Just kind of average it out probably 6-3 320? Hageman or Nix, would definitely fit the mold. I dont think Donald fits that mold,we have Paea as that smallish backup. He would be a 3T in cover 2, maybe a end in a 3-4 but doubt it.

Im not at all a big Romo fan but he is a top 10 qb so I have to take him in the 7th

I like the names you put together, but think in a trade scenario you could have did better than a late 3rd pick.

They will bring Britton back to put in the te/extra blocking role. maybe a Jeff Cumberland formidably of the Jets can be brought in in FAgency with out much cost.

Early could end up being a beast, but Donald is 6' 288, I was trying to add some bulk to our lineup. Hageman is 309 and Truitt is 312.

That doesnt make a lot of sense for a te. We need another TE but at the end of the draft if it plays out that way.

Time will tell about how well he is at drafting, but he brought us , as you stated 2 pro bowlers and also, lets not forget, the Marshall trade. I give him a c+ so far. This year will go along way on telling us his expertise. I think the first year he had input from Lovie that may have affected his drafting, last year(still yet to define itself) was basically his first in my book.

how do you change your team in the off season? I thought we picked from the team we drafted?

Im bored and look at everything, at least they take the time to do a whole draft, the one rounders doesnt give much insight.

I looked back at the draft and we could have gotten Warford with our second round pick, he went in early 3rd round and tons of teams passed on him.

Warford would have been a good pick, but I think Long will end up being our LT once Bushrod falls off, Warford cant play that spot.

I will periodically list mock drafts of at least 3 rounds on this post. Draft Tek lists a draft as of 1/18 #1 Hagemen/DT/Minn #2 Bailey/SS/USC #3 Friedorowski/TE/Iowa #4 Martin/DE/NC #5 Ryenolds/CB/OreSU #6/a Ikard/OC/Oka #6/b Josh Huff/RB/Oregon I dont know much about any of them except for Hageman,BUT according to how the draft falls, this is who I would take in those spots #1 Hageman/DT #2 S Truitt/DE/ND #3 Desir/CB/Linedwood #4 Anthony Johnson/DT/LSU #5 Ward/SS/NIU #6 Ikard/OC/Okla #6 Logan Thomas/QB/VTU I kiinda went with the best player available theory which got me the 3 DLinemen.

coaches are a big part of success but if we dont make several changes on the DL , he will look bad too.

It shows other NFL people think he is good, not just us.

With the personal they still have, I think it wont be a true 3-4, the base will be a 4-3 and thhey will run a hybrid 3-4 with the same personal. Garzas money according to OVER THE CAP WEBSITE , it showed him being paid , 3.2 but it showed his cap space as 2.1 so I dont know if that means that was a bonus, and his salary was 1.1, so it covers the difference.

If they bring back Garza, I suspect they will have to pay him around 3, in a new contract for DLP, that could probably get in done in the first year. Young guy, or Garza, lets move younger.

I wish to throw out the name of Stevie Brown/S/Giants. He is a free agent, 5/11 221/ 4 year veteran. Had a big year 2012, 78 tackles, 8 int,11 PDs, 2 FF. in 11 starts. He is coming off an injury in 2013, if healthy, a up and comer that be gotten for a decent price. I dont think we have the money to go after Byrd or Ward, so an alternate plan. Another name I like is Brian De La Puerta/OC/NO. he is a FA and with there cap problems, he may be ripe for the picking.

I think if we landed DE Bennett, that would be a good signing.

Just got back from a week in Honduras(warm weather) so I can rap my mind around all of things we are talking about. I think Cody is someone we could realistically get. This is my take: the Bears have set themselves up to be flexible with the cap so I think we get one FA with a good contract and a couple of lower end FAs. I think they release Peppers so we resign Wooten as one DE( will come back to us on low end contract) I think we go after one DE like a Bennett that we wont get raped. We are in best position to get a moderate contract with Ratliff,Collins and probably Melton on a incentive laden contract. I think we bring back Bowman and dont end up with Peanut. We are suppose to be going young, but a thought of mine is to bring in some defensive leadership, maybe go after Vilma,MLB , could be got cheap, NO has big time cap issues. I think he could add some grit to the middle of defense and was there defensive leader until he was hurt, will be 32 thou next year. JUST THINKING OUT LOUD With all of the cap issues in NOs and with Grahams contract expired maybe we could get Brian LePuerta beings he has ties with our OC. A young pro caliber center I think the rest of positions will be addressed in draft I think we will be signing a whole bunch of 1mil FAs similar to last year. If I want to play Fantasy FAgency I could throw out lots of names, the fact is we will grab one good FA and a bunch of fill in the blanks. wish is wasnt so.

he hasnt decided what dead horse he will ride this off season.

we got injured and old at the same time. a lack of leadership, poor drafting; everything hit all at once.we , no matter who the cordinator was we were going to be bad. lets see what they do, and see what happens. im in houduras and a little out of touch for a week.

We give Emery a hard time on his first year draft, but he gave us a pro bowler and a servial player in Frey.He brought us Marshall. We have the best tandem WRs in the league this side of Denver.

I like a lot of your names, the first round is one we could use at either position in either scheme. I give you a hard time sometimes, but you do have a lot good input in this blog.

This is a great article for rebuilding the Bears. Im not sure how to link this, so Im sure one of you brains will do it for us. Breaking Down Chicago Bears' 2014 Salary Cap: Where Is Money Best Spent? Its on Bleacher report?Bears

I heard they stuctured Slauson, Jennings contracts the same way. They did this for ultimate flexibility. I also think it is basically a 3 year 54 mil deal and their off the hook. If this plan doesnt work with Cutler, they move on. If it develops as planned it in the end will be good deal. Also, I think it tells us it will take more than one year to build the defense, by throwing everything up front, it gives them a couple of years to get this done,and all the contracts will be user friendly if they have to move on from their plan.
