Sounds more like the new Eben Britton than a new RT.

Draft picks Langford, Amos, and Fabuluje signed today.

Barksdale's still out there, though he had a tryout with the Falcons today.

Also, I just noticed that SD gave up a 4th and a 5th next year to move from 16 to 14, so maybe a 4th alone wouldn't have done it.

So, do you wish we would have tried to trade up for Williams? Maybe we tried, I don't know, but it's the second time in as many years that the stud first round DL second/third round WRs (DGB, Strong, Lockett etc.) or White, Goldman, and Langford?

Consider the level of competition, but these Cameron Meredith highlights are pretty impressive :

One more: Terry Williams, NT, East Carolina. Another big'un: 6'1" 350.

Looks like we also signed Bryce Callahan, CB, Rice.

Jacoby Glenn, CB, UCF Could have easily been a draft pick.

Tony Pierson, RB, Kansas Sam Carter, S, TCU John Timu, LB, Washington

He said during his conference call that he's already down to 330.

More UDFA signings: Shane Carden, QB, East Carolina (there's your QB, though he seems like a Fales clone) Jeremiah Deter, K, Toledo Qumain Black, CB, East Carolina Anthony Jefferson, S, UCLA (has potential) Chad Hamilton, OT, Coastal Carolina Cameron Jefferson, OG, Arkansas Olsen Pierre, DT, Miami

Post Bears ' signings and other relevant news here. It's already started with Alabama TE Bryan Vogler agreeing to sign with Bears. Info on him: http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2015/03...ed_pro_day.html -LS Rick Lovato, Old Dominion - WR Levi Norwood, Baylor

He doesn't seem to play that fast. At least he'll have experience with our QB next year, Connor Cook.

Would love to see Alford here if he slips. Maybe White can convince him. But now he's gone.

Seems strange that the Bears took a C that fits best in a zone blocking scheme and a T who fits best in a power scheme.

Tayo Fabuluje, OT, TCU Fabuluje had the best Pass Blocking Efficiency (97.2) for eligible LTs from the Big-12.

Articles on him. http://www.star-telegram.com/sports/colleg...le19826793.html http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2015/4/23/8471...-2015-nfl-draft

There's a TE from Iowa State, EJ Bibbs. Pass-catcher and apparently recently indicated that he always dreamed of being a Bear. Just throwing it out there.

Another trend - no small school guys. West Virginia, Florida State, Oregon, Michigan State, Penn State

I'm not a big PFF guy, but these are interesting to note: Kevin White, WR, West Virginia Brandon Marshall is gone but fear not Bears fans because Kevin White is in town. A beast of a receiver, his physicality and ability to win downfield scared many a college defensive back and promise to do the same in the NFL. Only Amari Cooper forced more missed tackles, and only Devin Smith had more deep touchdowns (7) than the talented wideout. A truly explosive player, the tandem of him and Alshon Jeffery is one that rightly has the Bears fans in attendance sitting very pretty. This fit makes all kinds of sense. Eddie Goldman, ID, Florida State What He Brings: An ability to stand up and be counted at the line of scrimmage. Won’t let double teams hurt him like a Carl Davis would and is a guy who can truly eat up blocks. Still could do more in that regard with a rather paltry 16 defensive stops in the run game really unimpressive. Don’t expect much out of him as pass rusher, isn’t his game where 43 interior defenders had higher pass rusher games against the Power-5. Where He Fits: Right on the nose. Its possible the team might use Jay Ratliff there but Goldman is your prototypical space eater who should make life easier for those behind him. He’s no Jordan Phillips mind. Hroniss Grasu, C, Oregon The Bears aren’t exactly stacked at center with Will Montgomery currently pencilled in to start so Grasu has a real chance to start. Referred to by some as a poor man’s Jason Kelce, Grasu is an extremely fluid athlete but is a little undersized and it shows with how much help he got at Oregon. Real zone blocking center who had the highest run blocking grade of Power-5 centers in a scheme that was a little friendly in this regard. Jeremy Langford, RB, Michigan State Langford forced at least three missed tackles in six games while gaining an average of 3.1 yards after contact against Power 5 teams, ninth-most in this class. He graded negatively as a blocker and receiver. Adrian Amos, S, Penn State Amos held Power 5 QBs to a 19.2 passer rating on throws into his coverage (3.3 QB rating when covering the slot), the best mark in the class.

I would try a trade down and target a developmental CB (Nick Marshall?) and a speed WR/return man (Mario Alford?).

S Adrian Amos. I liked Anthony Harris and Derron Smith more, but he probably fits the size Fangio likes more and he can play CB & in the slot. Addresses a need. Works for me. Ran 4.37 and 4.4 at his pro day.

Not a huge fan of the pick, but it sounds like Fox likes 4 RBs on the roster. I think Langford immediately becomes out best goal line back.

What was the opportunity Pace had to get out of the Cutler contract? And who would be our QB instead ?
