DABEARSDABOMB

I'm installing direct tv in the morning after a million years of cable. Cable finally pissed me off (I have been an avid cable supporter for years) and in this economy I'm getting a lot of money up front to switch ($350 from DirecTV and than another 175 from ATT). And than my monthly services are also significantly cheaper. Only crappy part was that I have a few HD TV's so I had some upfront costs associated with that, but with the amount I'll save I'm going to buy me NFL Sunday Ticket SuperFan and put my buddies in charge of food and drinks every Sunday at my place. So if all goes well, I'll be watching the draft at my house for a bit before going to a draft party at another persons house. But most importantly, I'll be getting set up to watch all my Bears games and Sox games in HD.

Get Johnson and Wallace in the next round and I'd be thrilled. Both could bust out, but you could be getting two impact players at need positions.

I'd love a FS or DE and than Wallace at 99. This Wallace guy has the potential to be special. Sure he also has the potnetial to be a bust, but he could be one of those guys that turns into a hell of a player.

I would rather have a young LB like Lauranatis plus Bolden than Urlacher and Boldin. Financially its smarter, age wise its smarter, etc. However, I do see your point.

Cutler is the franchise guy now. Getting him Boldin benefits him and if it allows you to hold onto your 2nd round draft pick you do it, imo. Boldin >>> Urlacher to the Bears for the next 5 years. If in fact you blame the scheme for Urlachers struggles than I ask you, is the scheme changing? Lovie is running the same defense Babich did. The play calling will be different but the scheme, very much the same. Urlacher is slower, less strong, etc, and as a guy who fundementally was never the greatest linebacker (ie, he relied heavily on his pure athletism), the writing is on the wall that he won't be that productive player in his thirties, imo.

I stil think you start the package at Urlacher and a lower round pick and than use your 2nd rounder on a LB. This is a deep LB draft and I like the Bears depth at the position. Plus our window was extended when we got Cutler so moving a guy like Urlacher whose at the tail end of his career flat out makes sense.

It goes back to my belief that the Bears might trade down. I like this guys measurables and given that there really isn't a sure thing out there and that all of the guys available have potential flaws getting an extra pick plus a guy that has awesome measurables could be the right plan. Plus having a guy like Cutler can really help get the most out of someone with good measurables.

I want Hakeem Nicks but if we can't get him I'm getting on board the Mohamed movement. However, I just don't see how a team could telegraph a pick so much so I have serious doubt that he's actually our target. Heck for all we know its a smoke screen to prevent a team from moving up and taking a different position player we'd prefer.

They have another first and the top 2nd pick in the draft where they could address Oline twice. The Lions are in a pretty good spot in terms of rebuilding. It would just be a bit easier if there was a more sure thing at the top, but as we've all learned there is no sure thing when it comes to first round QB's. I do think the Lions are making the right choice. I prefer the west coast offense and thats why I like Sanchez, but Stafford is a good choice to be a potential face of the franchise.

Why would JA telegraph a WR so much. I'm thinking there is another WR they really want and they are doing a hell of a smokescreen, imo.

Man, that isn't that much money. I'm really dissapointed we didn't sign him.

I really want Holt, practially at any financial cost too.

I'm cheap and just wear my jerseys on Sundays with a long sleeve shirt underneath so I just got the replica. Never had any issues and rarely if ever wash them (maybe they smell though, LOL), so they stay in tremendous shape.

I got my Cutler jersey in the mail today...woot woot. White Road one.

Thanks Bri....Nicks is who I'd have taken. Sorry guys, got caught up at work.

Oh and the heck with a schedule, super bowl teams find ways to win, tough schedule or not. Bears want this, they'll have to show up for each and every game, which is something they haven't exactly done the past couple years.

We have a weak schedule, but the start could be rough, just given where we play. Seattle is better than they were a year ago and the first three games will be tough. Any game in GB is tough, any game against defending SB champs is tough, and a game all the way out in Seattle will surely be tough (especially for an oline that will likely still be gelling).

Shit, I'm happy that he's bonding with his mates. Just don't be an idiot, have someone else drive for you.

I'll be checking in later today, since I should eventually be on the clock. Currently the Eagles and Ashkum are on the clock.

I don't mind Kipers latest 4 round mock. Bears nab the Clemson safety in the 3rd round and the Georgia wideout in the 2nd (Ideally we'd trade down and grab the Georgia wideout though).

Awesome, I'm planning on going to the San Francisco game and possibly the Atlanta game. Didn't they already say the GB opening day game is the Sunday night game?

We got the exact same jerseys and used the 15%. Accts know how to do it, haha. You going to go up to the San Fran game?

If the top Wr's are off the board and the Bears have already signed a wide-out, than I would like them to move down in the 2nd round, potentially into the beginning of the 3rd round where they could than take the Georgia WR (I really really like him) and than grab a FS with the next pick or have the ammo to move up from the 4th round into the 3rd to than select WR/FS/Oline in any sort of order with 3 3rd round picks.

In Tanks defense, he seems to have cleaned up his act and I really hope he has. I also think the Bears making a statement probably helped Tank grow up as a man because it was probably one of the first times in his life he was actually punished for his actions.
