Just heard on the score that Josh Freeman visited the Bears today. He is a big pudwack and dont think that's a good idea.

Just digest information, and apply it to the NFL. I think SF and Seattle are the two best teams in the NFC, so for the Bears to be successful you have to understand what those teams are.

He isnt a top10 center but he is in the next tier of centers. A little above average.For now he is a better backup than Boggs, but is 28 with 44 games starting. Familiar with the system and I definitely see him being our next starting center after Garza is done. For those PFF supporters, he was the 12th ranked center last year.

Emery ,I think will end up being better at the GM position but time will tell with a better amount of data to use. I like the fact Emery attacks positions of need with a vengeance. OL last year, WRs over his tenure and now DE position. So far so good.

I like your names but think somewhere in there you could have went with a better RB prospect.

We have to worry about improving our team, and let everything else take care of itself. Harbaugh's contract is up after this year, and there's a big payday coming for Kapernick so after this year they start going the wrong direction. With Seahawks and SF still strong this year, our chances of making a Superbowl are still slim, but with all the big contracts coming up for both teams, things start to go the other direction.

There getting players at their price and this time we got a good one. He will be our center of the future.

This is very good, I have been pining for it. With NOs jacking him around they pissed him off, so he signs here. He is the center of the future and gives us depth at OG with Garza being able to move there if we have an injury. I suspect with Garza's age, sometime this year Brian takes over the center position, starting.

He will go in the second round. The draft will make a lot of predictions look good or look dump. Am just throwing out my opinions and see where they fall.

I agree with you that possibility exists, he is the type of player Emery may surprise us with.

that's a good find,anyway we improve the team as little as it might seem works for me.

I think we draft one, with the players available thats how that draft fell. I have mentioned a higher pick before and in the draft I took Smallwood in the 4th. He has been rated a higher pick in many mocks, so that was a good valve. All my drafts I grab a LB, the proposal of drafting one high is just an option people seem to discount and I bring it up for that reason. Im a Donald guy like you but just list the options. As far as Quarles as a 3-4 player? With all that Ive read, I have never seen him mentioned as anything other than a DT in a 4-3.

To be honest I think as I have mentioned before with Briggs, not fully recovered from his should injury, playing bad and he gets inserted in the WLB spot after a few games and stays there for 7 years.

I read a story talking about maybe Joe Kim was our biggest addition this off season. To give credit SCS has mentioned his name many times. So I look at the improvement of his addition to KC where he worked from 2010-2012. In 2009 KC had 22 sacks. 4-12 In 2010 it rose to 39 sacks. Almost double the sack total. 10-6 In 2011 it went to 29. 7-9 In 2012 27. 2-14 As I looked further, the team as a whole had a good year in 2010 because of an improved offense. Cassel and Charles both played well. In 2011, Charles was hurt and Cassel stunk. 2012 Charles played well but Cassel just not very good. In conclusion: I see Kim as helping but think the the biggest difference on KCs success during those years was how the offense played. So he can help, but with a lousy offense he didnt show improvement as a lousy offense affects the game so much it changed the way the defense played. The good thing is we have the offense to go with an improving defense and anything we add that might help cant be a bad thing. http://www.rantsports.com/nfl/2014/04/03/c...go%20BearsGrid7

I think it is regarded as players make the most improvement from year 1 to 2. It makes sense, they get acclimated to the NFL life and develop their bodies better.

The board on Fanspeak seems unrealistic for positioning, but with all the sites we look at on Mock Drafts, it's worth looking at as any other.

How is plugging him in to Briggs spot giving up on him? Since he was drafted, he was stated to be his best position at WLB.I think Bostic is going to be a good player, just dont think it will be at MLB. Our difference is where we see him playing. Another year one of us will be saying(I told you so) and suspect that will be me.

The first link is what I would do if I were in command of our draft choices. This was with the Fanspeak draft site http://fanspeak.com/ontheclock/draft.php?d=tilnzn I addressed our defensive needs first and then random players I think contribute to our team. This group is how I see it playing out for Emery. I think Emery will trade down and this is how it played out. Traded with SF for our 1st, we got the 30th pick, 2nd,3rd and a 7th 1st-Pryor/FS- he was still there and was 2nd rated S 2nd-a-Quarles/DT-he has been linked to our teams draft 2nd-b-Trutt/DE/DT- he was still sitting there and was considered with the first round pick 3rd-a-Hyde/RB- with the extra picks start adding some offensive players 3rd-b-McGill/CB-a big CB being able to sit and learn his first year 4th-Martin/OC- we find Garzas replacement when he retires 5th-Savage/QB-a big QB Trestman can work with 6th-a-Morris/MLB-a productive player than can contribute on ST right away 6th-b-Lyerla/TE- a troubled player with great assests 7th-Janis/WR- a productive speed guy

This all got started with the availability of our potential draft able players.I am not pining for a LB was just stating the possibility of us drafting one.D.J. is a one and done player at his age. I think Bostic is the heir apparent of Briggs and Greene is not considered a MLB. I suggest the need still for a MLB and think it is could be in this draft. If we trade back and I think we will,then Mosely becomes more of a valve at a late first round pick. I want Donald, but with all his hoopla he could be gone as well as HaHa, two players most fitted in our slot.

If they draft a 1st round LBer he wont be the backup .Ratliff was brought back to be a starter too, but that doesnt exclude them from drafting a DT. Bostic was drafted to be Briggs replacement, he will only see MLB again if we have a rash of injuries.

Probably the pronto type for a safety, fun to watch.

Your right thats YOUR opinion, it doesnt mean anymore than anyone else on here. I am just saying names that I think Emery is considering, as I said before I think we end up trading back and then if you took Mosely as 30 that would be considered great valve. MLB is just as big a need as DT or Safety, there are less bodies there if DJ gets hurt. As least if we had to play today there are more bodies in place at the other positions. And I am not saying we are going to great at those positions.With Houston and IZZy playing at some DT snaps we would be covered at the position. When Conte comes back we have the lousy Stelth and Jennings to fill in if Conte sucks again. I think Mundy is the starting SS and does well.

His surgery is going to affect things, but is Conte the 2012 player or the 2013 version? I think he isnt as bad as he played last year. I think if he played better that is all better for the Bears. I hope he comes back strong. Petty talk doesnt bother me, we all nit pic at each other.We just need to move on with conflicts. Look at me and SCS are buddies now. Just kidding,but as of now were not fighting.

I think shorter is an advantage with leverage. I dont think everybody Donald rated as the top DT. I put more stock in the sites that have former pro scouts. Two come to mind Our Lads and Draft countdown.They both have Nix ranked a head of Donald. I agree with you, D is a stud, but unfortunately GMs dont ask our opinion.

I prefer Donald but dont discount the fact Mosley may also be in the picture. If Donald was gone I would prefer Pryor over dix.
