I think the offense will function better in a second year. The only thing that will throw a wrench in that is injuries, but Cutler's injury last year didnt really affect it as much as we thought. I think with Wilson he will have more plays than Bennett contributed last year. With our weapons we have I think it is very important to get a reliable backup to Forte. If he goes down, offense could get derailed. I think the OL will be better promoting more consistency on offense. As much as a better defense makes the offense better we really need to add the RB and another TE and maybe at WR. You figure with a good offense that teams will be playing from behind and with an improve pass rush but could be riding a few loss team, but depth is paramount.

I think Donald will be a stud, but I think we are not saying-what we would do-but what we think Emery would do. I think he will first try to trade down and Donald wont be there. I think he might want a bigger guy, more from a durability issue. He just thinks he might hold up longer. I have never read where Donald was great with his run defense, so he may valve that in the equation.

IMO, I think he is going to trade down and grab a Hageman or Truitt. Both are bigger, can play multi positions, and athletic. I want a playmaker on defense,CB,DT, S or LB, I dont really care long has he hits on it.

I think it is hard to predict how the draft would have played out. Pre draft talk isnt worth crap on drafting positions players are actually drafted, we will never know. Draft is a crap shoot anyways, first round is 50% bust.

It is considered a deeper draft but you never know how those things play out. I think Lovie was in the in Emery's ear on draft day, so I kinda of cut him a little slack on his first year. Was thrown in late and last year will be a better judge on him.

Dont get me wrong would love for him to succeed but just now sure how he will fit.

We dont have enough years for Emery to properly compare drafts. We know JA wasnt very good at drafting. The last 5 years are what usually makes up the core of a team and we have little or nothing to show for it. What I like about Emery is he sees a weakness and seems to go after it to fix it. He adds 4 OL starters last year and now we have a descent OL with prospects of being much better. He is attacking the pass rush and think he could be doing a huge up grade there.

The possiblity exists he could draft any of the players previous mentioned, but he could surprise with a pick. I can see him trading down to the end of the round and grabbing a Truitt,Hageman or a Ward.

I would think that's about right. If he was faster, he could maybe be a RB,S but his speed isnt great.4.74

He will be brought in for a workout at Halas Hall. Does anybody remember if the players we brought in last year were any we actually drafted?

Just heard on the score that Jordan Lynch has a meeting set up with the Bears this month. There will be a lot of pre draft meetings, so here is a spot to let us know who were looking at.

He has stated a few kind words, but usually he's a tool. You can be kissy face with his poster, Im not interested.

I agree but in a ideal situation we should make those two our first two picks, but if you want an impact player you have to take BPA other than QB and DE, I would have to say everything else is open. An OT if one of the top 3 drop, but ideally not OL in the first.

It always fascinates me what writers(obviously not from Chicago) view the Bears situation. For the same reason he states we need to draft a CB, he states were ok at DT. I think if we were done with adding players we would get by at DT. With the 3 DTs you have Houston that will play inside and Izzy will see snaps there, but it is as glaring a need as any other position on the team. Drafting a guard high is ridiculous, we have two prime starters and a young backup plus Boggs can play OG. The idea of drafting another OL that could eventually play center isnt a bad idea but that will never happen before the 4th round.Our first round pick needs to be a starter from day one, at DT, be in a rotation. At CB, would have to push for at least nickel back starter time. We need to add a DT,CB,S,and MLB in the first 4 rounds. DT is a little deeper if we waiter until the 3rd round there would still be a few players left that could possibly see playing time if we went CB and S with the first two picks. Anthony Johnson-Jones-Rejid-Ferguson-Uko-Coleman. I think CB has some depth but safety after the first two rounds will thin out drastically. So the first two rounds should be DT-S in either order, and then a CB in the third.

This an interesting take on who the Bears draft. It basically states expect the unexpected and that is what is going to happen. A surprise in store for us in the first round. http://www.chatsports.com/chicago-bears/a/...hange-2-9593154

I think the Bears offered Urlacher two mil, and they werent trying to negotiate with him. We can argue what should have happened but the rest of the NFL agreed with his valve and that's why he retired.Sometime its time and it was his time to leave. They see valve in Tillman so they have a greater valve assessed to him and he's back here because he has loyality to the organisation and realized that was the best thing to do.We dont know for sure but after visiting other teams he came back, I totally think he accepted the offer they made him and didnt negotiate. Urlacher was always about himself, Peanut is a different type of person and has class.

The problem with his size is not that he wouldnt be a playmaker but more of the durability issue.People rarely have long careers at saftey when undersized, so it just is a higher risk factor.

I think Melton was trying to get a 6 to 8 mil a year deal and the Bears had him go hunting with the offer to match his deal, but Melton has a big ego so what transpired is what happened. I think Urlacher would not have been that good if he played, and it seems that no one in the NFL was interested so the Bears did the right thing and let him walk.

All of that

Im all in on Brown, but his injury screwed me in a few fantasy leagues last year.

Tillman came back and played for what they offered him, they didnt have to negotiate with him. If I look for a job, they tell what the job pays, I cant go to them and say I want x number of dollars you have to negotiate with me. They made an offer and Brian wanted more so they said goodbye, the Bears did what any business would do establish a valve for a product and if they cant buy that product at that price go another direction.Melton, they told to go get some offers and come back, they had a figure in mind, he's the one that took and didnt bring back to see what the Bears would do. Melton got paid 8.6 mil for a couple of games but the crybaby thinks he's worth more than he is so he cries foul, screw him.

Actually we could bring in many at a vet min. The cap is established by the top 51 salaries and anything at the low end wouldnt even count.

I hate to bring this up , but I think Conte might get some of his swagger back this year. He played well enough in 2012 to say he was an up and comer but so bad in 2013 we forgot about the year before. i agree with a better front 7 the back will look better, but I think S is a must for a potential starter. It was that bad last year.

There will still be some bodies out there that can help us. We still have a lot of roster spots to fill. I would like Britton back,we know what were getting from him. We will fill some spots on draft day, but your lucky if 3 or 4 could contribute the first year.

I always view you, to like nobody, but of course that's not true. You do like some players and I should take a more realistic approach to your views.
