Forte has been a very good player for us but will be 29 during this football season. RBs start to hit the wall once they hit 1500 carries and Matt is at 1506, with 341 receptions. I think they start to take some of the carries away as they try to get two more years out from him and diversify the offense a little more in its second year. I dont think we go after anybody in FA, we will cut Bush(to much money). We have Ford, and will remain one of our backups but think we draft a compliment player to Forte. I think it will only be a 6th round type that will be able to be a backup RB and also play some slot WR. If Thomas/Ore or Archer/KS last until the 6th round, we will make that selection to add speed and another dimension to our offense. other late round possibilities McKinnon/GS- has some speed and was a productive college RB Perkins/MSU- has some speed and can catch the ball out of backfield Josey/Miso- some speed, and was a productive player on a high end offense in college

We still have a spot to fill as an effective TE in our #2 Slot Options in FAgency: Jeff Cumberland/Jets- young with upside Garrett Graham/Hou- young and can catch the ball Quarlles/GB--young has shown some upside Draft: C.J. Fiedorowicz/Iowa- I think our first 3 picks will all be defense, but from the 4th on anything goes Rodgers/Cal- good athlete,speed, good upside Grimble/USC- good athlete, can catch the ball, good upside,speed Lynch/Geo-can block and shown he can catch the ball Gilmore/CS-impressed at Senoir Bowl- I think we draft him in 5th if we dont get a FA

I think Emery is not going to be willing to spend the money on our backup. McCown probably gets a 2 year 4 to 5 mil and is to rich for Bears.Some one drafting a rookie QB will pay to get insurance. teams for McCown: TB, they could use a good backup with Glennon still developing on the job, plenty of cap space, Lovie throws a dig to the Bears organisation, closer to home Jacksonville,they will draft a QB and Josh would be a good fall back if the rookie needs time to grow, closer to home,plrnty of cap space FA options: I think Jordon Palmer comes back on a vet min deal AND we draft a developmental QB 4th round and below; A.J. McCarren/Ala Aaron Murray/Geo Logan Thomas/VT Brett Smith/Wyo Fales/SJS Wennings/BS I think we end up with Murray in 5th or Wennings is 6th

We need to find a lot of min salary guys, so we can at least make a couple of pricey moves in FAgengy.

Cool, we may be able to be in a good place yet.

Actually the biggest problem was his knee injury, and your right no one can be accurate with number of games played, but with such a lousy line in front of him, I suspect he would have missed more games due to his abuse by lineman reaching him.

I think the Bears make an offer similar to the price you mentioned in a different thread. Will have to see if someone wants to pay him big bucks. Seattle released Red Bryant, maybe we can add him for a song.

I still think in 5th thur 6th round picks we could be adding one. I read where Ikard has ties to Kromer. Friends with his son, and has talked to him about being drafted. 5th or 6th. Put him on the practice squad and let him learn being around Garza.

Just means we probably wont be drafting one. One backup spot set.

Just need to check out all options, Bostic wont be playing the middle again unless we get lots of injuries. He is set to take Lances job after this year. Greens will end up just being a usable backup. I see us bringing in or drafting our new MLB. I read where Underwood played for our new LBers coach Paul P.(didnt want to misspell it)

A few players in FAgency I think we should look at that would add to the team, not top players. Dexter McCluster/RB/WR - I think he would add something to our offense we havent seen yet. Matt Shawnessey/DE-already mentioned by a member, think he is under the radar player that could help lots.Could be gotten instead of Wootton Desmon Bishop/MLB- talented player injured last year Cory Graham/CB- at 29 still has some life in him Malcom Jenkins- young and upcoming Garret Grahan/TE- would be a good complement to Bennett

What your missing is most mock drafts are not accurate, just something to play with waiting for football to happen.Because of the combine he probably moved up one round. I suspect a 2nd or third.

You only make that move if your one or two players away. We are 7 players away right now. Plus no one will let you move up to 5 for just a 2nd rounder, no way in hell does that happen. At least 2nd, 3rd and 6th

He is probably a different type of player but he makes me think of SMC

I would love that draft and also the Matt S. signing, spot on.

Donald looks like he would be a great fit for our defense. Brings the production, health, consistency, and fire that would help our defense alot. So who will want him. There is always Lovie sticking his nose in there, but they have more glaring needs that another DT right now and they have G. McCoy to play the 3 T Dallas most definitely will be after him but they pick after us. Otherwise your normal good drafting teams will find a place for him. GB,SF,Seattle,and NE. So we should get the first shot at taking him and good luck to us. I think he is the man. If we cut Peppers,DE will become more of a need, but I think Donald should not be passed up. We can still get Crighton,Smith, or Martin in the next couple of rounds.

Them keeping Boggs for one more year probably says he may develop into our next starting OC.

Martin is not only fast had 82 tackles-21.5 TFL-12.5 sacks, very similar in numbers to Clownery

Its not if we draft Mosely, but he may be better at handling the Pros than Bostic was, hard to say, but he is the top rated MLB, if we choose to go that way.Every player has different paths to follow,but I think we need some leadership on our defense whether you think it matters or not.

One thing we know for sure is Emery likes athletic players, so that puts Donald in the front along with Hageman.

If its Bostic? way to many things to learn to become a team leader his first year. Urlacher didnt assume that role for a few years.

Not a combine DL thing, but seen where Archer/RB/Kent State run a 4.26 40 time Im thinking Trestman could find ways to use him in his offense, maybe a 4th rounder? At least take Hester's place on KR

If one of those top players drop, it may be beneficial to trade down and grab several picks for the privilege of our pick.

way to expensive for so many spots to fill, but would be the bomb.

I would not be upset over that, I think Mathews might end up being the LT with Bushrod moving over the following year.
