Walter football says Ego can play NT and DE in a 3-4, but he is best suited to be a 3T in a 4-3. Sutton, it's hard to see, but he can add weight if needed.

I think rounds 2-4 is where you find your DL. They need to be big strong guys because they have grunt roles. Very few make the probowl because their biggest role is keeping the lbs clean.

Thanks for looking this up. I was wanting to visit his stats again because he had crazy numbers. Just like Shea if you dare to compare him too. We might have the OLBs on this team already and not even know it.

I'd pass. We have youth for depth or possible to start. Getting a vet I'd want a baller and Hawk has never lived up to that imo. Plus he came from the hated north.

Who is dgb. Is that the WR dorrell beckem green? Sp

My biggest target would be the best safety. Why? Because we have money and the draft is not deep. I expect Pace to target a FS like McCourty first and Rahim Moore would be his backup plan. We can draft a decent RD3 SS and I believe Mundy can be improved with talent around him at FS/LB. My second target would be a 5 tech DE, I don't have any FA names that we could target, but I don't see much talent in the draft here either. TE is the third target, and I seen a guy from Denver the Bears may target. Not Thomas, but Virgil Green. Green was a pass catching prospect, but developed into a great run blocker and should be fairly cheap. Other needs I think are rich in this draft are CB, RB, WR.

I think when the dust settles, we will either: a.) Danny Shelton DT b.) Alvin Bud Dupree OLB/DE c.) trade down - may fill more major needs: 1) Landon Collins S or 2) Arik Armstead or find a way to get both.

I remember those days, hard to believe I've been an addict on this site for so long.

These guys are easy to fall in love with and would fall inline of a need say two years down the road. If you look at the roster composed right now, OLB would be a log jam. McClellin, Young, Allen, Washington, will all be fighting for spots. I'm not against at taking one, just throwing out they may go a different route. Positions in the red are Safety and think we should absolutely fill that in FA and a 3-4 DE. Yellow (2nd biggest need) is DT, CB, OT, TE, C, RB, and WR. Green needs are upgrades: OLB, QB. How we fill these needs will be fun

This draft is something else. There is 5 names the Bears can go with. Throw in Winston, Mariota, Williams, Cooper, White, Parker, Scherff and Shelton and the teams that draft them will feel good. The Bears could move down 2-3 spots and come out good.

There really is not a trade market for any of the guys that get mentioned. It is either cut them or play them. Best scenario is they rebound from the bad year and show two years ago wasn't a fluke.

His combine didn't help him for sure, did it hurt him is the question. We know he produced in college and his main purpose is to anchor and not be moved. I was sold on him after the senior bowl, but using a top 10 on a NT is a tough pill. Getting a playmaker like Fowler, Gregory, Dupree, Ray, or Beasley would be wiser while finding a NT in rounds 2 or 3 like Carl Davis, Jordan Phillips, or Ellis McCarthy can be a possibility. Since S is a need and talent seems bleek, finding a raw talent in Rd 3 or 4 like Eskridge or Jaquiski Tartt might be a good investment to let Donatell develop.

Playing devils advocate, but DTs are not about 40 yrd dashes. Look at the short burst stuff. As for Beasley, sure he shined and I would be happy with him. I am still pushing Bud Dupree as one of my guys. Vic Beasley 6-3 246 4.53 40. 1.59 10 yd split Bud Dupree 6-4 269 4.57 40 1.60 10 yd split they kinda jumped in the opposite groups to perform in. Beasley was with the DL anf Dupree with the LB. It was a move to help them both standout.

I would like to think that by subtracting Tucker, we will see a different unit we didn't know we had. These are legit nfl guys we have, they haven't had real leadership or coaching for the last two years. Don't be surprised if a rebound happens sooner. But it all depends on if they decide to dump JC, BM, and even MF. Dropping those 3 will make it a 2-3 window. If they keep them and they take to the new staff, I see a small chance this year fighting for a wildcard and being very competetive the following year.

I was going to start this in the morning, but accidentally deleted it. This is what I found: Danny Shelton NT Washington - met at Senior bowl Dominique Brown RB Louisville - East West Shrine Game Greg Henderson CB Colorado - East West Shrine Game Alvin Bud Dupree OLB Kentucky - Combine

I am intrigued with Bud Dupree. I think he is worth a look and him or Fowler may go higher than Ray.

I nearly thought this was old news, but it was Al Jean-Louis they re-signed. I thought they both did well in filling in.

I wonder if he would restructure his deal? Definately take a pay cut or maybe spread it his left over guarantee over two years. He is still an effective back and would benefit in a lesser role imo. He has golden hands and vision running the ball. Run a two back scheme and have him split out as a slot wr, 6-2 218 with 4.45 speed.

Everytime I turn on the damn radio it's whiney radio guys crying about the Bears are better off to throw the season away. Those two are not in the long term plans. I would be pissed if I was a season ticket holder and the plan was to throw the season away. Great coaches bring the best out of their players. If they cannot do so, they then cut them. They havent even had a practice, let alone a sit down together. This whole term "non-committed" to them is non sense. They havent committed to any player, yet them not saying those words has a meaning. I would like to see them try bring the best out of these guys while also implementing a plan for a future without them.

I cannot wait for the day that we no longer hear about these two. Every time the Bears are brought up, it is the same old same old. Just end it already, cut the ties. Use all the cap space to pay for their dead money and let's play for a #1 overall pick next season. Two drafts in a row with top 7 picks should set us up nicely and ARod will be two years older.

This was Allens requests last year when he was a FA I believe. I haven't seen anything yet that said he recently stated this. If he cares about money, he will keep his thoughts to himself. The Bears cannot take his dead money (11mil) and eat it. He will have to be a team player this season. I don't see a team trying to trade for that contract also.

God please no, Lovie and McCown looked worse than bad. I know bad, I seen the 2014 Chicago Bears. I am sure he would be a back up, that is what he is. A good career back up.

Good thing they rebounded with Tillman and Briggs in the 2nd and 3rd rounds after that trade. Taking Polamalu would have been great over Haynes and then taking Robert Mathis over Todd Johnson S would have put us over the top.

I know the draft trade value chart, but if the Bears and Browns believe he is the third best talent, then he is worth 2200. That chart is not the official, but it is a good definition of relative worth. That's why is used Cooper in my post. Very unlikely he falls, Jax, Oak, Was, and NY all have a WR need.

Shelton can play both fronts imo. Armstead's role was to take on blockers in his role at Oregon, so his numbers do not reflect. They say he is very strong, especially with having length. Just imagine if Cooper falls to 7, and Cleveland offers 12 & 19. 1-12 Vic Beasley OLB 1-19 Arik Armstead DE 2-39 Ty Sambrailo OT 3-71 Ellis McCarthy NT 4-103 Tyler Lockett WR
