February 3, 200818 yr comment_30369 My guess is most teams are in a similar position to the Bears: We'd LOVE to have Phillips at #14, but there are too many other more important positions to fill. It's much easier to find a top safety then a top Offensive tackle. Not to mention, OT's cost one helluva a lot more on the open market. Two of the highest paid players on the Bear's roster are Tait & Fred Miller. I'm guessing the Bears will draft a safety with one of the two 3rd round picks. Well I can say one thing- if Phillips is still there in round 2 when we choose again, and we don't take him, JA should be fired on the spot. Period. Report

OMG, if we drafted a stud OLT in the 1st and K Phillips fell to us in the 2nd I would be going out of my mind!! I just do not think Phillips will last past the 1st half of round 1. Report
February 3, 200818 yr comment_30387 Todd McShay sucks... I guess he's supposed to be the next Mel Kiper, but how the hell does he have any credibility. Truthfully, I think I know more (or at least as much) about the draft than he does, and he gets paid to strictly follow it all year. Report

I just do not think Phillips will last past the 1st half of round 1. Stranger things have happened. I know I was shocked as hell when Tommie Harris dropped to us, and I was going out of my mind last year when Greg Olsen dropped to us. Those are two huge examples of why you NEVER trade up. Either way I hope we can do something to address the safety situation. Does anybody have confidence that Danieal Manning can be better then mediocre? McGowan's not much better. Maybe Kevin Payne can do something but I'm not counting on it. Maybe this will FINALLY be the year Mike Brown stays healthy. (I know there's speculation we'll dump him, but it's not like we have a better option.) Report

Somebody has to know about the sucky guys at the bottom of the draft that nobody cares about Report
