Scanning across some top 50 player lists and anywhere from 13 to 15 of the top 50 players in this draft are DBs. Depending on who's board you are using there's a few more just outside the top 50 as well including players like Melifonwu, Adoree Jackson (seen him as late 1st Rd pick too), or Quincy Wilson. The rankings among CBs are all over the place and have changed dramatically since 31 Dec. Jabril Peppers who was largely considered a top 5 pick now is listed in the late 1st and in some places early 2nd Rd (Jeremiah has him at 33rd overall). Bottom line is that we're in a very good spot picking early in the 3rd Rd if we still want a DB. http://www.nfl.com/new…

Do you guys have a good estimate on when our pick (#14) will be aired on TV? I've got to work late and I'm trying to guage when I can bail to watch the pick unfold...

It looks like the top 3 picks are locked up. Then it gets interesting from 4-13. Based on our current record and SoS, we would draft 8th with the worst position being 13th and best probably 4th. 1. OAK 0-9 2. JAX 1-9 3. TB 1-8 4. NYJ 2-8 (5) 5. TEN 2-7 (9) 6. ATL 3-6 (31) 7. WAS 3-6 (13) 8. CHI 3-6 (12) 9. STL 3-6 (3) 10. NYG 3-6 (2) 11. CAR 3-6-1 (8) 12. HOU 4-5 (22) 13. MIN 4-5 (21) Top Prospects: DT/DE - L. Williams, USC QB - Mariota, ORE; Winston, FSU RB - Gurley, GA WR - Cooper, ALA OT - Peat, STAN; Scherff, IA; Ogbuehi, TXAM DE/OLB - Gregory, NEB; Ray, MIZ, Floyd, GA LB - Thompson, WAS; Beasley, CLEM CB - Williams…

A few Bears draftees had some nice RAS scores, which is basically all the measurables. To put it in perspective, Urlacher scored a perfect 10.00 on RAS, man that dude was a beast. For the draft picks, there were several high players and others with high scores in certain areas. Gordon - 9.69 (15th highest Bears player since 1987) Brisker - 9.12 Jones - 7.11 B. Jones - 8.44 Robinson - 9.74 (11th highest Bears player since 1987) Thomas - 8.97 Ebner - 4.80 Kramer - 8.48 Carter - 6.30 Teven Jenkins is 13th. For UDFAs, Teague was 9.84 and Sanborn was 7.28. Teague's is one of the highest grades in the NFL since they started recording RA…

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/...for-matt-forte/ MRI confirms knee sprain for Matt Forte Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on December 5, 2011, 11:15 AM EST AP An MRI confirmed Monday that Bears running back Matt Forte isn’t out for the season. He will be out at least a few weeks, and it’s worth wondering where the Bears will stand in the playoff race when Forte is able to play again. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Forte has a grade 2 MCL sprain. There was no damage to his ACL. He could be out anywhere from 2-6 weeks according to ESPN’s Trey Wingo. Forte has to be breathing a sigh of relief. We wouldn’t blame him one bit if he didn…

I told everyone to "set their DVRs" to watch Michael and Martellus segment on NFL AM...well for those who missed it.... http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-am/0ap200000...lus-and-Michael Man it'd be bearsome (a word MartyB made up) just to see those guys together off the field.

There are some early signs the offense is starting to come together. Anthony Miller is going to surprise a lot of people this season. I can include myself in that group as I wasn't that high on him in the draft process although the 2nd Rd seemed to be the right value for him. He's going to line up against other team's second or third best CB and that looks more and more like a huge advantage for the Bears. It also appears that Trubisky is starting to feel more confident in this new WR group considering all the tight window throws he completed today. https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/bears/postcard-bears-training-camp-allen-robinson-anthony-miller-mitch-trubis…

