his surgeries have not been recent, he just has lingering condition for the surgery of 2 years ago and 1 year ago. I think Pace has to judge whether it affects his career or not. Nobody is taking him off the board because of it, but some may move him down 10 spots on there ratings. I also think we need healthy going in players, but if you start eliminating everybody that has any injuries in college, it starts to limit who your going to choose.

I think the report of Arthritis is over blown and wont move him out of being the second best player in the draft. Doctors have reported that the problem will be a later in life problem not one for his career in the NFL. So he is back in play for our 3rd overall pick.

Last year we signed Trevathan on the first day and then a few days later we got Massie and Freeman. In this post i am only referring to new players not resigning our own. So on the first day I see us grabbing a up and coming player going into his second contract. Duron Harmon/FS-----------------6'1" 205 He has been a part time player that has been good when playing in the last two years. He has 4 int. I think we had eyes on him having practiced with NE last year in the preseason and fits Paces mold for players he goes after. I also think in the few days following we sign Logan Ryan/CB and jabaal Sheard. I think these two are versatile and ascending in there career. Logan Ryan is an up and coming CB that fits what Pace looks for. (26) Sheard has been productive in a backup role and gets a change to start opposite a combo of Floyd and McPhee. I tried to think out of the box with these picks instead of usually suspects. Chances of us grabbing 3 players from NE is slim but these are the type of players Pace will target.

I think its 60-40 he wont be back, but I do not think that is set in stone he wont be back.

We may want to think about Foster after he got kicked out of the combine. Immature hothead

You really think he will work for low bucks?

There clearing a bunch of cap space, that may single a trade for Cutler.

Would you give a third round pick for Sheldon Rickardson? I hear Jets trying to trade him.

Here is a draft I just did, the first time I went over 10000. I actually like the draft too Your score is: 12384 (GRADE: A) Your Picks: Round 1 Pick 8 (CAR): Solomon Thomas, DE, Stanford (A+) Round 2 Pick 4: Garett Bolles, OT, Utah (A-) Round 2 Pick 11 (PHI): Obi Melifonwu, SS, Connecticut ( Round 3 Pick 3: Patrick Mahomes II, QB, Texas Tech (A) Round 3 Pick 8 (CAR): Adoree' Jackson, CB, Southern California (A+) Round 3 Pick 10 (PHI): Zay Jones, WR, East Carolina (B+) Round 4 Pick 6 (LAC): Jaleel Johnson, DT, Iowa (A+) Round 4 Pick 10: Jordan Leggett, TE, Clemson (B+) Round 5 Pick 3: Carlos Henderson, WR, Louisiana Tech © Round 6 Pick 6 (LAC): Ben Boulware, ILB, Clemson (D) Round 7 Pick 3: T.J. Logan, RB, North Carolina © At the end of the draft I could have picked higher valued players but took people I liked.

I see the first trade with Cleveland but what was the second trade? Indy moved down to spots and gave up a 2nd and 3rd?

Does anybody think NE will pursue the mouth?

Don't be surprised if we go after John Simon/OLB/Houston or Datone Jones/DE from GB. I see us adding to some potential pass rushers here.

Chalk him off the list, now were down to Adams, Hooker or Thomas/DE

The Bears are the most tight lipped group other than NE in the league. Anything you hear are writers throwing there opinions around like its new secrets. Lets wait and see what's up next week.

Last year is a blue print of what Pace does in FAgency. His first year he hadnt evaluationed the team yet and still had the previous regimes scouts in place. Last year he was in full control. Trevathan 4 years 24.5 Freeman 3 year 12 Hicks 2 year 10 Sitton 3 year 21 Massie 3 year 18 Freeman and Sitton are 30 years old but were upscale players, the rest are young and ascending. So I think this is what he will continue to do. Probably will get two higher end players. People in this category are : 8- 12 mil. Jefferson/SS Bouye/CB Gilmore/CB Trumine Johnson/CB Campbell/DE Okrung/OT I also think we grab several middle tier types: 7 to 10 Duron Harper/FS Logan Ryan/CB Jabbal Shear/ EDGE Stills/WR DJ Swearinger/S Reiff/OT Johnathan Hawkings/DT Cyphein/SS Beachum/OT Doyle/TE So I predict we grab Gilmore/CB Beachum/OT Doyle/TE Harper/FS Hawkings/DT Stills/WR

That may be an option but this is a team on the rebuild, I honestly dont think there planning on being good next year. I think they need one more year.There is simply no good options at QB this year period. I like Jimmy G but he wont be available.

I think we will be better than people think but they have a long way to go to be 8-8. They to hit on a QB to at least play average. Hoyer could be desired by other teams, so he could be not here. Barkley wont get us to 8-8, and we dont know about Shaw.

How about Nick Foles, he is scheduled to earn 6.75 mil this year and they cant afford him. (KC)

If Romo goes there, there not going to get rid of Siemian. Romo has a history of injuries and then all there left with is Lynch which couldnt get on the field last year. He is cheap and already part of the system, if there seriously trying to get to the Super Bowl again, absolutely no reason to get rid of him.

I like that it looks like doom and gloom, but it will take everyone being healthy and to hit on at least 4 draft picks as starters this year. Add 4 starters through FAgency

i would have no problem with that, but hard to say if that translates into 8-8.

Since we now know more information, my new want list is: Tony Jefferson/SS He has played well and will receive a big pay day. Stephen Gilmore/CB I think he is more of a play maker than most of the other FAs. Calais Campbell/5T I prefered Short but got tagged. he will command a big contract. Jack Doyle/TE Hes has a history with our new WR coach that may bring him here. He is an excellent blocker which we need at TE. Russel Okrung The best LT available and still 28 (Kelvin Beachum is not as good a player but would be a upgrade over Leno and cost less) I figure we wont be getting Jeffery to stay home so we now add a WR to our list of needs. draft: still need a FS-CB - edge rusher- QB prospect 1) trade back to 12 and get extra picks from Cleveland 2nd and 3rd rounders 1-12 Kizer/QB 2a Buddy Baker/FS 2b Gareon Conley/CB 3a Zay Jones/WR 3b Derek Rivers/OLB 4a Carlos Henderson/WR 4b Julian Davenport/OT 5 Josh Tupou/DT 7 Zane Gonzales/K

I think the problem is this regime is going to have to start showing results in wins this year and do not have a QB in place. To take a chance on a rookie high that will start is the opposite side of trying to win this year so this makes sense. We can still draft a prospect and trade for McCarrin and may be able to finish 8-8 this year and would save Foxys job.

Berry gone signed. Franchise tags: Ingram Cousins Short Jason P P Chandler Jones

He is not worth it but if we get a QB prospect you have to give him something to work with.
