I will admit, that I was kind of bummed not to see a QB drafted while I sat in front of the TV. But thinking back I am glad we didn't get one. Let me retract that I'm glad we didn't get one after the first round, although I would've liked to see one in the later rounds. However... I didn't want Henne, and I'm not convinced about Brohm. Once Flacco was off the board (which I figured he would be before we had a real shot of taking him) I pretty much resigned to to not grabbing a QB this draft. Well a top QB. I felt that this QB group just wasn't up to par with the last couple of drafts. And I would rather have a high round Third stringer (face it, if we are plugging them in for any extended period of time, the season is already lost) than pay good money for a QB that apparently we didn't feel very high upon in the first place. Like I stated in another thread, I believe the course should be to give Orton/Grossman their chance this year, and in the event that they both don't pan out (at least don't pan out to starter martial) then we should trade our first pick next year for Brady Quinn (assuming Derek Anderson has another good year). That way instead of investing in a first round QB that will take time to develope, we get a guy who has sat a couple of years and should be ready to step out on the field. And furthermore he will have had two years with a QB coach that doesn't work for the bears. i think in the end if that plays out it will be win-win-win.

I think that they should grab someone with a 7th then if Grossman/Orton bomb again this year and Derek Anderson has a solid year again, trade the first round pick next year for Brady Quinn

I saw Jared from the subway commercials at Mongolian Barbeque in Indianapolis last year. He isn't thin anymore.

"[The Bears'] offense was very similar to what we ran here with inside and outside zone plays and with [isolation] plays,'' Forte said of his film and playbook session with Spencer. What go three and out and hope the defense gets a takeaway in field goal range?

i think the choice of mendenhall is good option is all first round tackle prospects are off the board. there is no use spending the 14th pick on 2nd round talent.. thats also saying there are no trade suitors either. at least no good trade suitors

The way I see it, last year the bears were attempting to make a trade with Washington, but before a trade could be completed the Redskins would need to have a contract agreement with Briggs otherwise it would essentially be trading the tag or a player with no contract. But if the 9ers were in contact with Briggs or Rosenhaus then they could've been driving the price Briggs was willing to accept up for the skins. Because he could essentially say he knows he is worth more than the are offerring. Then if the skins couldn't get a deal worked out the trade couldn't go through and the 9ers either could make a trade offer or just hope to pick Briggs up after the season since he will already know what to expect from them in terms of contract.

Call me crazy, but I do believe the Bears had one of the hardest schedules if not the hardest schedule last year. And they were in every game just about. With the injuries that occured and strength of schedule, I'm willing to be lenient on my criticism.

not his fault? i guess i can understand. when the ball hits you in the bread basket and you are all alone practically in the endzone, and you drop it... obviously it was a poorly thrown ball. Well I think its safe to say that Berrian probably took a step backwards towards a pro bowl season... thats not to say signing with chicago wouldn't have meritted a similar result though. It was all about dollars.

Didn't Faneca sign with the Jets already? Or is it the Absinthe that is clouding my thoughts?

i can't imgaine anyone willing to trade for benson with the RB stock this year. You could get a potential starter in the 3rd round or trade for Benson, a high priced RB without a 1000 yard season or a season without some sort of injury. maybe matt millen would be dumb enough to make that trade

mcfadden's 40 time was 4.33

i was giving it some thought the other day and i tried to come up with all the teams that would possibly go after rex and he would be given a chance to earn the starting spot. those teams i came up with? Atlanta, Miami, and the Jets.

Look at the Giants. They are full of pass rushing DEs. I don't think we should give up any of them unless an offer comes that is too good to pass. Plus as it was previously stated Ogun is getting on in years. I'd rather have a known commodity fill his shoes when he decides to hang it up than an unknown.

The problem with juicing him up and moving him to LB is that they need to tackle to be effective.

Brett Farve vs Tom Brady? I'm sorry, but how can I not root for Farve. It didn't matter if it was a guy who punched me in the face and stole my girl in highschool who was the QB against Brady, I'd still root for him. I have to say, that game was just about par with the Bears winning the super bowl in general. Now if it had been Chicago that ended the perfect season in the SB i think i could've died happy

Did anyone hear the stat that the majority of teams with a "superstar" receiver never make the playoffs? There were only 2 teams with a top 10 receiver in the playoffs this year. And apparently its a trend that has been coming up more often than not. I vote no go on 85

I believe that the best player available at that draft spot should be taken. No matter what. Now if the best player available happens to be an O-lineman then by all means go for it. Or QB or RB or Safety. I would hate to see the bears pick some guy who is worhty of a mid twenty spot at best at 14, and then pay him 14 money. If the guy you want isn't the best player when your number comes up, then trade down to when you think he will be the best player available and try to get something else in the deal. Just look at Miami last year. Ted Ginn was not a top 10 pick. If they wanted him so bad they could've traded down a couple of spots and still gotten him. But now they are paying him top 10 pick money and I don't think he is worth it yet.

I would really like to get him
