ASHKUM BEAR

I think Fox and Pace have to experience him to get a taste of him themselves. The McKaskeys probably would be glad to get rid of him, but this is Paces call. If i was a gm, i would want a top tier WR. If you notice a lot of the players they choose are guys that exhibit class. Sometimes that class is the form of keeping your lips zipped. From coaching choices to draft picks, the Bears target a certain personality. Even past players and coaches that don't or didn't meet the McKaskey's preference in personality are not associated with them. To me that is one I've noticed that have held back the Bears.

I've only heard about one player that didn't like him, Robbie Gould. I am sure others do not also, like Briggs who walked out on the rant. If they decide to part ways with him, I would be highly disappointed if they don't get anything back in return. Marshall is the type who would go to GB, Sea, or NE and put up career high numbers and retire with a ring or two. In those cultures, he would be the guy they ask him to be because they have a winning attitude. That's what he wants and the losing hurt him and it was seen with his blow ups or post game interviews. One loss, sure it can happen, but collapses with the talent they have is not acceptable.

Most if not all of the same players will be on that offense again. The offense will have new plays and a fresh look, so it can be an effective part of the team. I can see them not wanting him if they want to develop someone younger in the #2 role, but they may plug him in there because they know his chemistry works with those guys and it will be a year or two before they all in on a future replacement.

First off, Jason Cole is a Bleacher Report writer, basically a blog site. He can come up with anything he dreams of for hits. Until Brad Biggs tweets or writes about this, I don't buy it. Brandon is a motor mouth and I am sure many people dislike that, but when no one was taking the reins, he decided to. For those that think his stats sucked, well he played 3-4 games as basically a decoy because he was hurt. Played through when he should have recovered from a high ankle sprain.

The person who came up with this story must not be a Chicago insider. The Insiders all are trying to tell us Marshall will be gone because he is a distraction. Well Harvin is more than distraction, he is cancerous.

Really starting to hear chatter on Dorsett, moving up boards to rd 2 or late 1st. Today he is taken if available in 3rd. 1-Danny Shelton DT 2-Hauoli Kikaha OLB- trade down 8 spots and gain a 4th RD 3-Phillip Dorsett WR/KR 4-Durrell Eskridge SS 4-Jake Ryan ILB 6-Brandon Vitabile C 7-Dominique Brown RB

I wouldn't mind him back, but would hate to follow sports because every day would be bench Jay and start Josh. I think him and Jay work well together is the main reason of seeing him return as a benefit.

I would really dig that draft. Harris to me is a better S than Holliman. Like Holliman, Harris led the nation in INTs last season 2013. He also has achieved some high accolades as an athlete and student. I included a nice write up on him. http://www.virginiasports.com/sports/m-foo.../092414aac.html

I remember doing mocks last year and taking Donald in the 2nd. The he blew away the senior bowl and combine and went 1 pick before we picked. This year, I had my eyes on Shelton in the 2nd and he is on the same path....so I suspect NYJ will get him.

DT is a need with Paea possibly leaving and Ratliff on his final year on contract. Shelton would make a nice center piece. Safety is a need as I don't think they will count on Vereen and Mundy if they have options. CB needs depth, Jennings play has dropped off. OLB needs to be addressed as Shea hasn't blossomed and will be on his final year. I wouldn't expect major changes outside of the above positions listed. I think by adding Fangio and Fox, we will get better production out of the core we have. 1-Shelton DT 2-Holliman or D Smith S

As a 3-4 ILB, Bostic would have less space responsibility which I think benefits him. But with less space, he will have more bodies on him. Can Bostic and Jones become Bowman and Willis?

I would love to see a scouts or former coaches break down on the Bears roster and who can play what in a 3-4. My question on Young as an OLB, is can he cover a TE? He would most likely play the strong side which takes on blocks more or covers the TE.

I seen one on either Walter or Drafttek that had these guys available: 1-Shane Ray OLB 2-Malcom Brown DT 3-Derron Smith FS A start with those 3 and I would implode.

