What we are doing is taking cheap risks with who we pick up. That is find, some will work out and most wont, but we can not freak up taking chances with the OL. Focus on a couple of upgrades on the line and just get them. I would like Light/NE/OT for a stop gap at LT until our tackles are ready, and grab a Blaylock, Bell, maybe even a Nicks. You have to look at it this way, with all these inexpensive signings, maybe we can pay a big salary to a OL to get in here.

If you look at what people get for players , you will realize getting a 3rd round pick is very good for someone like Olsen.

He may have more talent to work with that Harris, Gilbert, Harrison and Adams. I am still up in air about him but how good a coach he is , but taking a chance on Gholstein is a no brainer.

Cullen Jenkins is still there, and 50 of the top 80 FAs are still out there. There are lots of decent football players being released. I think we sign Kreutz and Jenkins and grab a couple of OLs and we could be vastly improved. Also we need a CB.

Maybe he can fill an SLB role for us. Not bad, but never lived up to expectations.

Vernon Gholsten is going to become a Bear. >? You think Marinelli can make something out of chopped liver? He might have been out of place with OLB position in New York. It is worth a look.

We will know today how seriouse the Bears are on the o-line. Plenty of still good football players out there. We need to hold judgement till the next few days have passed.

we have to sign roach, adams and kreutz. then we need a tackle and guard. A DT and cornerback. A good wr,BUT.none will be big name signing. So forget Nicks, Joseph, Edwards,ect. We can at least hope they get quality, even after the big names have signed. Williams may turn out to be something considering he is close to Drake. Maybe he can turn him around.

this was the final year of his contract and someone else would have paid him more next year anyway, so we did ok with what he would have given us this year.

Kreutz needs to come back because he is the team leader. He play is not great anymore but is better than our other choices right now. Let him train Linnerholm and get all the new players in some form of continuity. He is our best choice for this year. I think we will pick up a guard and another tackle. He needs to help get everybody on the same page.

he would be a great pickup, but he is not suppose to ready to until later in season

it ended up just being a 3rd round pick

This move does not bother me, he was just a player. He wasnt special. They made you think he was because of our lack of receivers, but soft, not a good blocker, and had some moments , but just as many bad moments. Clark is a FA so all we have it Davis, Spaeth, and some UDFAs. No big deal.

Since the Bears arent going to make much of a big splash in FAgency, here my list to upgrade the roster. Dahl/OG-Atl Nasty attitude bodes well for our OL Light/OT-NE Older but could be a bridge to Carmi or Webb on left side . A two year deal Mebane/DT-Sea Ruskin knows well, has big upside Sims-Walker/WR/Jag bottom end of first tier WRs, could be big upgrade over current crop of wideouts Anderson/LB-Car starting to come into his own and still young Marshall/CB-Car He has good stats and can start on this team None of the above will come cheap but none will cost big money. Light is the only one with age. Mebane signing allows Melton to slide to end and give the outside some speed.

I think we need a speed rusher to complement Peppers. If he comes at a moderate price , it will upgrade that position. Give him a contract with incentives and see what he has. He doesnt deserve a big payday.

I have seen some rate him as the 2nd best center prospect. I think he can make the roster and in two years be the starting center. He by ProFootballWeekly had him a potenial 4 th rounder and starter down the road. With Tice I think that is completely possible.

I am in and saturday works for me(evening) the money league

Hopefully we get a OT that can eventually play OG after Carmi and Webb is ready. I think we also get a inexpensive OG something on the order of a Ruben Brown. The only big splash we make is Cullen Jenkins. A CB and WR, but no big names. I think Brad Smith is a possiblity. He wont be expensive and can run the wildcat. Not my first choice but could be intriuging with Martz. Hopefully they can get Marshall/CB/Carolina, a descent player. They will resign Krutez and Adams, and a couple of our LBs. Meaning Roach will be our SLB.

I think they will pursue a OL and WR but it wont be expensive additions. Jenkins wont come cheap and it leaves very little to spend on other positions.

Ive been in South America for the last two weeks so havent been able to comment. I like the Latina. I think we could have addressed a more pressing need at this spot but now that he is here. Look at the potenial. I think we drafted him that high is because a 15 year nfl coach Penergrass sees a potenially blue chip safety out of position in college. I dont know much about him but will have to rely on his opinion as the Bears did. I would say a boom or bust selection with a possible of being a blue chipper. Maylock liked him and Im am finding he is pretty accurate with his opinions. Lets hope they scored with the risk as a third round pick.

the only reason I seleted Lutui was he is coming from a shithole, he didnt play well last year but had an excelent year the year before. There were better choices coming from good teams which mean a bidding war with his team to get them. Lutui will come cheaper. I agree we need a WR and we have several choices to go after. I dont think were going to lay big money. So less expensive wideouts like Floyd/sd, Jones/gb, or Jones/Hou. I think we sign one fairly good contract and several less expensive.

The draft got us 2 really good players, the last 3 are a head scatcher. My suggestions for FA's. There is rumors of going after Cullen Jenkins, of which we will spend alot for. a good move Also I think we will go after a OG of which we wont spend alot on, so I am throwing in the name Duece Lutui. big guy and mean. Also Richard Mashall/CB/from carolina- didnt get a long term extention, and with being friends with Peppers, maybe we get him here. Wont be expensive

the first two picks were great, so I will have to give them some slack. there were other people there seeming would have helped more. we will see

Quit being so negitive, this is the first draft in a long time we actually got people that can play from day 1. I do like the idea of Little, hope he is there in the 3rd.

finally something you said that makes sense.
