    I hate Mizzou and I hate short QBs, but there is something about Chase Daniel

    He is athletic, but I doubt his heaight reaches 5'10. He does weigh a stout 225, but his drops are crazy. I saw him take 9 step drops two weeks ago. LOL

    Re: Revised 09 NFL Draft

    It would be a big mistake to not address OT in the first three rounds. It would be a HUGE mistake not to address OT or OG in the first three. Tait is looking like garbage. We took Miller back because we had to. St Clair isn't exactly young. Neither are Garza and Olin. We need 2-3 quality linemen in the next draft.

    Maclin i could see as a possible pick though I would rather see a linemen. SS? Why? Payne is developing well. Brown is still brown and I'm sure if he's healthy we resign him. Why even list McCoys speed? We need someone who can pass the ball. Not saying McCoy is bad but there's no need to list his 40 time.

    And seriously Pat White? What are we going to do with him? We don't need a kick returner because we already have 4-5(Wolfe, Vasher, Hester, Bennett, and Manning)We don't need a third down RB. You could put him at WR but how is he any better than what we already have?

    No offensive linemen picks until round 4 because the Bears have bigger fish to fry. And more importantly unless they just tank the season. There are only 3 1st round offensive tackles Michael Oher [top 5], Andre Smith top 10, posibly Eugene Monroe will be available at 15, but the Bears would have to go 7-9 to get him. And I don't see that happening... Detroit stinks, Minnesota has QB issues, and GB Qb Rodgers might be a health issue all season long. Opening the door for the Bears to go to the playoffs.


    Pat White [WR] is a dynamic playmaker with speed and elusiveness. It's true he would be better of going to the Broncos who draft a player, teach them what they want them to do and unleash them. Unlike the Bears who sit on them for 2 seasons then cut them or dont resign them. Pat White is 6'2 200 4.4 that is afraid to get hit.

    McCoy has no issue passing the ball I referenced the 40 time with his body change from a out of shape player to one that understands it takes more than slingin the ball to get ahead.

    Mike Brown is in the last year of his contract. Brandon McGowan is out for the year again. 3 years in a row. That's why they need a safety, the Bears have been filly farting around with this since Tony Parrish left. They never replaced him with a capable starter and that was 5 years ago.

    Re: Revised 09 NFL Draft

    If we went for a WR early, I think i'd rather have Heyward-Bey or Crabtree than Maclin or Harvin. We need someone with some size, we have too many small-ish guys already.

    Conference of One: The USC Trojans were well represented on the first day of the 2008 NFL Draft, with seven overall selections in the first 2 rounds. In comparison, the twelve teams from the SEC combined had just eight players drafted on day 1.

    A. 6'1" 199 is not good size. 6'4" 220 is good size.

    B. Chase Daniel plays QB, not WR.

    Bigger fish to fry??? Nah, gotta agree with beckdawg o-line is the priority. At wide receiver we have Lloyd looking okay, Hester developing and Bennett in development to take over from Booker as a possession receiver. Why then use a top pick on the hardest position to judge and learn, to further push the passing game on a rushing team.

    Draft Robinson in the first as he will be one of those once in a decade elite guards who will greatly aid Forte in the running game, then pick up a WR in the 2nd round like Iglesias, Byrd or even Robiskie if his stock continues to drop. Pick up a RT (such as Boone or Loadholt if you think they can switch from LT) & a safety with 2 of the next 3 picks & maybe a QB if we are moving Hanie from 3rd string (a drafted QB this year can't be relied on to be Orton's back up so needs to go in at 3rd string).

    Re: Revised 09 NFL Draft

    My mock is based on the Bears going 9-7 so they would have the 20 pick. The top 3 offensive linemen will be gone by that pick.

    6'4 220 wr that are successful in the NFL. I have one Randy Moss and it wasn't on his size...Randy could run like the wind blow when he came into the league.

    Jerry Rice, Chris Carter,..yeah not 6'4 220. TO is what 6'2 basically I think it matters more on beating the initial jam, having the footwork to get open, and securing the ball when its thrown to you.

    How did Gage and David Terrell workout?

    I like athletic QB's as they don't stand in the pocket when our offensive line breaks down and do things like jump backwards, as there not mobile become tagets within the pocket, and my favorite have the ability to run for a first down and keep drives alive. I like CHase Daniel as he reminds me of a stronger armed Flutie, with more size and muscle. I like tough guys..not pansies who have 5 turnovers in the SB.

    I have the bears in the 15-20 range as far as picks go. From the mocks I've seen most have it like this, Oher/Monroe(most have Oher higher) and then Smith. Draft Tek currently has us as the 20th pick which seems a bit high since Indy and NE are under us. But, it is realistic. As far as OT needs, they have these teams rated as a 1 or 2 for OT

    Chicago (1)
    Carolina (2)
    Dallas(2)
    Detroit(2)
    KC(2)
    Philly(2)

    If I had to go with my gut feeling, I'd say St. Louis at #1 with Oher(the supposedly wanted Jake Long the past draft). So that adds another in there. Dallas probably will be higher than us in the draft. Carolina and Philly maybe or will be around us in the very least. KC and Detroit should be under us. KC needs a QB as their top priority and should be in a position to select the first . Detroit is hard to say since we wont really know who's directing things for a bit. Its possible Smith, Oher and Monroe don't fall to us. Duke Robinson should or at least be close enough that we could move to get him. Seeing that we need both a G and a T at some point, I think that's where you look. The #3 T chosen or Robinson. That's assuming the a QB we love doesn't come around. Judging what I've seen so far in college this year, I just don't see that guy yet. If QB is not there and the G's/T's are gone, then i think you look at WR. But at the moment you're talking about having 3-4 of our top choices being gone which I don't know if will hapepn.