I don't think they will do a pure 3-4 with the roster limitations the Bears have. I see more of a transition year this first year where we might see both fronts. Two of the main clogs are Jared Allen and Will Sutton. To know what we know now, wouldn't it been nice to have taken Trae Turner OG Carolina over Sutton and had Allens money spent elsewhere.

I feel for Shea, he is a great kid. Worked his butt off to transcend to a DE and then to a LB. He tries too hard. Watch him crash into plays after the whistle blows. His instincts are what kills him. He has alway over thought, why? Because he wants a little love.

That will be fine, WR shouldn't be on a need list but he does make a BPA list. I like your inside thought on Fowler. Ive read reports he is lazy or has the physical traits to be great but his effort lacks. That is one reason I like Ray, effort is non stop. Shelton, Ray, or best OT is my big board.

Why are we worried about the money? We are 10th best out of 32 teams. We have money to add talent. Next year the cap goes up again, and we can shed Allens 11million, Fortes 8, maybe cut Jennings and be looking great cap wise again. I really don't see Cutler leaving, he will be on the team this coming season and next. Next year I like the QB class. Cook, Hackleberg, and Cardale Jones will be first round selections. All are NFL pocket passers. Plan on forfeiting future draft picks to move up for one and we can let them learn or push Cutler to the bench. If that is the plan, they will need the tools in place for a young qb to develop. Good Oline, WRs, running game.

You know I like Shelton about as much as I liked Donald last year. I would be happy either way the draft falls. Here are some scenarios. A. 1 Shelton DT 2. Kikaha OLB 3. Drummond/Pruitt FS A.2 1. Shelton DT 2. Smith/Holliman FS 3. Trey Flowers OLB B.1 1. Ray OLB 2. Jordan Phillips/Malcom Brown/Carl Davis DT 3. Drummond/Pruitt FS B.2 1. Ray OLB 2. Smith/Holliman FS 3. McCarthy DT C.for Crazy, but the offense could get it over the hump, buy D time 1. Scherff/Peat/Flowers OT 2. Gurley RB doubt he falls 3. McCarthy DT

Knocking that list down to 5: Ray, Beasley, Shelton, Scherff, and Peat. Wildcard OT Flowers from Miami gets the "other". I think Pace and Fox will retool the defense. Pace made sure to sell that in his opening presser to the fans. I have a handful of OTs listed because if Ray goes before #7 and we cannot trade down, we take Shelton or the best OT. If they pass on Shelton, they may see talent and opportunity to get a similiar player in RD2. Carl Davis, Malcom Brown, or Ellis McCarthy are all possibilities. How I see it: Rd1 -Shane Ray OLB Mizz Rd2-Derron Smith FS Fresno St Rd3-Ellis McCarthy NT UCLA Rd4-Jake Ryan ILB Mich

Moore led the NCAA in INTs one year also. I am not against signing him, but I hope they weigh the prospects in the draft too. One guy I think will be a great leader is Fresno's Derron Smith. He reminds me of Mike Brown. He has traits as a great FS but can come down and make tackles in the box also. He has great football IQ and is a student of the game.

There is a handful of OLB's I like within our Rd 2 slot.Virginias Eli Harold, Washington's Hau'Oli Kakaha, Nate Orchard Utah, Lorenzo Mauldin Lou, or Trey Flowers Ark. Or we can trade down some in Rd 1for Vic Beasley or Marcus Golden.

I would be fine with Holliman, Derron Smith, Anthony Harris, or Durrell Eskridge. The first three have ballhawking ability and Eskridge is tall and great run support. Smith might have the best leadership and smarts out of the 4. There is a chance we can get one in round 3.

Sign me up also, he is a dominate force in the middle. He will be a difference maker and make his teammates better. If they can get him and then somehow get an old teammate Marcus Peters at CB round two, I will be happy. Round three find your Safety in either Durrell Eskridge or Anthony Harris and our D has some players. Harris led the NCAA in INTs in 2013 and Eskridge has size and good tackling abilities.

What's your thoughts on Brock Vereen getting a shot at FS?

I just seen that Petty looked bad at the senior bowl, I'd pass at rd 4 too.
