Clearly, this is Benson's year to either become the no. 1 RB or say goodbye at the end of the season. Maybe he can't recover from the season-ending injury. I just don't know. And yes, I expect the OL to be better--hell, could it be any worse? That alone should help improve the running game. So it's all up to Ced now.

Gonna keep my eyes on 12 & 17--who shows up for the third QB job. And, of course, 22. Man, I want Forte to show us something!

The Czar over on Fox Sports also gives us an A for the draft, saying we picked up QBs as UDFAs that will be just as good as what we could have drafted.

Liked your take on the QB situation Ashkum. I just believe there was no QB available that said take me and no one else when the Bears got on the clock each time. And indeed, bringing in a Breenan, Woodson or even Brohm in the second would mean forgoing a player they wanted and then putting pressure on the two QBs we have with someone that is no improvement. And your take on the WR situation makes me feel that we've got all these bodies--experience and some new blood as well--that we should be able to get four solid guys out of this group. And I think that Forte will make Benson a very expensive sub this year and a burger flipper in 2009 if he doesn't get his head screwed on. Outstanding write up!

Yeah, I remember that debate. I was in favor of Pope. Olsen, though, looks like the real deal, as little as we've seen of him. And I do beleive that a bit of competition at every position only serves to bring out the best in the players. Now, can the new draftee block?

Damn sick, again!

Of course, only time will tell, but I think they made the right choice. The two QBs we signed as UDFA apear to be as capable as Booty, IMdO.

I'm surprised that they took so many players with injury issues. But if they pan out, it looks great. Steltz could lead to Manning , Jr. being relelased. And I agree on the QB AZBearsfan. Probably after JA got Forte he just saw noone at that position that he felt was worth passing up the guys he did take. Boy, I just wonder what aged FA QB is going to be available after all the final cuts in Aug or Sept.

Thaks for the summary Prophet. Now for the UDFAs.

QB of the future? Boy I hope Orton and Rex don't get hurt.

29, Matt Suhey's number. Yeah!

IMdO seems like we picked up several kids who should contribute on STs. guess we needed them, but we also needed more OL depth too.

Remaining QBs out there should be considered TC fodder. Just going to have to see who gets released after TC to pick up a third QB. This staff has alot of faith in Rex and Orton. I wish they had gotten a QB earlier, though.

Dixon too.

Watch, they're going to sign a ton of OGs and OTs as UFA after the draft. I'm not sure that I agree with all the CBs taken and A TE?

IMdO Turner is pass first and then run. Lovie talks about running the ball, but it's just talk. And with Benson back there 3.4 yards ain't gonna make you a running team. Williams was, for me, the right pick. He can be plugged into LT now whereas some of the other guys on the board would have needed more development for LT. Boring pick, but the right one. And if we can give Orton or Rex some time who knows?

Aren't the first 3 rounds on Saturday?

Just got a bit warmer down here with your "scenic" post!

You in trouble, CC? From me? No way!!! It's good to see you're here and posting!

Good. Now lets see how they arrange this bunch of WRs. Kind of scary when you look at who we have. But, as a Kool Aide chugger,

Beautifully said, Prophet.

I think with the way bonuses and salaries are going up for as-yet-to-be-proven rookies, that this should definitely be adresses in the next CBA. It's just rediculous how much these kids get when they havn't played a down of NFL football.

Yes, I'd be upset. Brohm is not a value at 14. One of the OTs are. I want OL witht he first pick!

Ditto!

Gotta say that I am leaning toward Williams, just because what I've read says he's more an LT prospect. But your info on Otah makes me feel a bit better if we do get him. Most important for me is for us to shore up the Oline, and fast.
