adam Posted 21 hours ago Report Share Posted 21 hours ago The Bears came into today with starter needs at LT, DT, Edge, LB, and 2x Safety. At worst, they addressed LB and one Safety, have placeholders in at LT and DT, leaving Edge and the other Safety spots left to address. It feels like DT and Edge will be addressed in 2 of the top 3 picks. Safety by the 4th round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Brisker doesn't get any offers, you think they bring him back for cheap one year deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted 20 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 20 hours ago I keep hearing Dayo is working towards being back at training camp. For better or for worse, he's one of the DL positional players. Haven't heard anything about Turner but both could be figured in their plans.

Stinger226 Posted 20 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 20 hours ago As I look at this list, none of the pundits predicted any of our signing except Braxton coming back. So much for inside information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DABEARSDABOMB Posted 20 hours ago Report Share Posted 20 hours ago I think Brisker will be back and DB is a huge position of need still. But overall pretty please with today’s outcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as the fans dislike Dayo, the Bears think and feel different about him. I think we will have a better idea on DAs defense once he has his players. His scheme relies a lot on the back 7 for confusing and attacking the QB. Devin Bush becomes one of those threats at Will and I wouldnt be shocked to see the Bears draft a Mike round 2 like Josiah Trotter or Jacob Rodriguez since a strong Mike helped Bush elevate his game this last season and Edward's may never be the same.

I’d be fine if they’re going best available in the 2nd Rd and that turns out to be a good LB. Bears = LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ54 Posted 17 hours ago Report Share Posted 17 hours ago After some time to digest our signings I’m happy overall. The D got better up the middle, and younger and faster. Bush can hunt around the LOS so no more watching LB waiting for the ball to come to them. Demarco Jackson showed some of that as well once he settled in. It’s Edward’s best trait too. Gallimore is a backup but what I’ve seen of him he’s much better than Billings. We need a stud at DT to push everyone down one spot on the depth chart and this rotation will be better. Re-signing Braxton wasn’t a shock to me but it’s disappointing we’re not adding Decker. On the flip side they’ve been watching him rehab and know better than I do how he was progressing before the season ended. I’m glad we didn’t spend big on DE. I like Sweat and Booker as part of a rotation. Booker needs snaps to continue to progress. I’d be ok if we added Cam Jordan on a team friendly deal then a good rookie prospect in the first or second round. I also wouldn’t mind if they brought back Joe Tryon Shoyinka, maybe they’re waiting on Cam first? Seeing DomRob get $4mil on 1 Year deal was surprising. JoeT should be able to get more.

For a cheap add joe Tryon has some game. I suspect with all the money thrown around they address the DL spots in the draft. Turner and Dayo will be back and as much as they didn't contribute last year, they will count them in the mix. Dayo at 3T and Turner at DE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASHKUM BEAR Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Nashon Wright signed a deal with NYJ. 1 yr, 5.5 million. Bears could have afforded him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearFan PHX Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago I think the Bears saw what we saw - a bunch of interceptions, but a lot of blown coverages too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DABEARSDABOMB Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Yep - perfectly good with this move. Same with CJGJ - no desire to bring him back either. Both were very flawed players, but I do appreciate the big plays Wright made. Also - just seeing the deal he got, shows you the league saw the same thing on tape. I do wish Wright all the best though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very frustrating when you know a defensive series only ends one of two ways: they score or we get a turnover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plays CB, S, and Nickle Positives are what you listed, that he may replace both Wright and Owens and that he will work with Al Harris. Negatives are that he doesn’t ’fit the mold that Harris and Allen like’ and that he’s not been selected to a Pro Bowl (like Wright was)….for whatever that’s worth.
