April 17, 201411 yr comment_134060 For a 6th rounder? sure. Would Trestman though? I'm not so sure. He brought up pass blocking being a key in their search for a #2 back, and from the reports I've seen he's a terrible pass blocker. Report
April 17, 201411 yr comment_134062 Sure. But I'd rather pick up a rookie bruiser. I think we have speed in Ford potentially. I want the battering ram... http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap200000034...ers-trade-block I'd send the Niners a 6th rd pick for him. That dude was/is fast as hell. Great change of pace. Report
April 18, 201411 yr comment_134071 I do want to add a speed element to our offense but in terms of a backup RB we need someone more versatile, a true 3-down player, to take reps off Forte and help extend his career. Report

I dont think we will be getting rid of any of our picks. In a later round they will grab a RB more to there liking. Report

April 19, 201411 yr comment_134086 Ford in college for comparison to highlights of this year's RBs. http://draftbreakdown.com/video/michael-fo...-carolina-2012/ I see a guy with speed but not a lot of lateral quickness and agility to make that quick cut to get to open space. Not much different than what he showed us as a Bear IMO. That lack of lateral quickness could also hinder him in pass protection when he has to make last second adjustments. I certainly hope to be wrong. I think he'll compete for 2nd RB but he needs some good competition and I hope we find someone that beats him out for the job because that means we're that much better. Plus we've heard nothing from the team regarding confidence in Ford. That doesn't mean anything at all because it is draft time and smokescreens are everywhere. As bad as Michael Bush was last year there was plenty of opportunity for Ford to make a statement. Report

I wish every player on the Bears to be the bomb, but we all know they wont be. So let the games begin and load up on prospects. Report
