Not surprised Butler was cut. Draft pick is getting the job.
Peace
Signed a cb and rb that had productive college careers. They are both small, but might find a place.

First I heard this on a Brad Biggs tweet that last summer the Bears declined an offer to trade for Shea McClellin to the Texans.New Bears LB coach was with the Texans and is familiar with Shea.
Wonder what the offer was.

With all the new bodies on the club, I am curious who everybody thinks will have a breakout year that was already on the team.
My choice will be Cris Williams-We are in dire need of a new return man and I think he carries that torch.
He has speed to burn, he will also contribute at WR as our 5th wideout. With all the new players, he will find a place to succeed.
This is a good one. I could go Marquese Wilson who will have a bigger role, Chris Conte who could redeem himself, but I am choosing Shea McClellin. I think the Bears new scheme will be set up for him to be able to blitz often from different areas. His draft profile size and measurables were unbelievable, but he didnt work out being a smaller DE. Hoping those measurables make him excel as a LB.

If you watch the games you will see Forte look toward the sideline and raise his hand and go out of the game this has happened a lot and may contribute to him being slighted by his peers in the top 100 players in the league. I personally think heis top 25 even if he takes himself out of the games from time to time.
I've never noticed. Wonder why he wouldn't want to be in there? For a guy that wanted his pay day, he needs to step up and be a bigger/better player.

If only...I can barely get in a 30 minute run every other day. Wish I could devote the time..... Of course my body would probably reject anymore strain than what I barely ask it to do now.
Oh to be a professional athlete..
Wouldn't it be nice to be able to dedicate 10 weeks to transform your body. But trying to live the dream doesn't give us those opportunities.

Thats is spot on what scouts think of him, to play WLB or situational pass rusher.
I really would like to see the coaches identify and groom our young in the right posistions. Seems like all are LBs are meant to be WLB except for Shea. I think Bostic and Shea should get good looks at MLB, Greene and Jones at WLB, and SLB will fall in place. We still don't know how our D will look with a new scheme installed. Can't wait for TC to begin...
-
To waste a draft spot on him, he should be .
He is a craftsman, works hard to be the best. If he becomes one of the NFLs great punters, then it is worth the pick. Im sure every option was looked at in FAs and getting him was a priority after last seasons punter didn't help the team very often.

Mad L as you can see this has kind of bothered me for awhile because Forte has never been the same since his 316 attmp season as a rookie. Since then he hasn't come close to that production until we got Marshall and Jeffrey and had 289 attmp. which also was the second highest yrds per @ 4.6. I don't like the tap out thing he does because I would prefer for him to be told to come off the field.
Forte took himself out? Or was it the OC? For most of Forte's years, the line was awful. They would use a jumbo package at the goal line and could never punch it in with the other back either. With Trestman, I haven't seen them remove Forte in those situations. For the most part, he would even come back in for goal line carries if he came out for a few plays. Now that we have a oline and a good offensive minded coach, I don't think we will see that happening much anymore.
-
I think Cris Williams get his spot on the roster, the more I read about Jones the more I understand why he didnt get drafted. I think the possibility exists he doesnt make the squad.
I think Jones will make it, and challenge Shea for the SLB. Would they cut Shea? I doubt it, but Jones is a LB were Shea will be learning the positition. Going be a tough call when deciding on the 53.

