We have free agents added and soon will add several draftees to the team, but I think one thing we have over looked the the potenial of 2nd year players taking giant steps forward. with the injuries to Goldman in his two first years , a healthy year will add a lot to he strength of the DL. Hicks was a stud on the DL last year and he probably takes a step back but Bullard did not contribute anything his first year. I think this year we see him add bulk ,strength and a lot more contribution to the team. No one has ever said he is not a hard worker and his love of football will put him in the position to take a large step forward. In the D backfield, Hall was injured much of the time and Bush gave us little of nothing. I can see both taking a step forward in their development, which adds much in our progress of a better defense. Fangio and Donatai are both good teachers and it will show this year. Floyd has flashed moments of why he was drafted so high. This year he will add bulk and functional strength that will add more stability in his play. With losing Jeffery we view our WR corp as a weakness but lets not forget we have a #1 already on the roster in White. Hoping he stays healthy, he could take a giant step forward. When mourning the lost of Jeffery, lets not forget, he was very average the last two years. I can see Meredith continuing to get better especially with the emergance of White, and we will not take long to move on from Jeffery. Miller is a player that should have limited snaps to keep him healthier and be able to contribute all year. I can see Brown turning into a legitimate NFL player with a step up in snaps and us bringing in a blocking TE for the other side. Whitehead will only get better and everyone sees that. We know what Massie is( a journyman OT) and tried to replace him this year but I can see Leno improving enough to take him out of the position of always trying to be replaced. We need to draft a OT prospect for the future but I see Leno improving as we go forward. Summary: we have the draft and FAgents but lets not forget our roster and the potential to improve from within.

Probably offered 1.5 mil with incentives, would have been nice, but just means we will be drafting a 5T somewhere.

We clearly needed a blocking TE to go with Miller, it also is a huge boast to the running game. You have two TE sets and deep speed on the outside and you could have an offense.

I think its clear Pace does not believe in over paying and over drafting, so that is why we will not draft a QB at 3 or probably in the second. No matter what happens this year Paces job is not in jeopardy , Fox is another story. Pace will draft BPA PERIOD.

I dont think it has anything to do with the draft. If they view any of top three as a Franchise QB there going to take him at 3, if not then a prospect in the third or fourth round

I like this much better, but we are not going to get all of our needs in this draft. Allen would make our front 3 killer that will help the back of the D. King is a great pick and Jackson is a sneaky good pick. He was awesome before his injury this year and will get back to that form. We did not address TE or WR but the draft is strong in those spots, so maybe in the last two rounds we can grab a Austin Carr/WR and a Roberts/TE

In free agency we have added depth at all positions of need. So if Pace truly takes BPA, I looked at 5 lists of top players and these names common in all: Garrett Thomas Allen Forunette Adams Garrett will be gone and with Howard, wer wont be taking Fournette. So our pick will be from these three: Thomas Allen Adams I would be happy with any of them, but think it will be Thomas. I think we grab a SS in the second or third round, the position of great depth. I think Allen having arthritis moves him back on our list.

I think if we sign Shanchez , it indicates they dont see any of the top 3 qbs as franchise players. I think we delegate one of the 4th rounders to pick a prospect. Three that could be there are Peterman, Kaaya, or Kelly. I think they view Sanchez as a vet presence to help the draft prospect and also Glennon to develop. Prescott has stated many times how much he helped him last year.

I seen where Ray RH has grown to 285 and had his number changed. Sounds like he is a 5T now

he's a stud but dont see us drafting to a strength when others are there

http://www.scout.com/nfl/bears/story/17643...-mock-draft-v20 here is a mock by Aaron Fleming , I would like this draft

RJF left Seattle without a deal , hopefully that bodes well for us.

That would be nice, a little known fact , he was in SF with fangio in 2011 and 2012. Maybe that matters. Between us and Seahawks, where does he think he will get more playing time? Here.

Also bringing in Jean-Francois/5T, a rotation player while we wait for Bullard to get his shit together. For a visit

Screw that, you want a name, bring in Jamal Charles and have him be our 3rd down back. That would keep him healthy and at prime level.

I heard the bears are converting D. Hall to safety. That tells me , we may be drafting the top CB with one of our first two picks.

The only way a tradecgets done is we are on the,clock so we and other teams know the first two picks. If Garrett is there ,we're not trading the pick.

Its just a backup more fitting than Sutton at NT

I think we would be still be in on thomas , he's flexible enough to play end ,olb and slide inside on 3rd downs .A versatile player , Fangio would love.

I seen that but i was referring to picking a player over another player because of his combine results

There is risk for any QB at #3, I would rather have a all pro type drafted than end up with a Jake Locker, or Christian Ponder at that stage. No matter how much you want a QB this is a bad year for QB. One may shine and a couple others end up back ups, but there is no cream of the crop in this draft.

The combine results are interesting but if you draft a player because he has good combine results, you will lose more times than you win. Thomas is more of a edge rusher where Allen is more of a 5T. Both are needs in this offense, and would have no problem with either choose.

Both Allen and Thomas will end up being good players and would not have a problem choosing either. I was wanting Adams, but think a stud on the line would have more of an impact and then take Baker in the second and still would be getting a difference maker in the back of the defense. So any of those three would be fine with me, but I more wish to move back in the draft and get more choices but that is out of our control.

Pace the last two years chased high end free agents but would only go so high before it became to risky to pay big money. I personally dont think Gilmore or Bouye are worth their contracts but would still like to have seen one,but Pace is bend on building through the draft and has set values on free agents. I think once we are ready to make the leap and need a few players to get over the hump, he will pay the big money. we are just at least one ,probably two years away from that moment. Every good team has gotten there by drafting well, we are trying to become one of those teams. I think the jury is still out, but if White comes through this year, and we have another good draft, then I would say we are on our way to being one of those teams.

The first 3 QB prospects are large question marks to be drafted at the front end of the draft. None will make it out of the first round, they will be over drafted. I look at Draftcoundown for some of my information on the draft. He has Kizer rated 18th Trubisky is 31th Watson is 36th Mahones is 41 Webb is 88 Kaaya is 93 Peterman is 142 Dont know about the rest but I think the first three are realistic So from what I read, Webb and Perterman has got some scouts thinking. So I propose we wait into the 3rd round and try to get Perterman or Webb and hope one develop. The frist 3 have more upside, but the their value does not match a high pick in one.
