That was happening very early last season when players noted the Green Bay Packers going to nickel personnel on offense, forcing the Bears to react with nickel defensive personnel" http://www.csnchicago.com/chicago-bears/nf...ars-plans-no-11 So he didn't mean 4-3, he meant 4 man front, which is true. We don't have 4 LBs on the field even half the time. Report

March 21, 20178 yr comment_163296 Just turned on NFL Network and one of the guys on the show was projecting Solomon Thomas going #2 to San Francisco. I say this only in that it surprises me how much this guy is gaining speed in the pre-draft process. Now, it seems instead of the majority of the sites predicting the Bears picking DL Jonathan Adams they are predicting Safety Jamal Adams as our selection. I see this as a strong draft for many of our needs so I am still hoping for a trade back, getting some additional picks. Report

The more I read on Adams the more I think he'd also be a great addition to the team. Decent cover skills, solid hitter and tackler and great field general. Similar to Brown without the injury history? http://www.nfl.com/draft/2017/profiles/jam...dams?id=2557979 Report

Other than Garrett, who won't be there at #3, I still don't see the player who teams will trade up for. For every player we're talking about there is a counterpart right behind them that is a very good consolation prize and they'll get to keep their 2nd Rd pick. Adams/Hooker Allen/Thomas Foster/Reddick Report
March 21, 20178 yr comment_163301 Teams will be moving for Fournette. That's our only hope. http://www.scout.com/nfl/bears/story/17643...-mock-draft-v20 here is a mock by Aaron Fleming , I would like this draft Report
