  1. I liked Bushrod coming in when he did it, keeping Jennings and Tillman and I was waving the Trestman flag after he was signed. There are just more things I don't like than do right now.

    Look at the positive side of all of this and let it shake out. With the FAs we brought in, I think our defense will be tons better.

  2. As of now, I am still on the fence with him, but he has did as many good things as he has bad and it only matters if we make the playoffs for the next few years, that is how he will be measured.

    Terr has not stated he has hated it yet, so maybe there is hope.

  3. I agree with some of your complaints but the best GMs in the league doesnt hit on all of his picks. He brought in two good FA classes, I give him a C+ so far, it isnt all bad by a long shot.

  4. I'm not talking about my choices. His first year was a complete bust outside of Jeffery. This year, the linebackers looked bad, but Long turned out great.

     

    He let Urlacher go too early imo.

     

    I didn't think Cutler deserved the contract this year.

     

    Spending on 3 DE's this year, even if Houston can move inside, and so on.

     

    I just don't like many of his decisions so far. Some I like, but the ones I don't like are outweighing the ones I do. Tucker keeping his job still boggles my mind.

  5. He is an inch taller and is a better player.

    Emery does what he thinks best, he traded for Marshall, drafted Jeffery, drafted Long. Last years draft could still turn out to be golden. When makes me smile, if we dont get who we want we complain and wakeup the next day. He makes the wrong pick and in a couple of years he loses his job. It just doesnt equate.

  6. I'm at the point that I wish the GM would trade up and draft who I wanted. I definitely not sure on Emery. He's did a lot of things I haven't liked, more than things I do like so far.

    He takes who he thinks will be a good player, not your choices. If he turns out to be similar to Tillman, we have a winner and you wont be whining anymore.

  7. There are lots of DTs left that can play. S is the position I am worried about.

    6' 190 327/8 arm length, good football quickness. 3 cone-veritcal leap-broad jump all give good signs of explosiveness.

     

    11 PBU 6 ints.-1 FF

  8. It's D Day, and I don't think past what scs pciked for Chicago in Rd 3...none of us care.

     

    At least I don't.

     

    I'm happy to keep picking, but it seems like it needs to die at this point.

    Mainly wanted to get the third Bears pick and we did that. I think SCS did a good job, but the S may not start right away, not rated very high.

  9. The Bears' 3rd-6th picks equal out to about the value of a pick in the bottom of the second round. Bears 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 6th for a lower 2nd round pick.

     

    Would you make that kind of move?

     

    Suppose the following:

    1. Donald is gone in the first, but Pryor and HHCD are available.

    2. One of three DTs falls (Hageman, Jernigan, Tuitt)

    2. Someone we like is there.

     

    In this scenario, I would be pretty happy to see:

    1. HHCD - Starts at FS immediately and reminds us of Mike Brown

    2. Jernigan - Any of the three would make me happy at this point, but

    2. Bucannon - Starts at SS immediately and

     

    It'd be unconventional for sure, but I don't think I'd be super unhappy with it. They're more likely to start than a 6th rounder anyway.

    Not a good idea, there is no guarantee that those three will be great players. You give up all your picks and Jerrin is just average and Bucannon ends up being a backup. Mundy beats him out.

  10. It has worked really well for the Pats over the years. I think it is a great thing and it always worked well for Jimmy Johnson. Reality is you want to accumulate as many good players and the more top 3 round picks you have the better the chances. There are times it doesn't make sense, when you think you have an elite option there, but when you have a handful of guys grading out similarly, the upside of an additional top 3 round pick, often times is worth it, especially when you can get real creative and move a couple times. Looking at the 1st round depth at DT, I think the Bears could move down on two separate occasions and potentially get a tackle that grades out similar to what they would have taken at 14 (again this is assuming Donald is off the board).

     

    I don't think either of the safety's available are elite picks. I like the top corners better then the top safety's, however, i won't complain if we take one and will trust what the bears do because it is a position of need.

    There was a study done on this very subject, and it has been proving that moving down adding more bodies always comes out better because you have more bodies to have the chance to be good. The first round is 50-50 anyways so having 4 chances at players is better than the one big one. I'll find the link to the stats that prove this out.

  11. I'm singing off for the rest of the day...please feel free to pick for me (or have anyone else do so). I have Minny and PIT left.

     

    Then again, with Minny, you can just assume they didn't get their pick in on time.

     

    Indy adds Antione Exum/CB-S to their defense. Exum was a high rated productive player until an injury last year. If completely healthy he could end up being a starter.

     

  12. Here is what one draft guru had to say about who we pick

     

     

    C.J. Mosley

    Alabama LB

    He is one of the most underrated players in the draft, and could be the successor to Lance Briggs or Brian Urlacher. The Bears need to take the best available defensive player. The ideal pick would be Donald, but there is virtually no way he is available at 14. Mosley is every bit the player Donald is. The difference in his draft stock is there are questions about his ability to stay healthy. If the Bears' doctors don't sign off on Mosley or if Mosely is off the board, they could go for Kyle Fuller. Others in the mix are safeties Ha Ha Clinton-Dix and Calvin Pryor.

  13.  

     

     

     

     

    I have to admit that would be good but Brooks is not a first year starter in the NFL. That will be determined.

     

    Now for my picks.

     

    Cleveland adds a MLB Skov/LB Stanford. Fills a need for the defense side of the ball

     

    Arizona has a weak offensive line and continue to rebuild it with David Yarney/OT-OG Stanford

     

    Next up is Jason for Green Bay

     

    By the way I have seen McGill/CB drafted twice so pay attention guys.
