This pretty much validates my belief that we could have done a better job drafting during JA's tenure than he did. All of us don't have a handle on the finances - although some are very good at it, and I'd trust LT2's numbers over anyone's - the simply matter of fact is, the Bears have been one of the worst drafting teams in the NFL over the last ten years.
I always thought he did a good job at it, until you look at his track record and it sucks.
Also I think Lovie was in his ear too much and influenced picks.

Does anybody have an idea where Bowling has been and Brian Bear. I dont always agree with those guys but enjoy there input on this blog.

I'd be very happy with that draft too. Ha Ha is an extremely fluid runner in the open field and covers a ton of ground quickly. I watch a little bit of the combine just to get an idea who some of these guys are and what they bring to the table. He stood out among the safeties.

It seems he has the smarts to diagnose what's going on with plays as well. Downside -- he's not very big and not a physical tackler but we need coverage skills on the backend and a sure tackler. I don't think he's Ed Reed though and I'm leery of players like him that were behind an often dominant front 7 so it's easier to make standout plays. I'm not sure about using #14 on him but if we did and got Quarles in the 2nd that'd be fine. We need some realistic starter level competition at FS with Conte and Dix will provide that.
I think he ends up being a good player, but have my doubts he is a impact player. I have more trust in Pryor or Bucannon as being more impact players at the next level.

That'd be incredible, did you use the optimal scouting big board or something like that?
I did one the other day and came away with Donald AND Jernigan! Houston-Donald-Jernigan-Young would be incredible. Houston-Donald-Ratliff-Young/Ealy sounds equally sexy....Or maybe they sign Sims, who can play the 1 or the 3, and go with Houston-Donald-Sims-Young/Ealy.
I too am addicted to that site, everytime the Bears make a move I go back and do another draft.
I know its not realistic but would be game is some of those situations actually happened. Thanks for turning me on to that site.

If he is it will be at Emery's price. I highly doubt we'd pay him $10mil/yr (for one we don't even have the cap space). He's certainly not worth more than what Peppers received as he's not that good playing the run. Peppers is not even worth what he received. I'd say Allen ends up earning around $5mil/yr. I would love the trio of Houston, Young, and Allen as the 3rd man in the rotation. Much better edge rushing than anything we saw last year. Draft Donald, kick Houston inside on 3rd and long with Allen and Young off the edge and we will get pressure…quickly.
That would absolutely increase our sack total,as a matter of fact, I could see us pushing the top 10 in the league.

I still like him late in the draft but I think it's likely the kid from the CFL, Chris Williams, can fill this role.
I wouldnt object to see us draft him or Dri Archer to add some more speed to our offense.
-
I am started to get addicted to dreaming of drafting people we might get.
This is another one I did, and the first two picks were awesome(I realize it isnt realistic)
The 3rd pick was staring me in the face, and I couldnt help but remember a Ohio State game I watched and Hyde kicked ass. I had to take him.
-
I wouldn't be opposed to the idea of making Houston a full time 3-tech DT, I can't imagine that being the plan though...Would be be interesting nevertheless
I think with Melton going Cowboy, I think there is a possibility that could happen if we get another DE, draft or FAgency.
-
If the Giants don't protect their $20mil QB nothing they do anywhere else in the draft will matter. I don't see them gambling on a lightweight DT that high in the draft.
AND the Vikings need a QB.

