With all the new information, I keep having a new thought everyday. For today:(tomorrow will probably be different) 1.....Hooker/FS potential game changer on defense 2.....Ryan Ramczyk/LT I think this should be a priority-drops because of a shoulder surgery 3.....Demarkus Walker/5T a high end player in a strong DL draft 4.....Brad Kaaya/QB has been suggested we are interested in him 4.....Brendan Langley/CB deep draft, big and active playmaker 5.....Eric Saubert /TE productive and fast 7.....Trent Taylor/WR productive slot WR This is based on getting in FAgency Jefferson/SS high end young guy Trumaine Johnson/CB upgrade and …

Between all the injuries (Goldman), suspensions (Freeman), he had little competition for this award but he is still well deserving of it. In fact even moreso because he was often the main threat for an offense to stop and he still produced. We need to use some of our cap space to sign him long term this offseason. http://www.chicagobears.com/news/article-1...9b-214afc006dd2

#75 - Jordan Howard https://www.profootballfocus.com/pro-top-10...016-nfl-season/ Hard to believe that Hicks didn't make it.

http://bearswire.usatoday.com/2017/02/10/c...-pierre-garcon/ He could be a really good pick up for the Bears. He could be the Mushin Muhammad (vet WR) to a rookie QB, to help them learn and be reliable, especially if the Bears have came to terms with the fact they will move Jeffery this year.

I wanted to take a unit approach look to evaluating our offseason needs. I think it is pretty evident where we need help, but wanted to verify it with some comparisons (by unit). So I looked at PFF Rankings (and will follow with a few more) to see how we looked compared to NE and ATL. Here are the latest rankings I could find by unit: NE QB - 1st, OLine - 10th, Receiving Corps - 6th, RB Units - 18th Front-7 - 18th, Secondary - 3rd ATL QB - 2nd, OLine - 6th, Receiving Corps - 1st, RB Units - 8th Front-7 - 24th, Secondary - 6th CHI QB - 26th, OLine - 15th, Receiving Corps - 28th, RB Units - 17th Front-7 - 23rd, Secondary - 30th This is…

#Bears are signing K Connor Barth back on a 1-year contract. He's getting $155K guaranteed. https://twitter.com/BradBiggs/status/840263479110053889 Scratch Kicker off the list for the draft, unless maybe a UDFA.

Here is who we picked up in free agency so far: QB - 1. Mike Glennon, signed a three year, $45 million contract. Glennon received $18.5 million fully guaranteed, including a $3 million signing bonus. CAP HIT: $14 mil OT - 2. Tom Compton, signed a one-year, $1.85 million contract with $850,000 guaranteed. CAP HIT: $1.85 mil WR - 3. Markus Wheaton, signed a two-year, $11 million contract with $5 million guaranteed. CAP HIT: $5.25 mil 4. Kendall Wright, signed a one year, $2 million contract.(updated - this is a great deal) CAP HIT: $1,845,750 TE - 5. Dion Sims, signed a three year, $18 million contract, with $10 million guarantee…

Per Jeff Dickerson and rumored to have resigned CJ Wilson per his agent

I seen where Ray RH has grown to 285 and had his number changed. Sounds like he is a 5T now

3. Jamal Dams SS LSU 36. Cam Robinson OT Ala 67. Tyus Bowser OLB Hou 111. Nathan Peterman QB Pitt 117 Jordon Leggett TE Clemson 147. Julien Davenport OT Bucknell 221. Bug Howard WR North Carolina This is mock 10 for me and after seeing that Bowser and Leggett are rising on the site I use and Howard dropping as a late round pick number 11 is on the way.

I liked this article and thought I'd post it. Interesting background on scouting and all those little things we will never know. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300000080...eal-draft-intel

Evidently John Lynch went back to Stanford to finish his degree after his career ended and he had a class that had a class project that 2 students are assigned to work on and his classmate on the project was Thomas. So that is Kap's spin on who he thinks is going at 2.

I really doesn't matter what the draft experts say until we line up and snap the ball. We have just drafted players that fill a need and at the same time create nightmare mismatches fot the defense. Third down back in Cohen that they call the "HUMAN JOYSTICK" good luck catching him.Two TE'S that can both catch and run over people! A QB that can actually see over his linemen......lol. Now we have two guys that can run at the WR spot in Wheaton and Wright...some height in the red zone with White (if healthy)and Meredith. Not to entire our ground game. Last year there were games where we should have won if not for injuries.....at home against the PACKERS ...L 30-27....Lion…

The 13 undrafted free agents who will participate in the minicamp are Northern Illinois running back Joel Bouagnon, Old Dominion defensive lineman Rashaad Coward, Minnesota linebacker Hendrick Ekpe, Wyoming receiver Tanner Gentry, Ball State tight end Franko House, San Jose State linebacker Isaiah Irving, Florida International offensive lineman Dieugot Joseph, James Madison offensive lineman Mitch Kirsch, Utah kicker Andy Phillips, Coastal Carolina linebacker Alex Scearce, Oklahoma State receiver Jhajuan Seales, Florida State fullback Freddie Stevenson and Florida State receiver Levonte Whitfield. Gentry,Stevenson, Seales and Whitfieldare my favorites to make the team.

I'm 46 , so I grew up with Soundgarden from 1989 until today. They were my favorite band. It's a sad day for rock. I listened to many a Soundgarden song after watching Bears games...either to feel the joy or the anguish.

The Tribune has a good article on Jordan Howard and his offseason work. Most notable was the eye surgery and he now has 20/20 vision. I'll be curious to see if this helps his pass catching. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...0613-story.html
