I agree a true FS is probably more of a need than taking a DT in Round 1. Ha Ha is s. posed to be the best free saftey in his years draft and the Bears can not afford to whiff in the first round this year. I like the sound of Donald but may be too risky for the Bears as they need a day 1 impact rookie starters from this years draft.
I think this is one of the richest safety drafts in a long time. If we don't take Dix, I like Ward in RD 2-3. The biggest impact we need is at DT, I think we have to take Donald if he's even there.
1 Donald DT
2 Bucannon SS
3 Ward FS
4 Hart DE
5 Ellis DT
6 Aikens CB
6 Best TE

Yeah, she's hot, but she's an idiot. http://www.salon.com/2014/03/17/mtv_star_k...dium=socialflow This is probably not the right forum (?) but it's something that potentially affects Cutler vis a vis his emotional well-being after his child is not protected from potentially lethal diseases. Even more surprising considering Jay's diabetes.
I have no issues with this. We live in a world that pushes vaccinations, flu shots, antibiotics to make money. I find it hard to believe my friends that work in the local hospital have lunch catered in everyday from these prescription companies.

I think Izzy gets another vet min contract. Hopefully it's an unrelated move. Probably means no Wootton though.
Wootton replied to a tweet earlier, saying he doesn't think he will be back.
-
If he's on the field, the Bears just generated like 5 turnovers.
I hope he has his best year, goes out with a ring, and shows Sherman what class is.
-
I predicted we would re-sign Ratliff, Wootton, and Tillman. Waiting on Wootton now.... I think he is ready to take the next step. If Donald is not available, then maybe we go Jernigan/Nix. Tucker likes big d-linmen. Maybe we surprise the world and take TE too? I think we are sitting at 5-6million after Tillman. I heard the draft will take 5 million this year were we are slotted. Should quite down now up into the draft, unless we release Weems/Bennett or restructure Marshall.
-
Nothing is what it seems on paper.
These guys will be fine rushing the passer. "Pressure is production". DE will not be our greatest need, we're talking about a 3-4 here tops.
What we should be worrying about is pressure up the gut. Last year we had 6 sacks from our DT position. The year before Melton alone had 6, 14 as a whole. Had we got those 8 more from the interior we had in 2012 they would have been 17th in the league.
Brings Donald back into the picture, and I would think S like Bucannon rd2, then if the big DT Ellis is availble for round 3.
-
Yeah, my philosophy on defense is that the 1st and 3rd levels are much more important than the LBs. I think if the 1st and/or 3rd levels are good, the LBs are basically guys that are required to find their gaps and hit tacklers. I know it's super-simplified, but that's my thought. And since the Bears already have Briggs, SMC, Bostic, DJ, and Greene, I don't think LB is a need. If those 5 can't fill the 3 LB positions then that's a big problem.
I agree, right now LB is low on the need list with the addition of DJ. Until we see what style defense we will be running, I'd rather hold off.
-
Another tidbit on Willie Young:
Coming out of the draft...at age 25, he is a high ceiling prospect taken in the 7th round. He has the height and athleticism to be versatile in systems, DE in a 4-3 or a OLB in a 3-4. He is intelligent, but may take a year or two to develop.
-
I pay pretty close attention to College and the NFL, watch a lot of games. Its sad I have never heard of this guy and he played against us twice every year. So I would think signing a Jared Allen type De is off the table now. I would have rather used that 3 mil towards Allen or even resigning Peppers if he doesn't get a hug offer.
Who said Peppers or Allen would play for that amount, I think that's why they haven't signed anywhere yet. Plus Allens attitude is if he doesn't get payed what he wants, he will retire. No reason to want a player that will hold that attitude against a team.
Young is younger, 28. Let's be happy that we are adding youth. We will be playing a "new scheme" defensively with a 4-3 base that will employ different alignments. There's going to be a learning curve for the team as a whole.
-
The Safety market has pretty much dried up with Clemons, Allen, and Major Wright listed as the top available Safeties. Allen and Peppers are the top DE's remaining. So essentially we can only get backwards at this point at those positions unless we get Jared Allen. We also have to replace or re-sign Melton, Wootton, and Tillman.
Handful of options, so I'm not worried. I would actually rather add through the draft. I think we can get a great SS in rounds 2-3. FS, I'd prefer experience.
Chris Clemons, Nate Allen, Kedrick Lewis, Thomas DeCoud,
Roman Harper, Ed Reed, Charles Woodson
Patrick Chung, Quintin Demps,
-
We know that Peppers and Major Wright are gone. As Emery said, the market is going to settle down and prices will fall. Look for us to sign bargain deals now like Slaussen, Williams and Anderson from last year. Peace
Speaking of not waiting for a bargain... Just seen Buffalo signed Chris Williams G for 4 years 13.5 with 5.5 guaranteed. Looks like he will get a good chance to start at LG.
-
Wow and I thought you were an original thinker, and listed reasons why he isnt there.
Lovies D doesn't require cover corners. It would be a luxury and money would be better spent on the Dline. Tillman is not a cover corner. He plays a decent zone, but is excellant at tackling and the punch.
-
One thing I haven't read yet, is this signing can be significant in next years draft. We haven't had a complimentary pick in years and if our FA losses are greater than our aquisitions, we may reap some picks. The McCown signing and if he does start may net us a 3rd or 4th RD pick.
This is were I want to see the Bears again. Growing their own and having replacements ready to step up. Not saying we are there yet, but if McCown, Tillman, Melton all sign, we may have 10 picks next year. 10 picks and we have flexibility to trade picks for future picks.
-
Agreed on this but he is a great guy. Best of luck to him. Peace
No doubt he has the right work ethic and attitude, that is really why he has cashed in.
-
Double Danged, great minds think alike lol.
He owes Trestman, Mashall, Jeffrey, Bennett, and Forte 8 million of that. He hit the lotto, teaching one year, millionaire the next.