Your so full of shit, you always take the high road. You started the name calling, why because I disagree with you. That is all it takes to set you off. Reading is a skill, find where I call you a name.In the last 10 months the only name Ive called you is a putz, and that is because you,probably 20 times got on me because I spelled something wrong. Other people do, but not a word out of you. You even got on me about my avatars. We just love your (Cutler smoking a cigarette)that is quite the football statement. You dont like me ,and I dont like you, the difference is I admit it. This isnt kindergarten, I dont have to like you. Find a spot where I said (*I hate you), I have never said that. This is the way it is , I give you kudos when you say intelligent things(and you do that a lot) and I get on you when you say stupid stuff. I got an idea, if all of this bothers you, why dont you quit again and then sneak back two weeks later like it didnt happen.
I got an idea, keep it from getting personal and blaming everybody else for it, when your the instigator. It is quite simple people are going to disagree with you once in a while, get use to it, your not as great as you think you are.
Melton keeps leaving teams with out a contract, I think it strongly suggests he might be back. I think that would be a good thing.
-
Good. Weems was a bad pickup, for too much money, and was never going to be a WR. He was a special teams guy 99.9% of the time, and even then it's not like he was better than, or remotely close to as good as Hester...who just got cut.
Could never figure out why they keep Weems around, must have been due to guarantees in his contract.Will be glad to see him go. I liked Bennett but the fact is they were paying to much for his role on this team. It was a stupid contract when Jerry gave it to him.
-
All filler no killer.
McCray is a good ST player though.
Good way to put it, we are just signing bodies and it will sort itself out by training camp.
-
Gotcha, just clarifying.
I'm still gonna keep hoping for 1 of Melton, Sims, Carrington, or Williams until they're all gone.
Melton keeps visiting teams and nobody signs him, Im calling it right now,he comes back here.
-
He could be a decent pick up, was kicked out of UofI for theft, but size and speed are up there with the best.
The Bears were at his pro day and worked him out. His 40 time on the fast track was 4.37 and 4.44, they say to add .05 to get a better idea of his speed. Not bad for a 6-1 205 frame.
Here is a post FAgency mock that could fall that way because of the players filling spots on our roster so far.

He was never quick around the corner and he's not quicker today than he was two years ago. He was good inside as a pass rusher and I'm sure he can play some DE for us on run downs. I don't see him as the special teams ace he was 5 years ago either. Overall, I think he's just another "versatile" player Emery and Trestman seek. Having said that, why tie up cap space on Izzy in his 12th season at DE when they've stated they want to get younger on defense and have all these players competing at DE:
Houston
Young
Bass
Lane
Washington
Ozougwu
Robertson
Scott
and we still have part time rusher in SMC, and I expect we'll add someone via the draft. A draftee puts us at 9 DEs on the roster, 10 if we add Izzy to the mix. Or they cut someone.
At DT on our roster we have:
Collins
Paea
At NT we have:
Ratliff
At some point when you get to training camp there are only so many reps to go around and working 10 players through DE competition. I don't seriously think guys like Tracy Robertson, 6-4 285lbs 5.1 forty, are contenders as pass rushers either. He's competition for whatever role they envision for Izzy. Someone like Trevor Scott, 6-5 ran a 4.54 forty is in competition for a job as an edge rusher. Nothing stops them from cutting some of these bottom roster guys either.
It's hard to know since we are changing our defensive scheme but one year removed from letting Izzy go from our DE group we suddenly decide he's the answer on the edge. Seems odd to me. The question remains, are we going to use some 3-4 looks? While we are not going all out to a 3-4, when I see a guy like Izzy I can see him doing well as a situational 3-4 DE.
When the Seahawks started there rebuilding process they brought tons of players in and keep turning them over till they started to get the roster they wanted. I think we are kinda doing , just bringing in players and sorting it out. I think if we sign Izzy it is just a fall back position if some players dont pan out and we cant upgrade in the draft. Many wont be on the opening day roster, but at least we have more options going forward.

330 snaps. So he could be somewhat fresh so to speak.
I read somewhere that he was just asked to stop the run in Detroit
He'd be nice depth and gives the Bears another DE who's real good against the run and has the versatility to play inside and out.
I just dont think he fit in in Detroit, he is a better player than he showed last year. I think he has some gas left. If we miss on Melton, or think the lawsuit is to big of a stumbling block, I would like to see him back.
-
Who is our return man? While Hixon can be a returner, he hasn't done it regularly since 2009. At 6'2", I figure we view Hixon as a big WR to back-up BM and AJ.
We have to be thinking about Weems as our return man and Bennett & Marquis Wilson as the #3 WR.
As for DT, I think we'll sign a guy, but he will be more in the range of Izzy. A guy who's not awful, has been in the league, and will be cheap. Not a guy like Henry Melton.
I think were waiting on Melton to see what happens. Were not done, I doubt we have significant names to sign, but Emery has suprised us before. We can cut Weems and Bennett and pick up some money. The biggest thing to come is the draft not the rest of FAgency.

