After posting in Jason's "Best Mock I can do thread" about CBs I figured I'd just summarize what I see of the top CBs after watching film on Draftbreakdown. I'm copying what I wrote about Hargreaves in that thread. Among the top 4 CBs in this draft I could live with any of them. I'm just not confident grabbing one at #11. We could drop back to #20 and grab whoever is left and be just as well off IMO. That's kind of the way this draft is after the top 10 picks. Hargreaves... It's not necessarily size sometimes it attitude. Some guys just love getting into your grill and making you work hard. Others can do it but prefer to be off a bit and use their athle…

https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2016/...-the-nfl-draft/ The Bears had 2 of the 5 picks with their only 2 picks: 1. Jonathan Bullard, DE, Chicago Bears The Bears plucked good players all night and Bullard is a player we saw as a borderline first-round talent. He led the nation with a +51.5 grade against the run, using great instincts to feel and defeat blocks. He did most of his work on the inside at Florida, but he’s not a classic defensive tackle and he’s versatile enough to play up and down the line of scrimmage. Bullard’s best role is likely on the outside on early downs where he can match up with tight ends and offensive tackles while trying to get t…

http://www.chicagobears.com/news/chalk-tal...cc-2f344c226106 The Bears assigned numbers to their rookies on Thursday and first-round pick Leonard Floyd was given No. 94. Here are the numbers the other draft picks were given: Guard Cody Whitehair (65), defensive end Jonathan Bullard (69), linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski (44), safety Deon Bush (26), cornerback Deiondre' Hall (32d), running back Jordan Howard (24o), safety DeAndre Houston-Carson (36) and receiver Daniel Braverman (83). From what I understand, Floyd’s No. 94 is pretty much set in stone. But the other rookies could change their numbers after the 53-man roster is set the week leading into the regular-season ope…

Anybody know what number Hoyer is wearing

A little more insight on our rookie ILB. These guys do a good job breaking down Kwiatkoski's skills defending the run. I still like this draft pick and agree with the decision to move up to take him. He's got at least one year to sit behind Trev and Freeman and learn, more likely two or three. If he gets on the field sooner I think he's already better at diagnosing plays between the tackles than any of the ILBs who took the field for us last year. The outside the tackle stuff like pass coverage will take longer. http://bearswire.usatoday.com/2016/06/02/b...opping-the-run/

https://www.instagram.com/p/BI5An3rjj1a/ jayglazerLast day at #bears camp, spent last 3 training @kylelong75 in between practices anddddd my life freakin' blows!!! This cat is the strongest human being who's ever put his hands on me. I long for the days when I simply got my ass kicked by pussycats like @chuckliddell and @xcnatch. But pretty solid of a young player to want to reload his hand violence and wrestling leverage midway through camp ON HIS OFF TIME!. Oh, did I mention my life blows. #glazedandconfused #mmaathletics #mma #nfl #neutralface #BeUnbreakable #nfltrainingcamp

If this doesn't show you how much this guy is for himself, then nothing will. So the team basically said we don't want you doing that during the season, and he took offense to that because it would hurt his brand. Ridiculous. “When I sat down with Ryan Pace and coach John Fox, we met, and I asked, ‘What do you guys think about this?’ It was a big topic. And Ryan Pace said, ‘Well, we can do that in the offseason.’ So I was like, ‘Well, what about half the season?’ ‘No.’ ‘What about once or twice?’ ‘No.’ ‘What about bye week?’ ‘No, you can do that in the offseason.’” Marshall said that he wanted to continue to do the show not just to set up a potential career as a…

Do we kick the tires? Seems like a low risk signing, and he is still fairly young.

Khari Lee was released to make room for Logan Paulsen. I think that's an upgrade and it is expected we'll put Lee on the practice squad so he'll still be around if needed, Braunecker too. http://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/bears-t...-logan-paulsen/

Gang, I have 4 tickets available for the Bears game against Detroit Oct. 2 (section 349, row 13). Tickets are $94 (face value). Send me a message if your interested. Peace

Not sure how this guy is better than Robbie Gould? I would assume we will see a new kicker next year unless he turns it around soon. Peace

Despite the 0-3 start I've held that I like the young players we have. Injuries have forced some into action sooner than expected with some negative plays as a result. Instead of the flashes of goodness we've seen in the first few weeks this week it was about consistent execution. That's a big step forward for them and getting this first victory will be huge for their confidence. Offense: Kevin White: I've seen comments about waiting to see a breakout game. Not that I disagree with that, but much more than seeing the explosive big plays, which I think are in his future, I wanted to see consistent execution from him. Be where he is supposed to be on time …