Roquan Smith (concern about is mental state, potential to be great or wash out) James Daniels (serviceable NFL player) Anthony Miller (can't run correct routes) Joel Iyiegbuniwe (no impact) Bilal Nichols (injured, but good player) Kylie Fitts (no impact) Javon Wims (not allowed to play, but looks promising) Mitchell Trubisky (?) Adam Shaheen (injury prone, potential to be serviceable) Eddie Jackson (home run) Tarik Cohen (above average in 2017/2018) Jordan Morgan (no impact) Leonard Floyd (serviceable NFL player) Cody Whitehair (serviceable NFL player) Jonathan Bullard (washout) Nick Kwiatkoski (serviceable NFL backup) Deon Bush (special teams/backup) Dei…

I figure it will probably be an O-lineman, which we certainly need, but, as much as I don't think we necessarily need another WR, I'd be really intrigued if Carlton Mitchell was still there.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/category/rumor-mill/ Ex-girlfriend’s lawsuit against Brandon Marshall dismissed Posted by Michael David Smith on June 23, 2012, 12:30 PM EDT APA lawsuit that an ex-girlfriend brought against Bears receiver Brandon Marshall, accusing him of abusing her, has been dismissed. The Chicago Tribune reports that ex-girlfriend Rasheedah Watley, who filed the lawsuit in 2009 accusing Marshall of battery and false imprisonment in two separate incidents in June 2007 and March 2008, had her case dismissed in Georgia State Court on May 25. Marshall and Watley had an on-and-off relationship that began when they were in jun…

Really interested in how people see the Bears’ CBs shaking out. Obviously help is needed but what kind of help kind of depends on how you see the current roster: Jaylon Johnson - His contract is up next year. Is he a #1 despite his lack of takeaways? Do you extend him this off-season? Kyler Gordon - He has a rough start last season but got better and definitely flashed. Is he an outside CB or do you leave him in the slot? If he’s a slot guy who is your #2? Kindle Vildor - Do you trust him? Seems like one of those guys who has done well relative to where he was drafted but you can’t really count on. Worth keeping absent better options but I’d like to have be…

Okay, I won the consolation, which means 5th place "boobie" prize. Is that like being Mr. Irrelevant? Do I get a trip to Disney. Seriously, congrats to Bradjock for the 1st place win. Personally, i think you should feel dirty winning behind the arm of a Green Bay Packer QB, not to mention his favorite WR, but to each his own:) And how funny that you rode Cedric Benson to glory. Nice 3rd place finish Pix. Honestly, not sure who DevilDogs is, but good team and great profile pic I mentioned this on the FF site, but I just have to say, this was a solid league. I love the fact that no one, regardless of record, seemed to simply quit, which really ju…

http://sports.espn.go.com/fantasy/football...tory?id=4856465 First Team Quarterback Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers (Average Draft Position: 35.5): He may have been the fourth quarterback taken in most leagues, but he certainly proved to be the most valuable. The only blemish on his 2009 slate was a Week 14 "clunker" against the Chicago Bears when he totaled just seven fantasy points. Rodgers had 10 weeks with multiple passing touchdowns, helping him to finish head and shoulders ahead of his peers, finishing with 47 more fantasy points than the next-best signal-caller. Running Back Chris Johnson, Tennessee Titans (ADP: …

I saw some interesting stats on Football Outsiders in regards to our rushing defense. We are currently middle of the road for run defense, but have a few areas that really need some work. We are 25th in Run Stuffs, 25th off the Left Tackle (RDE), and 30th off the Right Tackle (LDE). I was really surprised to see how bad we have been off the Left DE as Houston and Young have been lining up there. That really needs to change, we are basically being gashed for over 5 1/2 yards on runs over the Right Tackle. The lack of stuffs makes sense due to the struggling LB's.

Please check Admin forum, I performed an admin action today and would like to discuss.

Starting a new thread just to keep track of post game analysis on the new players. This surprised me mostly because I don’t recall having a Bears QB who the coach said doesn’t need more snaps to improve before the season starts Do I need to see Caleb Williams in the preseason? No, I do not. I see him every single day in practice," Johnson said, noting that Williams will be ready for Week 1 based on what he's seen during practice this summer.