I'm a hot head, I don't like the name calling because I just have to respond to it and then the situation turns into what we have now. I left the board because all I was doing was responding to overblown arguments that were not needed. I keep trying to bury the hatchet with this guy, but he keeps insisting on arguing like a married couple (hence the hilarious posts by grizzly).
Like I said last year, don't start no shit won't be no shit.
Your so full of shit, you always take the high road. You started the name calling, why because I disagree with you. That is all it takes to set you off.

Opinions are never wrong so na na nu boo boo stick your head in doo doo, ya douche
Your always the instigator but never accept responsibility. Of course opinions can be wrong, do we have to bring up J. Webb again.
-
Money is a factor yes but Im saying it might not be the only thing.
His agent said this just a few days ago.
"We have recently reviewed the lawsuit, and do not believe the validity of the allegations made. We look forward to providing the true facts in court, and will defend this matter vigorously. We will seek and hold the Chill and other accountable for any and all damages Henry has suffered at the hands of multiple men who attacked him."
You don't think teams wanna do a bit more research?.
Nope, its ok to be wrong once in a while everybody is.

Per past conversations there was not much room to restructure Peppers deal. He only had 2 years remaining, 2014/15. The best that could have happened would have been him being cut and then signing with the Bears for that same deal. I would not have paid him $8.5mil for 2014.
Instead of Peppers for his $10mil in cap space this year we have:
Houston $5mil
Young $2.66mil
Tillman $3.5mil
Ok so that adds up to $11mil but it would not have happened without freeing up Peppers cap space so I'll take that 3 for 1 deal.
I think it's just an added bonus that Peppers has a $8.5mil cap hit for the Packers this year.
It hurts them from signing other people, cool.
-
You don't think things are a little different now that 3 months later Melton is the one being sued. I won't pretend to know what happened, nor do I care, but there's obviously a new wrinkle to the story now.
Could it just be the injury concerns?? Very possible, I can't discard that possibility. Nor can I discard the possibility that he's asking for too much money. And I'm not sure you can discard this new wrinkle to the story either.
A team will not care if someone is sueing a player, long as there isnt an arrest applied to the charges, the lawsuit doesnt mean anything. He AINT getting a contract because he wants more money.Its not brain surgery.
-
The bar incident got a new twist recently with the news they're trying to sue him. Before recently it was the other way around with Melton supposedly suing them.
Why does it matter if an incident all of a sudden has a lawsuit involved, it doesnt change what actions created the situation that occurred and that was in December.Teams already have the details checked out with that.
-
I didn't make it up, but I think it was made up by a fan perhaps??
Here's his website..... http://www.kimsmartialartsavon.com/about-u...kims-nfl-career .....If you go down to the "Grandmaster Kim in the media" section you'll find a lot of good articles on him.
One is titled Joe Kim "The Pass Rush Guru" is in town, but when you click on it it's from an SB Nation site. Still though they claim "He's an NFL consultant known as "The Pass Rush Guru"" so I guess he's the only guy not saying it.
I've read a few of those articles and I think dude is more than just a gimmick, I think he'll help.
Oh I think he will help big time, but not sure he deserves "the pass rush guru" label.

There isnt a lot left we can do in FAgency but some players I wouldnt mind seeing here.
QBs- Fritzpatrick-McCoy
RBs- MJD or Moreno
FB- Kuhn, just to gab it in GBs ass for Peppers
TEs-Keller or Daniels
OL-Brian La Puente
DE-Allen, not realistic but would love this, and move Houston inside on rush downs-Ayers---Phillips as a situational pass rusher
DT-Sims-Carrington-Peria
S-Clemons-we have numbers but no quality
Our own-Bowman and Britton
The rest of the way its about money but would be nice if we landed a couple of the better players left.
