ASHKUM BEAR

Trading down off the bat put me in a handy cap, but I could be happy here. Georgia north: Fromm, Wims, Riley, and speedster Robertson. Carter is an aggressive CB, Johnson seems like he can become a pass rush opposite of Mack, Feaster adds speed at RB, Prater G/C depth to develop. Gazaino to rotate at OLB. Hopkins to become our TE playmaker and Prince to anchor OT. Your score is: 33909 (GRADE: Your Picks: Round 2 Pick 18: Prince Tega Wanogho, OT, Auburn (B+) Round 2 Pick 20 (LAR): Jake Fromm, QB, Georgia (A-) Round 3 Pick 20 (LAR): Brycen Hopkins, TE, Purdue (A+) Round 4 Pick 41 (COMP): TJ Carter, CB, Memphis (A+) Round 5 Pick 13: Patrick Johnson, DE/OLB, Tulane (A+) Round 5 Pick 17: Demetris Robertson, WR, Georgia (A+) Round 6 Pick 17: Joe Gaziano, DE/OLB, Northwestern (A+) Round 6 Pick 21: Tavien Feaster, RB, Clemson (A-) Round 7 Pick 19: Colton Prater, OG, Texas A&M

I know it's not popular, but since most of the oline is locked down with a big portion of cap, they could draft a speed WR early if there is one available and use the other 2nd pick on a TE/RG/OLB. 2a Jalen Reager WR TCU 2b Thadeous Moss TE LSU 4 Ben Bredeson G Mich 5 Akeem Davis Gather OLB App St 6a DeeJay Dallas RB Miami 6b.

Let's ask Mike Glennon how far you can trust words from Pace. I would like to see a QB taken and you can find a gem once in a while later in the draft. Here's to finding another Minshaw and then signing a savy vet aka Brady ?

I'd love to see a light bulb turn on for our drafted qb and him succeed for the next 7-10 years, but if you can get them two do it.

Blazing speed at wr would be nice, but fixing the oline and establishing a run game are just as critical. They signed undrafted fa Hall last year and they didnt see a fit bc he was a one trick pony. This is a deep wr class, so maybe they can find a talent on day 3.

Andy Heck's kid plays LT for North Carolina entering the draft too.

To go further...you really cannot attack until you have the lead and it wasn't often they had a chance to. When you attack, you leave someone open. Pagano was fine for what he was dealt

They should draft 1 or 2 every year, as Jason would say, and I approve. Look at SF how was built. Use those high picks on the beef (OL/DL)...wheres the beef? Unless you can get a QB, premium pass rusher, or shutdown CB, they should always go that route imo.

I seen some things I liked from him which made me think Von Miller. With Mack, Hicks, and Goldman, you would think someone's job should be easy. Floyd just cannot seem to establish a pass rush, so I'd be good with bringing in competition from the draft if they find an affordable route to keep him.

So your saying the Bears are looking at a speed wr..

Thanks for this. The score station reported this morning how he is a great QB coach especially with mechanics ?⚙. Wentz played his best football when he was his QB coach. Hoping he can get MT playing his best ball too.

Glad to see Jimbo Covert in the Hall. He and his wife came to my little hometown of Ashkum Il for Hands Across America.

I feel these coaches need to be de-flipped, DeFilippo OC and Lazor QB coach. I like some of these moves. New minds to prepare the players. Could make a difference or could backfire?

The Chicago Bears have hired John DeFilippo to be the new QB coach. Dave Ra-gone is not gone but now a passing coordinator.

Another name Lazor worked with... Nick Foles in 2013 and it was an RPO offense. Found the info in this article https://www.bengals.com/news/lazor-oversees-offense-s-hybrid-evolution-20555917 Lazor might be able to help simplify the system making it easier to grasp. Still need a oline that can function, maybe Castillo will help on that.