21 was given to the Mundy the safety during FA
I thought Vereen was given #45....
-
Is there going to be a press conference introducing the rest of the draft? I know they had one for Fuller, but I thought they would have one for the others, but I haven't seen anything on it.
I like how Fuller will wear #23. That is my favorite number....wonder why....and when it was given to Hester, I bought his jersey before he ever returned a kick off or punt.
-
Even in the modern NFL, I still believe RB's can get into a rhythm as the game goes on and too much rest can be a bad thing for production. But I agree if he has talent he should get carries and that will lengthen Forte's career. It's important, in this offense, that Jay get confidence in him early, like pre-season. The way that happens is Carey does a good job blocking and/or getting out into his pass patterns, whichever the play dictates. If Cutler loses confidence in him he'll be on the bench a lot more than either of us want.
I think Ka'Deem will get every third series. As long as he can pass block and hold onto the ball, he will get some action.
-
nice!
Ego Ferguson also signed...only Fuller and Sutton left
-
The point was we knew the S prospects up close and personal and choose Fuller instead. If Emery thought he is a better player than the two Ss that is what he has to go with.
Fuller was rated a top 5 player and Emery wasn't trading down or reaching for anything else. We drafted a S that is ready to get to work and we spent a future 5th round pick to get him. Drafting is not about one season, but 4 or more. We may have 5 guys that contribute right away which is great.
-
How lucky can we be to have Cliff, he knows his shit. We never have holdouts.
I hope he has many years left before retirement. It seems he gets these done sooner every year, like its a competition.
-
Cliff Stein is at it again. Brock Vereen and David Fales both sign 4 year contracts. More to come soon!
-
I have my doubts about Clowney as well. Watching him in a couple games this season, even watching Quarles run past him on some highlight films, makes me wonder if he has the desire to really achieve what he's capable of doing. Being on such a good Dline will help him but he was drafted in a spot where he is supposed to be capable of carrying a Dline. I don't see that in him but I hope he gets there because he could be fun to watch (except when playing against the Bears of course). Savage we heard a lot about in the last few weeks leading up to the draft but I wonder about a guy who ran around looking for a place to play instead of competing and winning. How does that guy handle the pressure of being a starting QB in the NFL? To be fair I said the same about a guy named Flacco years ago.
I think Buffalo gave up too much to get Watkins. I love how Watkins plays the game but in a draft deep with WR talent and all their needs it didn't make sense to me. He will help sell tickets so that makes sense.
I don't know enough to give out grades but I do know that this will be one of the best drafts to evaluate in 3 years. Even looking at it next year will be interesting because there is so much talent, even into the 4th round, that is expected to contribute a lot on many rosters.
Such a deep draft, too bad they can't expand the rounds to match the talent, could've went 8 or 9 rounds. I wish the NFL can create a JV developmental league again. It would be nice to retain and develop some of this talent that might go wasted.
-
I already forsee next years draft/FA will be DB heavy. Only Safeties signed beyond 2015 are Mundy & Vereen. Only cornerbacks beyond Fuller/Jennings. Dline will need another DT, LB depth, and TE.
-
We addressed our line here and in FA , I think we will be much better for it.
Trestman must have liked Fales a lot or I dont think drafing a QB was on Emerys radar.
I think we almost did as good with UDFA as what we did in the draft. Jones and Lynch willl make the final roster and Groy will make the practice squad.
I think we got two really good DTs in the second and third round. They replace Ratliff and Paea in the future years. Rotational guys as of now.
Fuller is going to be a star.
Leno makes the roster .
Carey is damn good and will be a tandem with someone else once Forte is done.
Vereen ends up being the starter game 5 and keeps the job.
We have a new punter that is bitchin
Fales rests on the practice squad.
All the draftees make the team this year and a few UDFAs.
No way they put Fales on the practice squad, he would get claimed in a heartbeat. They will be handcuffed to carry 3 QBs, which we will need to get used to. I can see Palmer eventually becoming a coach too.
-
Drafts, I believe take 3 years to play themselfs out. This year we will be grading his first draft. If SCM plays well at SLB then we will look at his first differently. Grabbing Jeffery and trading for Marshall almost negates the bad players he drafted.
Yeah, tough one as he didn't have his scouts in place and a different coach that had a large part on picking the personal. Shea should look better playing off the line.
-
Definately a deep draft. We have solid building blocks now. Down the road, this could be viewed as a great draft.
-
This is just my personal list of guys I'd contact if I were Emery:
OT Tiny Richardson
DT Kelcy Quarles
CB Marcus Roberson
LB Christian Jones
DE Jackson Jeffcoat
S Craig Loston
WR Brandon Coleman
WR Mike Davis
CB Louichez Purifoy
CB Chris Davis
LB Jonathan Brown
S Dion Bailey
S Kenny Ladler
DT Anthony Johnson
LB Shayne Skov
RB Isaiah Crowell
RB Rajion Neal
OT James Hurst
C Tyler Larsen
TE Colt Lyera
TE AC Leonard
TE Trey Burton
Just shows how much the mock draft sites and myself know about players. Many guys on this list that were on mocks as high as 3rd RD picks.

I loves me some Boise State prospects!
Athletic OT that can add 10-15 lbs and be better off inside at G. Played for Boise who was 6th in sacks allowed (.77/game).
-
Craig Loston as well.
Charles Leno Jr OT, I am always good with OT help
Dand autocorrect...fixed from Lane
Breakout player for 2014

I am hoping you are right. I think they also scheme the defense to give him freedom to attack.
