It doesn't hurt to have someone in your back-up QB competition who has started an NFL game before.

Good thing Morgan's looking good, cause it sounds like Hixon tore his ACL (third time) and is done for the year if not his career.

Of the new additions, I'll say Ryan Mundy. Anyone's going to look good after our safety play last year, but I think he really helps solidify the back end. Of the rookies, I'll go with Will Sutton. There will be a lot of attention paid to the ends, and Sutton's penetrating ability is something no one else on the roster really adds. I can see him in the rotation early and making a lot of big plays as the season goes on.

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/nfl-dra...agents-to-watch Chicago Bears -- LB Christian Jones, Florida State: Jones went undrafted due to some durability concerns and questions about where his best position will be at the next level, but if he stays healthy he might be able to carve out a niche on special teams coverage. Jones has the versatile ability to help in sub-package situations at several front-seven spots.

I heard Emery somewhere say that he thought they would carry 10 DL (they ranged from 9-10 last year). That may squeeze out a LB. I think Briggs, Williams, Bostic, and Greene are safe. McClellin will probably stick unless he looks awful at LB and/or another team offers a draft pick for him. I would think they carry six LBs, so the last spot to me is probably Jones v. Senn. If Jones can show up on ST and/or McClellin struggles, they may need a better potential LB option. While I value what Senn could bring in special teams, we saw with Costanzo what happens when you put a ST ace at LB.

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 heard a comparison of Ferguson to Tank Williams by someone. Tank that far more impressive college numbers, but physically they seem pretty similar.

Watched some highlights of Fales and he tends to pat the ball in the pocket. He's gonna need to break that habit.

Sounds like Trestman has a plan for Lynch. Be interested to see what that is. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...0,2383425.story

I hear Christian Jones from Florida State too. Some of us wanted him in the last few rounds. Has a shot.

Not a surprise, but Bears have added Jordan Lynch as an UDFA.

What do we see being last pick? Probably LB or a WR with return ability?

His 23 reps more than 6 tight ends, 19 running backs, 21 defensive linemen, and all 37 WRs at the combine.

Well, we got our WTF moment.

Palmer supposedly coached him prior to the Senior Bowl , so they already have a good relationship. He must have had good things to say.

Also, he's not a burner, but has return experience: Jeremy Gallon. I know he's small, but I loved the way he played in college, which is hard for a Hawkeye fan to admit about a Wolverine.

Christian Jones would be nice, if he lasts. Did Skov ever get picked?

Herron's still available. Also, while he's not a burner, T.J. Jones from Notre Dame has return experience and he'd fit the Bears NFL legacy theme - his uncle is Phillip Daniels and his godfather is Rocket Ishmail!

Some names: Tevin Reese, Jared Abbrederis, Isaiah Burse. Also, I don't love him as a CB, but how about Chris Davis?

Mettenberger seems the better fit and I'd certainly take him.

Three of Bears' five picks have relatives who played in the NFL: Fuller's brother Corey plays for the Lions, Sutton' father played in the 80s, now Vereen.

Nickel corner better be Kyle Fuller.

Traded 5th this year and next , but also picked up a 7th this year. Real nice move by Emery. And a reason to watch the 7th round! Nawrocki had a good write up on Vereen in his draft guide.

Watch the YouTube video if him against Washington State. I thought it was impressive running, catching, and blocking.

Works for me. Some had him as the top RB going into the offseason, then he ran slow. Sounds like he's good in pass pro too. Some say he runs too upright , but I heard the same thing about Forte.
