ASHKUM BEAR Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Which way do the Bears look to rebuild as the offense keeps getting stronger and defense and ST keeps slipping. With a 3-3 record, which could be 5-0 as close as the losses were, the Bears weakness have been: DL, DB, OL. The defensive line has not been putting the kind of pressure on the QB as Lovies D requires. The depth behind often injured Nathan Vasher and Charles Tillman needs to be improved since these guys seem to find some time on the inj. list every year. At safety, Mike Brown has stayed healthy, but is he holding back to help insure another contract in the NFL. The Oline has been much better than thought, but they don't seem to have the push/power to win the trenches. Right now, I have the Bears selecting 17th with the 500 record: RD1 Pick 17 (trade with Washington Redskins for pick 24 and RD3 pick 88 and RD 4 pick 120) James Lauritis LB Ohio St. RD 1 Pick 24 Phil Loadholt OT Oklahoma - The Bears now have some key youth at the offensive skill positions with Orton, Forte, Hester, Olsen. The Oline is one of the oldest units in the NFL and JA looks to bulk it up. Loadholt is a big mauler for the Sooners and should be a nice addition to help improve the run game. RD 2 Pick 49 Herman Johnson OG LSU - Knowing the need for more talent on the D, JA knows having a run attack can help his defensive unit by controling the clock. Johnson is another talented lineman who excels with the run block. RD 3 Pick 81 Courtney Greene SS/FS Rutgers - The Bears just can't seem to find the right safety to work in there scheme. A healthy Mike Brown is what they look for, since they cannot turn back time, they keep selecting safeties to hopefully find the right combo. RD 3 Pick 88 (from WAS) - Matt Shaughnessy DE Wis - A tall quick DE that is a class act, the Bears are deep at DE, but need to find some youth to eventually take over for Adewale. RD 4 Pick 113 Pat White WR WV - White is an athletic QB that will make the transition like many other former athletic QB's. The Bears can use White on ST, gimmick plays, and emergency QB until he can make the conversion from QB to WR. RD 4 Pick 120 (from WAS) - Jorvorskie Lane FB Texas A&M - Best FB in the draft, 6-0 285 Lane can not only run the ball, he can open up lanes for Forte. RD 5 Pick 145 - Ramses Barden,WR Cal-Poly-SLO - Barden is 6-6 226 and runs 4.5. Plays for a small school, so he isn't very well known. RD 6 Pick 177 - Jonathan Casillas OLB Wis - One of the fasted linebackers in the draft, the Bears look to add depth and competition for Hunter Hillenmeyer RD 7 Pick 209 - Dwain Crawford CB/S Baylor - 6-0 200 4.44 speed, Baylor will be another small school secret for JA.

Ed Hochuli 3:16 Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 I'll post mine sometime during the week, but there's no way we go LB in the 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrizzlyBear Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 No way Pat White goes in round 4, He will be 2nd for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Hochuli 3:16 Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Wow, didn't even notice White. Personally, I'd puke if we took him. I don't trust the QB-to-WR conversion from league to league. I'd rather just take a WR, similar to Eddie Royal, who is small but is super quick and you can use him on WR screens, reverse kick returns, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASHKUM BEAR Posted October 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 I'll post mine sometime during the week, but there's no way we go LB in the 1st. Actually the whole trade thing is: Chicago Bears have the 17th pick Washington Redskins have the 24th pick. Washington wants a LBer really bad so they trade us the 24th along with the 3rd and 4th RD picks to move up. It works out on the trade value chart.
