I would not give up Brown or Anderson in that scenario. If we are moving up, I would swap picks, give up next year's 2nd and this year's extra 3rd (from SD). There would probably need to be another swap in there to even things out.

Thanks!

True, but sometimes the favorites are not the better team. I picked the Chargers because I thought Indy was over-rated. I am actually surprised they won without Gates, LT, AND Rivers. Indy should've kicked that FG.

I got that, but how hard is it to pick every favorite?

Ah, I would rather see a complete list, not just by class.

Good job, but how many of those were actually a wild upset pick? Most of those were favorites anyway. I had the same picks except SD beating the Colts today.

Where is Ryan Clady?

http://frontier.cincinnati.com/blogs/benga...e-let-me-go.asp What would you give up to get him? His contract info:

Not bad, but no way the Bears go WR at #14. There will be more than one QB and one RB in the first 14 picks. Probably 2 and 2.

I think the guy needs to be a receiving threat who is still big enough to run between the tackles. The Bears need to be able to use the RB screen more. Can you believe our AP had 51 receptions to Benson's 17?

I think his 54 rushes for 144 yds in his final 4 games did him in. In comparison, our AP ran for 51 for 193 in his last 2 games.

Yeah, you are right, the expectations killed it. Good point.

James Harrison over Briggs? DeMeco Ryans over Urlacher? Those are some reaches there.

Hester was the only Bear to make it. Surprised some others didn't even make 2nd team honors. No Briggs or Harris. http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d8...mp;confirm=true

Walker and Miller cost too much vs their production. The ONLY way they are on the Bears next year is with a new contract. Also, I think Walker has a huge roster bonus coming up in March. We will know what happens to him by then. Also, we will know before the draft whether tags get applied.

SF fits his style better than the Bears. I could even see him taking over as HC if SF struggles.

I agree. He was not earning that much as a coach.

It is probably a good thing anyway. It would've cost the Bears too much.

I called that one.

Yep, zero compensation: The only benefit is the right to match the offer.

It is all about the Benjamins, or Carroll believes USC is going to decline soon. That way he goes out before all the scandals and penalties hit.

No reason stated. Kind of odd since it is one of Lovie's guys.
