Ideally, if I were GM, they wait till the 3rd or 4th to grab a CB since this years draft is incredibly deep there, but I wouldn't hate to see him as a 2R pick or perhaps more realistically a trade down option.
He will be a top40 pick, and the draft might be deep at CB, but the studs will go early.

That's a fun little schedule. A rematch of last years disaster against the Eagles. The Jags should be much improved under Gus Bradley and with all they've added. Seahawks are the Seahawks, Browns are a QB away from being pretty good as well..
The third game is usually the rehearsal dinner.

Good! Maybe we can get a good blocking TE so we don't have to hear, "#62 reporting as eligible, #62 reporting as eligible." Nothing against Ebon Britton, but those official announcements during the game always irritate me.
Emery keeps throwing darts at the board and I suspect a few of them will stick.

The picked up Josh Bellamy off waivers from the Redskins. A WR and Im not sure but think is a LS

It's tough man. Especially when so many blindly support the idiots while they are serving in Chicago.
These are different people and I think there smarter than the past regime.

Hopefully Forte doesn't get injured if they draft him....Not a guy I really want as an every down back....But if we're really talking about 5/6R I'd have no problem with it.
He will be looked at as a change of pace back, he is not an every down back.

We have a new addition, LS Chad Rempel played for Trestman in Canada. So long P. Mannley.
Interesting note: Rempel also played WR.
Also coming to Halas Hall today was RBs Phillip Tanner Javon Ringer.

Maybe. I like the fact we are viewing him as sort of a ultra back-up. I get the impression that if anybody is injured at guard or center, he's our guy.
good depth always helps.

I hope to hell we draft this guy. Would be a PERFECT fit as a utility guy that can catch passes or take hand-offs every now and then, as well as being our main special teams returner. Think Dexter McCluster.
I totally agree, he could get 10-12 touches a game and give Forte a little breather and play some slot WR.

I really have no problem with Freeman as the backup. I don't know what happened last year but his previous 3 years he was an above average starter . If anyone can get him back to his former self it's Trestman.
With Cutler here for 3 years at least I have no problem grabbing a vet vs a rookie this year.
From a football sense, he has talent but he is quite an arrogant bastard.He caused all kinds of problems in TB. I see has being a problem as far as the locker room goes. He goes to Minn, a chance to revive his career and falls on his face. enough said.

Ha, this is true. I think this shows just how much of an impact Kromer makes. In 2012 Garza was god awful and DLP was fantastic. In 2013 DLP wasn't the same player and Garza had a better year than he did.
I think he is better than average and was basically promised the job with a contract in another year. I think as the year goes on, Garza wears down and toward the end of the year we see DLP take over.

As a true Bear fan do you really sit up and think of hypothetical situations of other teams in the offseason? WOW!
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.

I don't think DeLaPuente is the center of our future because I think we are over-rating his abilities. If the Bears felt that way they could have given him a longer contract with a bump in salary next year. The lack of interest he had in the FA market says a lot IMO. Most teams felt better seeing what they could get in the draft rather than sign him. Its likely after the draft was done some team that didn't draft a C would have offered something.
He is a good 1yr option to backup Garza and rather than wait around he chose to come back to the coach who helped him become a starter in the league. Probably not a bad idea for him. For the Bears perspective I love the signing.
1) We know the team isn't that high on Boggs, confirming what most here thought anyway.
2) DeLaPuente should be sufficient enough as a backup OC that Garza can now be considered as part of our backup OG options.
I think we have our top 8 for the final roster:
Britton, Long, Slausson at OG
Garza, DeLaPuente, at OC. Boggs on the roster to compete as well but likely a practice squad candidate.
Bushrod, Mills, and Brown at OT. Joe Long on the roster as well to compete but likely a practice squad candidate.
3) We need one more body to compete at OG but this removes drafting OG/C as a need. We can still add one late in the draft if the right player is there, a UDFA, or find a vet min type to compete in camp. We have more flexibility to draft defense but really opens the door on drafting both a QB and RB in the mid-to-late rounds. I like that.
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.

What I should have highlighted is JA's first 2 drafts vs Emery's first 2. 12 picks for Emery and 20 for JA. if we reviewed the picks side by side it may not be pretty for both but for fun this was JA's first 2 hauls.
2002................................2003----------------------2012-----------------------2013
1.Marc Colombo..................1.Michael Haynes-------1.Shea McClellin.............1. Kyle Long
2.Roe Williams....................2.Rex Grossman.-------2. Alshon Jeffrey.............2. Jon Bostic
3. Terrence Metcalf..............3.Charles Tillman-------3. Brandon Hardin..........3. Khaseem Greene
4. Alex Brown.....................4. Lance Briggs---------4. Evan Rodriguez...........4. Jordon Mills
5. Bobby Gray.....................5. Todd Johnson-------5. Isaiah Frey..................5. Cornelius Washington
6. Bryan Knight...................6. Ian Scott------------6. Greg McCoy.................6. Marques Wilson
7. Jamin Elliott....................7. Bobby Wade
8. Bryan Fletcher.................8. Justin Gage
9. .....................................9. Tron LaFavor
10. ...................................10. Joe Odom
11. ...................................11. Brock Forsey
12. ...................................12. Bryan Anderson
Now looking at both of these guys 1st 2 drafts side by side and if we factor in the FA acquisitions what is the assessment? In JA's first 2 offseasons there wasn't the impact acquisitions like Emery has done to enhance his draft. Brandon Marshall trade last season plus Bushrod, Slaus?, Bennett and Trestman wins Emery the first year. In year 2 with Emery adding Allen, Houston and young plus resigning several key vets without making 1 pick tells me he has a leg up in the 2nd 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.

Why would we help one of the elite teams in the conference get the player they want? Just asking because, I don't understand that thinking!
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.
-
This goes to show that they may not be done with the offense also.
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.
-
3-4R meaning 3-4 round draft pick.
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.
-
That's funny. Every year McShay and guys like that swear a team is in love with a player, even thinking about trading up. Then the player is available and the team passes. I could easily see us taking Stephon Tuitt at #14. Stranger things have happened.
I agree with you that possibility exists, he is the type of player Emery may surprise us with.

The problem is with any side of the argument is Wolfe wasnt any good, so it doesnt matter.
