The point is NOT IN THE FIRST ROUND

The point is

The latest Watlers mock draft, has us taking #1 Arthur Brown/LB #2 Larry Warford/OG #4 Josh Boyce/WR That is a mock I can get behind.Love it.

It will take the end of the season or maybe two years from now to judge what Emery is doing now, but I has to give him kudos for having a plan. He is systematically filling our needs with resigning or someone new. The biggest one is not signing the great Brian Urlacher, which in my opinion, is a good move. He is one year older and injury prone, and not up to par anymore. We filled his spot with a risk but with upside. A productive player until last year, Williams has something to prove. He will never be Urlacher in his prime years but tons better than Urlacher 2013. Anderson is a better choice than Roach,so at least on paper this looks like an upgrade. We got a cheap QB option back instead of the bloated Campbell. Our Oline is better but not great, but Slauson over an Louis coming off of a injury is a positive. Bushrod is not a great LT but is an upgrade over the mediocre Webb. Webb and Carmi will fight over the RT spot, with Scott a decent backup.That spot was terrible last year and now we have competition with the chance of it being better. TE is a huge upgrade over the handless Davis. Marena is a better blocker than Spaeth. Hayden was ok as a NB and gets to prove his worth being on a one year deal. The only move I didnt like was McBride over bringing back Idonije who was a underrated player. He still might be back, thou. The biggest thing about all of this is there all coming here on one year, cheap contracts.(other than Bennett and Bushrod) He is not done, so we can only improve on the present.

Its going to be some form of a WCO, which means we aint drafting a TE in the first.

Well considering betting, Urlacher is no longer here, so I called that one right, the Bears didnt want him. So when I said he wouldnt play 12 games, winner winner chicken dinner. I think the possiblity exists he might sign somewhere but after his first injury, he will be retired this year. I am up for betting on that, your call.

Im not talking about on this board, I am talking about professional opinions. There have been some that have mentioned he could play OG but the overall vibe is a excellent RT.

I think we still need another drafted player to make this a better OL.

It was mentioned that Scott was signed to be the swing tackle. So the right tackle spot is a duel between Webb and Carmi. Early in camp if Webb shines I see them moving Carmi to OG. If Carmi takes the spot, that may be bad for Webb to stay on the roster.

If your going to compare them you have to compare what they do this year. Williams? Urlacher retired. I would have to say Williams wins hands down.

I think that may close the door on free agency unless we get Idonije back.

Anybody watching the video , Jones is worth watching also.

I havent seem anywhere they think he is a OG, he is a RT and if we draft him, thats where he will be playing.

No way thats going to happen, so much for being an expert.

I think the key to all this is the Trestman-Culter connection. If they do well together were 10-6, maybe 11-5. If they dont work well together,were 8-8 or 9-7. There are a lot of questions on the team, but there always is. I think we actually see some of last years draft picks making more of an impact. The change in the defense will make us around a 10-20 rated defense but if we get the OLine straighten out, our offense could be top10 in scoring in the league.

I think he will be going higher than most predict. He will never make it out of the 2nd round.

One year with Lovie in his year isnt much of a resume to hang your hat on. I think I will wait until a few years have passed and see what we got. I would like him to succeed so why not support him. I am a Bears fan, so why not act like one. Last years draft is still a question mark but honestly it takes 3 years to judge a draft. I like what he has did so far,and we will see how that translates on the field. I get everything you have talked about but you have failed to accept my view point that he is to injury prone, to old, and to expensive to make worth having. The sad part of everything is I will not win the bet because he will probably never play another down in the NFL and you wont we able to see he is not good enough anymore and will miss games because of a broke body.

Emery has a back up plan and we will see it in a couple of days.

This thread is about resigning a FA, I wasnt necessarily addressing your post.

If you look atbig boards, DT-DE-CB, fall in that spot a lot. I see the possibility exists if Austin is there we might take him.

I'm not sure is a Trestman type Qb. It will probably be McCown.

We still have Idonije and Louis to sign and then I think were be done with FA. Oh I forget also a backup Qb.

We wont know how all of his moves work out for a year or two, but I like the fact he has a plan and I hope it works out.

I guess the best way to look at it is he isnt here anymore, and good luck to him because he doesnt seem to be in high demand. Its probably a conspiracy but I will leave that up to Jason to figure that out.

I didnt confuse anything, your statement wasnt pointed to (all star type players), but lets face it fringe players are looking for jobs and will take what they get, but the only big contracts we signed would have had any effect because Urlacher was being showed the door. Over all players go where the money is and where they might be able to win a ring. All those other little points mean very little. It matters to you, but last time I checked you dont play in the NFL.