    I'd almost rather us trade down if we are stuck selecting a WR. To me its QB, T, G in the 1st or trade down and pick up additional picks(hopefully in 2009). If we were to trade down, I'd assume we'd grab low 1st or a high second plus like a third. I'd think low in the 1st or high in the 2nd you consider the best QB available. As is, we don't have enough out of the QB position to justify a top teir WR. If Orton develops into our guy then sure you consider the WR.


    Pat White [WR] is a dynamic playmaker with speed and elusiveness. It's true he would be better of going to the Broncos who draft a player, teach them what they want them to do and unleash them. Unlike the Bears who sit on them for 2 seasons then cut them or dont resign them. Pat White is 6'2 200 4.4 that is afraid to get hit.


    How many QBs have turned into quality WR? I'm talking like #1 or #2 WR. Ward was a QB at georgia I believe. He was decent. Randel el really has never been more than a #3/ST guy. Sennica Wallace is a back up QB. Brad Smith hardly plays. Kordell Stewart never made anything out of WR. I'm not saying Pat White is a bad player. But his role in my opinion would be like that of Randel El where he returns kicks and plays a little WR. We have a guy like that. It's hester.

    As for McCoy, if we have a late second round pick I wouldn't be too upset to see him picked at this point(or if he made it til the third round). I don't know that he is *the guy* but then I'm not really sold any any of the QBs in this draft as of yet.


    Mike Brown is in the last year of his contract. Brandon McGowan is out for the year again. 3 years in a row. That's why they need a safety, the Bears have been filly farting around with this since Tony Parrish left. They never replaced him with a capable starter and that was 5 years ago.


    We have very little to resign next season. So, if Brown stays healthy he's back. I don't disagree about McGowan. However, Brown and Payne are fine with me. I think what you're saying is that our 2ndary is weak. I think that too to an extent. But, I think it's mainly because of a lack of pass rush. If you think back to when tampa was really kicking butts with their tampa 2, they had Rice who was destroying QBs. Brown is decent but no Rice. Ogunleye is servicible maybe even ok but not a great pass rusher.

    I really like your picks alot, especially Colt McCoy but I think he'll likely stay in school. Hope not.

    Jeremy Maclin has been a game breaker since the 1st time he stepped on the field for Mizzou. Has big plays EVERY game! He's a very dynamic player like Hester but with more developed receiving skills.

    At #2 although I do like Patrick Chung I think we have a greater need for his teammate, C/OT Max Unger. He's been all Pac 10 as both a LT & and now center. Reportly has great strength and technique which according to his coaches allows him to play every position on the O-line very effectively. A talented & versatile O-lineman is worth his weight in gold in the NFL.

    Jason Smith currently looks like a good middle round sleeper pick.

    Pat White - the guy is an outstanding athlete but a big developemental project.

    Mike Brown is in the last year of his contract. Brandon McGowan is out for the year again. 3 years in a row. That's why they need a safety, the Bears have been filly farting around with this since Tony Parrish left. They never replaced him with a capable starter and that was 5 years ago.

    Bigger fish to fry??? Nah, gotta agree with beckdawg o-line is the priority. At wide receiver we have Lloyd looking okay, Hester developing and Bennett in development to take over from Booker as a possession receiver. Why then use a top pick on the hardest position to judge and learn, to further push the passing game on a rushing team.

    Draft Robinson in the first as he will be one of those once in a decade elite guards who will greatly aid Forte in the running game, then pick up a WR in the 2nd round like Iglesias, Byrd or even Robiskie if his stock continues to drop. Pick up a RT (such as Boone or Loadholt if you think they can switch from LT) & a safety with 2 of the next 3 picks & maybe a QB if we are moving Hanie from 3rd string (a drafted QB this year can't be relied on to be Orton's back up so needs to go in at 3rd string).



    You can't help but like Maclin as a speed guy, but don't you think we need a more complete WR that can handle both the posession and big play roles ? Maclin and Hester *should* be similar players in the pros, and we'd have a rather small lineup with Maclin, Hester, and Davis/LLoyd/whoever. Contrast that to a lineup with Heyward-Bey/Crabtree, plus Hester and you'd have a truly big receiver that can handle fades, catching the ball in traffic, going over the middle etc., plus another speedy guy in Hester.

    Conference of One: The USC Trojans were well represented on the first day of the 2008 NFL Draft, with seven overall selections in the first 2 rounds. In comparison, the twelve teams from the SEC combined had just eight players drafted on day 1.
