mold, albeit he obviously hasn't lived up to his ND hype. He was a projected 1st / 2nd round pick when he fell to the 3rd round because of some concerns over his weight and work-ethic. Perhaps getting cut and coming back to the midwest would help? I would have to think we'd be potentially interested. Never played a game last year due to surgery on his knee during the preseason.

I assume he'll end up on the practice squad. Who will take his spot on the 53?

This is total speculation on my part, and i just read this while looking at fantasy football on yahoo. I'm not sure what other TE's are on the trading block or in FA, that would warrant restructuring Bree's contract. Is it possible they are close to a trade for Bennett? We know Pace's Ties to the Saints.
