I do think we need to add to our CBs, with all the passing teams in the league, it can only help. What is cool , is we are in the position to take an impact player, which can be at many different positions.

He talked about Austin which not be considered a possession WR. I think we still have questions on our OL which may or may not work out, so I would have to take Warmack or Cooper if they are there, otherwise Austin would be a instant upgrade to our passing game.

The point I was trying to make is, since our boards members are smarter than GMs I wanted to get a consensus of what that actually decision would have been, since Urlacher story resurfaces this week. If you dont wish to participate, just dont answer. Since a lot of things were said, I just wanted to get a actually total on what we as a board would have did.

Your right, but if he retires because nobody wanted him I would have to say the right decision on not wanting him holds true. Or if someone signs him and he ends up being hurt same difference. The reasons why people didnt want him hold true. To make the statement( he will play well this year is a mute point) if he doesnt play, but it wil still go back to if it was the right decision to not sign him, which SO FAR looks like the right choice for anybody to make. So Im not sure IF HE PLAYED, you would have been right even matters.

Since some people think we are smarter than most GMs lets put that to practice. First question. With the Urlacher controversy, WOULD WE SIGN URLACHER FOR THE 3.5 MILLION HE WOULD HAVE SIGNED FOR? My vote would be a matter of valve, the Bears offer him 2 mil to come back. He turned it down. I think that was a fair valve for what he would bring to the table in 2013. I dont think he would make the full season without missing games, therefore If he signed for the 2 mil, I would still draft his replacement in the first couple of rounds. Since he wanted a 2 year contract at 11 mil and would have accepted 3.5 but still wanted two years, I would say not take him. Therefore the right decision was made by the Bears. So lets see what the collective opinion of the GM board for the Bears think.

I agree, I dont think he finds any way to take hit he would get from making the statement(I wouldnt play for the Bears for 2 mil)meaning he would for someone else. I personally think he might have a hard time passing a physical to play with his bum knee.

I actually wasn't referring to anything you said, it was Jason's comment. I think your quite well spoken, whether I agree with you or not.

I never said people on message boards dont make intelligent comments, and that experts are king. All the smart people in the NFL make 50% mistakes on first round picks. I just dont think your all that sharp.(just kidding) You actually make some profound statements, but you also make some stupid ones too. What bothers me about you, is if someone doesnt agree with you, that automatically dont know what there talking about. I say stupid stuff(while at least once) sometimes to, but I dont put myself on a pedestal, I try to keep everything in perspective. What look at the so called experts and find some that agree with our line of thinking and maybe we think there sharp. I think the smart ones are probably close to 50/50 on there projections, but some get paid to make decisions and if they screw up they get fired. They have more stake in what they say or do. We dont do anything but argue or our opinions. There is a difference.

I base my opinions on everything I watch and read, its a composite of many different sources. The point I was trying to make is because you watched a lot of games, how many of a certain player did you watch, focus on? If you watch highlight films of any player, that will make anybody look good. I probably watched both players 2 games a piece, so I cant base my judgement on what I seen, so I rely on what I read. I have opinions, but keep them in perspective as to what I can be a realistic judge of.

How many games of Brown playing did you watch? I think I prefer to accept the opinion of people that scout players for a living rather than you because you watch a lot of football games.

I definitely think one of our first 3 picks will be a CB. I still think we will move down and have 4 in the first 4 rounds someway or another, which will fall inline with the positions you mentioned.

The more I read the more I like Brown, sounds to me to be more apt to take Briggs job after he retires.

any of those sound good to me. I still think Brown is going to be a tackling machine in the NFL and would prefer to grab him.

There are a lot of mocks out there from goofs, but the ones I look at that I give a grain of salt too are ones run by former scouts. When I get a little more time, I will put up a list.

Im sorry I got confused,its like Webb is better but you didnt say he was better, and didnt pine for him. I start to get you point on evaluation.

So you prefer Olgetree, because you watched more tape on him? I like you scientific approach for your opinions.

Yea that guys real sharp, he doesnt even have our draft order right.

Davis was 6-7, that didnt do anything for anybody. I would take Austin over drafting a TE in the 1st, if we had the luxury of many picks we could play fantasy football but we dont.

I think for him to make a visit it would be to see Barkley. I can see, not desire, them drafting a QB high if we trade down for more picks.

I think Jones in the 2nd would be a great pick, can play OG until Garza loses his edge.

I am starting to see why your getting excited. I think we need to take that a step further and besides eifert in the first ,lets take Ertz in the second.Then we could line up Bennett in the slot, since we wont need a slot WR when we can have another TE. We put Evan in the backfield instead of Forte, he's taller and can block better. That way we have 6 players over 6-3 on the field at the same time and our offense would be unstoppable. I can thoroughly see why your intrigued.

If we did that, then Emery would be admitting Evan is a wasted pick.

Those are all good names, but if we drafted Flucker that gives us 4 RT going into training camp, and Brown will be a ieumuch better player than Te''o. Boyce addresses a need while Mathieu still has a lot of ?s

The point is NOT IN THE FIRST ROUND