Not saying Montgomery wouldn't be the feature, but we cannot count on Cohen to take over if Monty goes down. I'd feel better if they had another back on the roster that can. Maybe one with a little more speed to mix it up occasionally too because I hate seeing Cohen run for the sideline like its paydirt.

I remember liking Derek Henry, saying if we don't take Gurley in 2015, we can take Henry in 16. I'd be good with taking OT with our first 2nd rd pick, trading down with the next to gain a 3rd RD and then drafting TE and RG. We can find a good back in 4th/5th to compliment Montgomery/Cohen. We've invested in CB with Skrine/Tolliver/Shelly which can lighten the blow of losing Prince. OLB/SS will be difficult, but maybe Floyd can be reworked making it team friendly. Use the 4/5 on a SS and a 6th on OLB. With any cap space, bring in another OLB. The hardest part would be getting Nagy to go with power run. He cannot envision how a great run game would make his pass game much more potent.

Two positions make it difficult to choose. Smith is a lock and Kwit and KPL fill in fine, so Trevathan is easier to let go. Floyd may not be glamour, but he does just enough besides get sacks. Have to say make Floyd an offer if he refuses use the money to lock the ILB down.

And Miller has a baby on the way. Floyd will depend on the money. No way they pay him his 5th yr money. Pay him as a rotational OLB and then maybe. Leno will be back. LT is almost as hard to find as a QB. I hope they find valid competition, but it takes usually rookie OL a year or more to get strong enough. Find one technically sound and they might get by. They haven't drafted OT forever it feels. Should be done almost every other year. I hope the new coach earns his pay and turns the line around. It would be more beneficial to have that.

I'd be happy to make the playoffs on the regular right now. Two playoff years out of 10 years (2010, 2018). Let's get to the top 10 before asking to be a top 5. Need a QB for that, this is do or die for MT.

One thought I have is what percentage of plays called are RPO. How many fail due to oline missing assignment, how many are on the WR running wrong route. How many on QB making a bad read/throw? How do you block an RPO if you cannot block more than 1 yd downfield? They are supposed to try to block laterally. I like the concept, but RPO makes everyone's job nearly impossible. Maybe we have good enough players for a standard offense. Just adding some thoughts to consider. Instead of starting all over fron top to bottom, maybe change concepts

I think extending Floyd to a 3 year deal and keeping it modest would be ok. Draft a 2nd round talent that can compete with him and maybe competition can make the best out of the two and give us ammo if another team needs a OLB down the road. Hard to say if any of these TEs will grade out high enough, but I'd leave open or trade down some to gain a possible 3rd. For SS, Amos was a 4th rd, so there is hope finding one later too.

I see it as a unit problem with MT included. They need a lot if growing from oline to WRs making catches and MT making the throws and reads. The coach needs to have them ready or change it to what they can do.

Hard to say what his verdict will be by April, but it is a route I can see the Bears going by grabbing a TE/OLB in round 2. The kid from ND could be one to they look at. We will need a OLB page for sure. The Bears don't need a superstar, just someone that can deliver the sacks when needed.

He would be a steal imo and a piece the Bears were missing. We can say the oline and QB are also missing, but I dont think the Bears go too crazy in the draft there besides possibly filling the RG. If they can get Bryce Hopkins TE and the say OLB Terrell Lewis Alabama, they would fill 2 huge needs, but won't be able to trade down for more picks either. Sign Floyd to a friendly 3 year deal or cut him and have him rotate with a guy that reminds me a little of Von Miller. Draft with no trades: 2a - Bryce Hopkins TE Pur 2b- Terrell Lewis OLB Al 4- Ben Bredeson OG Mich (Road Grader) 5- DeeJay Dallas RB Mia (just for Club Dub) (also versatile player WR/RB/KR) 6a Charlie Heck OT UNC (Andy Hecks son/KC and Bear connection) 6b Luq Barcoo CB SDSU sleeper that will climb boards 7 Case Cookus QB N Arz St -another sleeper that will climb too