http://www.businessinsider.com/jay-cutler-...lary-cap-2014-1 That Is an absolute joke
The 20 some years that Bears didn't have a QB was the absolute joke. Cutler is making what top 15-16 NFL QB's make these days.
-
Another saftey, played for the pack last year.....Not a bad signing, he's still young and probably didn't cost much.
RFA? What does that cost us draft wise?
-
Source: #Bears are now targeting #Raiders star defensive end Lamarr Houston after missing out on Michael Bennett. They are pushing hard
Looks like Houston is our next target. I like him more than Johnson.
-
He will be 31 this month. It goes against what Emery has said about getting younger, or maybe younger than Peppers would still considered younger. I would like this addition if we missed on Johnson and Bennett. Tuck would bring good leadership and it doesn't hurt he is a ND man!!! Love the Irish.
Then I hope we draft Nix and Tuitt!!!
-
If they miss out on the high paid DEs I'd be cool with this.
I'd rather save the money, I think this draft is rich with SS's.
-
Wow. I just commented on this in another post.
Does Biggs know this because of the brother factor? The NFL does a damn good job of making sure signings are not leaked. I agree Biggs thinks he knows what's going to happen. How can he report it?
That being said, I agree with exactly what you said. I hope it is correct and I hope it doesn't set us back too much financially.
Biggs also thinks we are cutting Peppers. I know it's inevitable and impractical, but wouldn't it be nice to have Peppers and Bennett???
If Peppers would take a big pay cut, it would be great to have these two but I think we are moving on.
I think this deal was done a while ago, we had Marty to thank for that. He's been pressing on this for a long time.

Hope this is correct, and hope this doesn't set us back financially.

3rd rd pick????? c'mon guys lovie is in charge of a team again so count tampa in for a 1st rd pick for him....
LOL! I think Lovie should give us Tampa's entire draft, we can throw in Tillman, Hester, and Cutler too. All we need is McCown to win!
-
In the Hester thread, I thought that the Bears wanted to maximize their roster spots and go with someone who is more than just a returner, and Dexter McCluster seems to fit that role. I still believe we have a good chance at landing Bennett. Emery wants to make this his team, so I have a feeling that Tillman is gone.
What about Darren Spoles? He can be a change of pace scat back/returner. He might be cheap and he might want to rejoin Kromer.

This will be ugly but using drafttek too:
1-Timmy Jernigan DT
2-Deone Buccannon SS
2-Kelcy Quarles DT
3-Jimmy Ward FS
3-Kadeem Carey RB
4-Joe Don Duncan TE
4-Taylor Hart DE
5-Walt Aikens CB
6-Aaron Murray QB
6-Gabe Ikard C
It's unrealistic, but going off the same drafttek draft order I'd be ecstatic with this.
....if we don't trade down...
1. HaHa Clinton-Dix FS
2-Austin Seferian-Jenkins TE 6-6
3-Kelcy Quarles DT
4-Taylor Hart DE
5-Walt Aikens CB
6-Aaron Murray QB
6-Gabe Ikard C
