Here is my shot at a post FAgency draft. I did the Fanspeak thing but injected a trade. we trade down with SF our first for an extra 2nd,3rd and 7th. 1st-Calvin Pryor/FS- because we need to upgrade the position. 2nd a-Stephen Tuitt/DT-DE- big and versatile in Emery's wheelhouse 2nd b-Stanley Jean-Baptiste/CB- a big CB to develop 3rd a- Christan Jones/MLB- good valve here in a need position 3rd b-Jimmy Garoppolo/QB- good prospect 4th- C.J. Fiedorowicz/TE- we add a backup for two TE sets 5th-DE'Anthony Thomas/RB- speed to a backup RB and a slot WR 6th-Russle Bodine.OC- someone to groom for Garza job 6ht-Marques Huff/-S- speed and productive player 7th-Ricardo Allen/CB- added depth

I agree we need to add a WR but not that high. The first two are a must, but Thomas can be a backup RB and also play a slot WR so I think he can fill two roles.

I like your names but think we need to grab a S higher to get a starter, dont think a 4th or 6th will end up starting and we need the upgrade.Baily was there when you took Swanson and I would have did that. I think he is underrated.

Anytime the Bears do something he will have something to say, we just react to stories because that is what blogs do. Your right,people say they dont want to talk about it and then make a comment. For me, he's a tool and anytime I can call him out I do.

This is the third year and hopefully he becomes a productive player, if not, so far Emery has hit one and missed one. I like the other things he has done. Jeffery is a stud, I think Bostic will be a very good player, but what he has done in FAgency has been quite amazing IMO. He sees what we see and goes out and addresses it. Time will tell if he was right on all of this but he definitely needs to hit on at least 3 picks this year but of course we may not know that until a few years from now.

He doesnt have the length but think the rest applies to him. Everybody thinks we will draft him if available, of which I would want but me think Emery will have a surprise for us. Maybe the surprise this time is -he takes who we thing he will draft.

I think Truitt and Hageman fit that big long athletic players he covets. I think Donald would be a good choice but think Emery will surprise us probably by moving down and grabbing one of those two.

Your so right, we threw darts at the position and will come out smelling like a good team because of it.

This is an article that suggests what Emery might do in the draft. His traits he looks for. I think Hageman also fits that mold. http://nflmocks.com/2014/03/29/chicago-bea...icks-nfl-draft/

There are going to be a lot of bodies gone at DE, I hope someone steps up and surprises us. You have Allen,Young, and Houston. I assume Bass takes the next step, and suspect if no one shakes out, we have Izzy playing the end/tackle spot left.

What he is doing is taking shots at the Bears every chance he gets. When his name pops up, there is always a reaction. It will come up again when he wishes to take a shot. What a whiny little bitch.

Lovie is gone so maybe he would be willings to come back. I think he has gas in the tank.

Matt is a smart guy, but many have stated the obvious that we did well in the DEs we have brought in.

Apparently he is not the only one with some thing to say about it, you addressed it.

Jacoby Jones is not a FA.

I think in a Trestman offense he will add any weapon to the arsenal and make it work. You can throw quick passes to a fast guy as well as a tall guy.

The Texans signed Clemons so I would say D. Manning will be getting cut. Any takers for a 31 year old Manning?

I have a tendency to agree with you on that.

In a Trestman offense I guarantee you they would design plays for him. Trestman uses the talent he has and is not defined by a specific system. Give him players and he will make it work.

IMO I think they think MLB is a need position. Williams is just a one and done. Bostic is being groomed to take over Briggs spot, a highly important spot in our defense. Briggs is a good football player but think he is a tool I would have no problem if they moved on with out him. I think Bostic will be a good player just dont see it at MLB.

His price will be to high, enough said.

First of all Emery and Trestman didnt ride his career, they owe him no loyalty. The Bears paid him and Hester both well, so the fact they bitched about the money made them the ones lacking loyalty. They were right about Urlacher, wasnt a very good player at the end of his career. The rest of the league agreed with them, no one offered him a contract. Football teams are like whore houses , they will take every ounce of worth out of you and when your not worth it , throw you out on the street. His time was over, and its as simple as that . We cant go back and say shoulda, coulda, woulda because he didnt play again. I think Hester will prove to be not worth what Atlanta paid for him, but they will play itself out. I have no problem letting go of old players, loved them when they played but realism always wins out, they get old, and this is not an old mans game.

They didnt bring Williams back to be a backup. We need depth at the position and right now he is penciled in as the starter. That could change going forward, but I think the possibility exists we draft a MLB in one of the early rounds whether you like it or not.If he thinks Mosely is an impact player and we move back he would be a good valve in the end of the first round.

I think not only a starter but an impact player is needed. Whether that be Donald, HaHa, or Gilbert, its only our opinions Emery has proved he doesnt draft according to popular opinion. I think he could suprise us with a Fuller/CB, Ward/FS or a Hageman/DT. Chances are we are surprised again this year.

There is nothing defined on it, and probably wont come in to play, but he was injured in Oct and it hasnt completely healed yet. 6 months is a long time to have an injury linger, definitely something to monitor going forward. He was cleared to come back when he played the last few games. He played like shit, thats not the Briggs we want on the field.
