http://www.profootballtalk.com/category/rumor-mill/ COLT GETTING CUT Posted by Mike Florio on April 1, 2008, 2:54 p.m. Hawaii quarterback Colt Brennan, whose buzz as a potential NFL quarterback took a serious hit once his team was dismantled by Georgia in the Sugar Bowl, will see his draft stock dip for an entirely separate reason. Brennan needs surgery to repair a torn labral in his hip, according to Tony Pauline of SI.com. The surgery is scheduled for April 7, and he’ll miss eight-to-12 weeks as he recovers and rehabs. In other words, he’ll miss most if not all of the offseason workouts of the team that drafts him. In turn, he is expected to dr…

I'm hearing a lot of chatter about Albert moving up into the top 10 on draft boards. If this happens it should mean we're able to draft one of the top 3 LT. If Albert is still there for us at 14 it sounds more and more like that's a solid pick for us too.

Greetings! For a bit of entertainment pre-draft, now that all the combines are in, all the comp picks are in, and on and on...would people here have an interest in slapping together our own mock draft? The rules we've run previously are pretty simple. Everyone interested gets to sign up to be GM of a team...sometimes a couple teams if we can't pull off 30 some odd people willing to chime in. You can do whatever you want. Make trades with another person on the site for players or picks, let the clock expire and have your pick drop (I'd probably do something like a 24 hour deadline to get your pick in before the next person goes), etc. Basically, you go until …

trade a 3rd for Chad Johnson right NOW Jerry http://www.footballsfuture.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=217617

The NFL season will open Thursday, Sept. 4 with the Washington Redskins playing at the defending Super Bowl-champion New York Giants. The Sunday night game in week 1 will feature the Chicago Bears and Indianapolis Colts. The first Monday night game will pit the Minnesota Vikings at the Green Bay Packers. The Bron…

Read this article on Chicago Sun Times with regards article is there any likelihood of bears matching offer and would the 2nd round pick be this year or next The Bears have two RFA’s who have yet to sign their tenders. Safety Brandon McGowan will probably do so soon. He received the mid-level tender for $1.417 million that would require a team to send the Bears a second-round draft pick if it signed McGowan to an offer sheet and the Bears declined to match it.Quite simply, that’s not going to happen. McGowan figures to be in the mix for a starting job after improving at the end of last season. A lot at safety will depend on what happens with Mike Brown, who’s coming…

I have a mock draft that I think would be great for the Bears: 1) Chris Williams OT/Vanderbilt We have to get an OL in the first. If Clady and Williams are gone you trade down and take Otah/Cherilus 2) Earl Doucet WR/LSU or Mario Manningham WR/Michigan I think we go with either of these guys in the second. WR is a need for this team. Manningham showed how fast he really is at his pro day. He screwed up at the combine. 3a) Roy Scheuning G/Oregon State Again adding depth to the OL. 3b) Kevin Smith RB/Central Florida Don't ask me why, but I really like this guy. He almost broke Barry Sanders' single season rushing record, even though he played at a small s…

This video is near proof that the Bears need to draft OL in the first round, and maybe several others. When Cedric Benson is given a chance to build up steam, he's shown glimpses of dominating running. He's shown a little wiggle, a good deal of power, and an ability to see the whole/cutback lane. The Bears simply have to draft OL first, and all this Mendenhall talk is just plain crazy.

and Brian Baldinger says that Mendy is better than McFadden because when he scouted MCF he has poor vision, poor base, doesn't make people miss, and tries to out run everybody which wont work in the pros. Interesting info for all the Mendy lovers.

I was browsing through some videos on Youtube and came across this one. I came very close to spitting up my pop when saw it. Enjoy Funny Grossman Madden Video

I've been watching the videos of Mendenhall on Youtube. Things I like. Good body control and balance. Uses blockers well Has the ability to run it inside and push for yardage. Has good speed and agility in space anticipates well. Has a good attitude a team guy Has good hands as a receiver. He does run with the ball in one hand a lot. even up the middle, he needs to be more carefull about putting two hands on the ball in a crowd. NFL Defenders are more adept at stripping the ball than college defensive players. Some of the holes I saw in the videos you could drive a truck through. But on the clips where the holes were much smaller and he was r…

Next years draft is not a deep one for our current needs, except for maybe WR which may work out for us. The 2009 draft will be known for LB's. There are also a few SS listed top 25 and some CB's. Walters 2009 mock draft OL 1. Michael Oher OT Ole Mis top 5 2. Alex Mack C, Cal top 20 3. Duke Robinson G, Oklahoma top 25 4. Herman Johnson G, LSU top 25 5. Phil Loadholt OT, Oklahoma top 25 6. Andre Smith OT, Alabama top 25 RB 1. Chris Wells RB, Ohio St. top 10 2. Knowshon Moreno RB, Georgia top 15 3. C. J. Spiller RB, Clemson top 25 QB 1. Tim Tebow QB, Florida top 5 2. Matt Stafford QB, Georgia top 20 WR 1. Mike Crabtree…

i was watching pros vs joes today and did you guys know Bob Sapp (MMA fighter) was a 3rd round draft pick of the bears in 97, im kinda tired so i dont feel like looking up any stats but did he play at all for the bears, or any team for that matter, and was he as big as he is now a days???

Let Play JA Whats Your Draft Board Look Like. I'd say: Round 1: Jake Long OT Darren McFadden RB Matt Ryan QB Ryan Clady OT Chris Williams OT Rashard Mendenhall RB Jeff Otah OT

...that I don't think Mendenhall will fall to slot 14. Given that, I do hope we shoot for OL. There should be enough top tier guys for us to nab one at that point.

Bears | Team meets with C. Williams Thu, 27 Mar 2008 11:44:39 -0700 Brad Biggs, of the Chicago Sun-Times, reports the Chicago Bears met with University of Vanderbilt OT Chris Williams Tuesday, March 25.

http://www.cbs47.com/content/topstories/st...bd-e87f665c4b63 Heath was one of the best small school prospects in the draft and was one my favorites in the draft. I thought he would have been a real good fit for the Bears in the later part of round 3 as someone who can compete at RT/RG. Sadly, he has died. RIP and condolences to his family. Hopefully he died of some sort of natural cause, because you never want to see a guy ruin his name by dying from drugs and/or alcohol.

Below is my Mock with the SF pick. Included with my picks are Scouting reports from NFL Draft Countdown. 1-14 Branden Alberts OG Virginia Branden Albert info Between Otah and Alberts, Alberts can start out LG before trying the move outside. 2-44 Joe Flacco QB Deleware Joe Flacco info Flacco falls into Bears lap as Miami passes on QB, Atl moves up to get Brohm, and Balt. takes Ryan RD1. 3-71 Matt Forte RB Tulane Matt Forte infoThe move up of 5 spots helps ensure that the Bears get there choice at RB on day 2.
