PFW had him at 197. For the types of hits he was dishing out, I think he will need to put on another 10 to 15 pounds. Peace

Holy crap is that funny!!!!!! Peace

I agree 100% with this. We took LT right where we needed to. I also see the drafting of Forte signaling the eventual end of Benson in Chicago. Unless he gets his head out of his ass, he is done in the NFL. Peace

Looks great but checking him in the PFW draft book it looks like he needs to put on some weight. Would not mind it if we grabbed him in a lower round. Peace

I would love to see Schuening but will pass on the other 2. I don't think Dixon would fit our system and Manningham is an idiot (scored a 6 on the wonderlic). Give me Early Doucet instead. Peace

You're assuming someone would have traded with us so we could move back up into the first. I completely disagree with taking a QB in the 2nd. Our 2 greatest needs were O-line and runningback. We addressed both today. Haugh said the Bears had been targeting Forte and were extremely happy to get him. I am not sure what guides you are reading, but I always get the ProFootball Weekly draft guide. Here is there summary on him: A big, strong hard charging, one cut runner with the vision, instincts, and toughness to be effective running inside. Has shown he could carry an offense and has the ability to develop into a workhorse. Peace

Because he violated his probation and his actions are an embarassment to the NFL. Peace

Great job running the draft Balta. Peace

I still hope the NFL does something with this (at least fine him). He's a drill rod and needs to be put in his place. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/cs-08...1,1524922.story Peace

I have also heard rumblings from other people on the SCORE (Mulligan I believe) that Benson may not be healthy enough to play next fall. I agree that if they draft Rasheed they are signaling the end of the Benson era. Peace

If I was the owner of the Bengals I would call up Rosenputz and tell him to go play hide and fxck yourself. His client can sit out if he doesn't wan to play. Peace

Brendan's replacement as leader on ST will be AP. That being said, I would not have an issue bringing back Worrell as a ST contributor. Peace

What a tool. Be a man and step up take your punishment. I tire of his crap. Peace

Thank you for providing the perspective as usual. Minimal money with incentives - nothing wrong with that. Peace

I agree the Trib has fallen way off. Mulligan and Biggs do a much, much better job. Peace

With the 54 pick, the Tennessee Titans select Martellus Bennett, TE, Texas A&M. Hester 3:16 and the Seattle Seahawks are on the clock.

I have only 1 rule when it comes to Chicago news - never, ever read Jay Mariotti. Peace

Sounds like a good kid and I would not be unhappy with the pick. If we take him, however, we better be damn sure we can get the OT we need in round 2. Peace

Good special teams contributor who is also a solid 4th or 5th receiver. I'm sure the dollars are minimal. No issue with locking him up. Peace

I am excited period as I love the draft. I would be happy with either Williams, Albert, or Otah at 14. Peace

Anyone who has followed the trials and tribulations of Motorola (the company I work for) would agree with this. Ed Zander screwed this company into the ground and got a 30 million dollar buyout as a thank you. Peace

Isn't that the point of the board - to discuss the Bears???? Well, personally I see myself as glass half full when it comes to the Bears. I always am looking for the positive in everything they do and thinking that every move could possibly lead to a SB. I am probably foolish that way. Bottom line, we come to this site to express our opinions with other Bear fans. Its ok that we disagree. There is a difference, however, between saying someone is a selfish jerk and saying someone is acting like a selfish jerk. That was the only problem I had with your original response to this post. Peace

Let me first say I don't think it is necessary to call others with a differing point of view selfish jerks. To me, Brian signed a contract and needs to honor it. I don't want to hear that someone who received over 20 million in guarenteed money and is getting 4 million this next yr is unhappy with his contract. Especially when this person acted like a jerk most of last yr. I do not care to hear about his legal issues. I do not care to hear him bitching about money. I want him to shup up and get to practice and be ready to play football in September. Peace

The union would have to agree to this and they never will. Peace

The Bears should worry about him after Harris, Gould, and Url. He will get his money but it will be most likely be during or after the season. Peace
