Hopkins is not a free agent but he would only be the to pay a big contact.

It would nice to have them do what I want them to do but what I think they will do is not pay for the highest 2 Wrs, maybe 1. Robinson on as shown to be injury prone. I think they will only go so high on Landry, so I don't think they sign either of those. I suspect they want speed and quickness so I suggest Brown and a reliable Crabtree for a go to guy and the will be well under the top WRs.i like the thought of Breeland. Personally I think they go with RRH and Bullard to fill the other DE spot and spend in other area of need. I agree with your FAs to keep.i think they keep Inman or Merideth but not both. Merideth has more upside but add some speed guys.

I'm in Colombia for the month and am just on my phone so i can't post a link but I just watched a Q Nelson highlights video. Can someone post the link? It was on twitter with thr tilte, Why the Bears can't pass up drafting Q. Nelson. He is a total stud. If Long is healthy cut ties with Sitton ( our best OL last year) He is 31 and missed 6 games in the last 2 years. Time to move on and grab the best OL prospect to come out of college in last 5 years, stated by one scout. I know it's just a OG but is a potential 8 to 10 year all pro prospect. Leno- Q Nelson-Whitehair-healthy Long-New RT ( my choice would be 2nd round pick Kolton Miller. STUD OL with attitude. Morgan and Kush as backups. Done deal OMG

If the chance 4 QBs and 1 RB goes in top 7 so if that is the case, we have much more than a NT to choose from.

Your right if you want to get complex you would have to consider money, but you will simplify draft by excluding FA. Got it.Everything you said is why a simple draft is unrealistic. I'll jump after FA when we can have legitimate arguments. Have fun.

I totally agree. Resign Fuller, and Callahan. Then pick up Trumain Johnson or equal. Then resign Merideth and Wright ( Wright will flourish under Nagy). Pickup up Crabtree and John Brown (deep threat ) and then end up with a draft pick. So Fuller Callahan Johnson? So Wright White Merideth Crabtree Brown Draft pick. Also in FA. We bring back Houston on cheap contract. Sign Junior Gazette( flourished in NO but failed in Washington.) On the cheap, draft one high. Oline only has one young major player, Andrew Norvell, a guard, will draft 2 OLinemen.

I think the first year they play him at RT , his weakness is he needs to play stronger. I think they give Leno 1 more year under HH and see how he progresses. If not his contract is set up that he could be let go in Year 3. Then Williams could move to LT or Leno gets good and have Jack Conklin type problem, 2 good OTs. They will rebuild the line this year or get a lot better under HH.

When I do silly mock drafts it is all my opinions but I do them with consideration of who I think we pick up in free agency. Trades on draft days would be impossible to project so I understand the reason to leave that out . I think to do a consensus draft it would not be very legitimate without considering free agency. #1 Solder will not be leaving NE unless you give him a huge contract. We will not be chasing guys over 30 , Sitton was 29 when he fell in our lap and carried a few pro bowls with him. Show me those in free agency? #2 Demps was over 30 and how did that turn out for us? #3 the Ansel thought is intriguing and would change our draft wishes if they think a DE can play our OLB spot. I think Pace has shown the tendency to go after FAs going on there second contract,25 to 28 year olds.who fits that bill at the OT position? That is any good? The CB and WR positions have the most good players in free agency, so my thought is we fill those needs in FAgency and then draft the other positions. I also think he thinks Leno is good enough at his spot and will only draft a RT. I as you would like both replaced. Since you are asking for input from everyone, I am giving my opinion before you start. To make this realistic, let's do a free agency concesous first then add a draft concesous after. Otherwise we may as j well ust do mock drafts and dream.

After the White fiasco , we will not draft a wr in the first round, take it to the bank. None this year are valved top 10, Ripley is 15 to 25 range. We wi not reach at the first pick even though I agree we need a complete overhaul. We will keep Wright and maybe Merideth.

There is only one high end OL in free agency, Andrew Norvell, the rest are below average. So to pretend they might take 2 OT, they need to upgrade not go backwards. Good luck with finding a good OLB, but CBs and Wrs, yes. It's not that complicated. So I'll jump in when it becomes more realistic.

Your right I just noticed that but trading down is a hard scenario to project, but FA will be over with. If we grab 2 wrs and 2 CBs, does anyone seriously think were drafting a WR or CB in first round . No way which makes this post unrealistic. No Olbs or OTs in free agency so how can we judge a draft with some our needs filled in FA.

Since When the draft takes place , we will already have picked up some players in FA. The strength of FA is numerous Wrs and good CBs. So I think we bring back Fuller and another quality CB. By the way Prince was not a bust in any sense of conversation. I also think we will add 2 WRs So in draft order of need , I think we grab a OLB in the first round and still get one of the quality Ts in the second. Williams McGiintnry Brown Miller Ranklin Oneil What ever OT we get will play RT this year. Then in the 4th we grab WR and CB. Jason you keep bringing up DE as a need and I believe they do not believe that it is with Bullard and RHH set to take a giant step forward.

I agree he was our best OL last year but he has missed 3 games both years he has been here and will turn 32 next year. Do we really want to start 2 OGs with injury issues for another year. I think, you bring in Nelson and keep all of them and let it all play out. I have read where one coach thinks Nelson is the best oline prospect in the last 5 years. I think HH can get more out of Leno, we deffintly will get a new RT. Long at 29 would be the oldest OL. Look to the future and fix it for the next 5 years , not fall back into the injured guard Russian roulette we played the last 2 years. No way were having two rookie tackles start next year, the best OL in the draft start clearly start, then we only have the RT to oversee. I'm right here and they definitely prioritize the OL this year with a young QB.

Of course there is room to fail but, I like the quickness to have more choices since very few hires have took place we get better choices. HH is a coup, now we just need to draft 2 OL and let him to go to work. If we stay at 8, I would take Nelson, best O linemen in draft and also take a OT in second round. Let Suitton and his 8 million leave. Leno- Nelson-Whitehair-long-new OT(Kolton Miller). That would be a brutal upgrade and if Long goes back to being hurt again we have Eric Kush and Morgan to fall back on.

If Fangios back, why would he want to go anywhere else. His name has not shown up anywhere for a DC job.

There is no way they gave him a deadline. I would say the fact they asked permission to interview other DCs , that created more pressure on Vic to decide. His other options was Arizona and if they wanted Shurmur, would have to wait until playoffs were over. He knew the Bears were not going to wait, so he took the offer. Common sense approach to negotiations.

The gangs all back together. We don't have any idea how this well turn out but the quickness and names brought in looks amazing on this side of the glass.

Won't this be similar to the packers offense? McCarthy came from that coaching tree. All types of wrs, passing to many wrs. Cobb, Nelson, Adams, TE, RBs.

It comes down to 2 things, money or he has talked to Shumar and wants to go to warm weather. Shurmur can't take a job until after playoffs.

Tabor learned under Toub and after Nagy talked to Toub about the job, he recommended him for the job. He still thinks he's going to get a HC job.

I don't think their the football bible, but just a tool to add to the information circle.

I wonder if the free agent to be Albert Wilson could be a signer. Just a slot type younger than Wright that Nagy is more familiar. Could be cheaper # 4 for roster. They player Hill out of the slot a lot but he had 31 receptions last year.

Good read, definitely think the arrow points up.

Has anyone thought about Ed Donatitel as the DC if Fangio gets away? He has did it before and seems to be on the same page as Fangio.

Of course there is risk, but only wins will prove how worthy the choice was . Look at the chances Oakland took, 100 million on someone that hasn't been in football for 10 years. Results are all that matter.
