I am not saying it is not possible, but there are a lot of higher rated players before Floyd.

You really thing 2x WR's will go in the top 10? I highly doubt that.

Emery and Raye have the most experience and Ross has the most upside.

I just feel like if WR or OL are the best available at #19, you take the player. I would hate to pass up on Floyd to reach for an Offensive Lineman who was not projected until the 2nd round just because OL is the greatest need at that point. You have to weigh value with need. If we do get Bowe or Jackson, then WR would be 2nd to OL as a need, but if we get someone like Nicks, then the needs are similar. I would then take best available of any of the top needs, even if that was not OL or WR at that point (maybe DB or DL). I just hate passing on skill position players.

Even if we pick up a top tier WR in Free Agency, I still believe WR is a need. Knox was our leading WR, and 2nd was Roy Williams, that is pretty sickening. We really could use a true #1 and #2. I would still go OL, WR, and DB in the first couple of rounds. If Floyd is sitting there at #19, how could you pass that up? Bowe and Floyd as the #1 and #2? That would be sweet.

After the 2nd loss by Hanie, I would've taken a chance on him. It is not like he could've played much worse than Hanie did.

I would not mind DeCastro if Floyd is gone. If they both are gone at 19, I would almost trade down and pick up Jeffery, Sanu, or Glenn in the mid-20's. A swap to about 25 could net us another late 3rd round pick. We could then take 2x 3rd rounders and move into the 2nd round, giving us a 1st rounder, 2x 2nd rounders, and a 3rd rounder. That wouldn't be too bad of a haul.

I thought the same thing, but many key players for Atlanta were drafted when he was with them, and I really like KC's 2010 draft.

Emery bio: Video with Emery: http://www.kcchiefs.com/media-center/video...4f-cfd6fb7051e7 Some of the notable draft picks of the teams he scouted for: Atlanta Drafts 2004 - DeAngelo Hall, Michael Jenkins, Matt Schaub 2005 - Roddy White 2008 - Matt Ryan 2010 KC Draft - Eric Berry, Dexter McCluster, Javier Arenas, Tony Moeaki, Kendrick Lewis I really like the 2010 draft. A lot of production from those guys.

https://twitter.com/#!/caplannfl/status...489335177748480 Emery is currently with KC, so maybe that would give us the inside track on someone like Dwayne Bowe?

Mark Anderson had 10 sacks and is a UFA.

It would be borderline comical, and maybe it could lead to a HC change for us as well. I was also thinking, even though the Bears can't block the interview, Tice can turn down the job/interview. It will be interesting if he takes them up on the offer. Wouldn't that sort of say he is not completely devoted to the team if he interviews, but does not get the job? I am saying this only because he accepted the OC position already. I wouldn't say this if he was already a Coordinator and this was presented to him.

Yes, of any of the coaches, he was the one I would miss the most if he left, this is great news.

This seems to be a pretty decent year for free agency, and if we can get 3-4 of this group, I would be very happy: Top Tier Wideout (Free Agent) Dwayne Bowe (81-1159, 5TD) Steve Johnson (76-1004, 7TD) Vincent Jackson (60-1106, 9TD) or trade for Brandon Marshall (81-1214, 6TD) 2nd Tier Wideout (Free Agent) Robert Meachem (40-620, 6TD Jerome Simpson (50-725, 4TD) Mario Manningham (39-523, 4TD) Top Tier Tight End Jermichael Finley (probably franchised by GB) Fred Davis (59-796, 3TD) via Free Agency 2nd Tier Tight End Jacob Tamme - IND Joel Dreesen - HOU Scott Chandler - BUF OL Chris Myers - Hou Nick Hardwick - SD Evan Mathis - PHI Carl Nicks - NO Jake Scott - TEN CB Cortland Finnegan - TEN (1 INT, 75 tackles) Lardarius Webb - BAL (5 INT, 67 tackles) DL Campbell Calais - ARZ (72 tackles, 8 sacks, 1 INT) Jermey Mincey - JAX (57 tackles, 8 sacks, 1 INT) Sione Pouha - NYJ (58 tackles, 1 sack, 1 safety) OLB Erin Henderson - MIN (70 tackles, 1.5 sacks) Jarret Johnson - BAL (56 tackles, 2.5 sacks) Manny Lawson - CIN (52 tackles, 1.5 sacks) Anthony Spencer - DAL (66 tackles, 6.0 sacks) Solid Backup QB Chad Henne Derek Anderson David Carr Brady Quinn JP Losman Kyle Orton I used the following tracker and sorted by most valuable by position: http://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2012/...-agent-tracker/ Something like Dwayne Bowe, Joel Dreesen, Carl Nicks, and Lardarius Webb while drafting OL, WR, DB, LB, DL.

More so for their play style. I am sick of the 5,000 yard passing teams, it reminds me of the USFL. I would rather see SF win over the other remaining teams.

Both NO and GB were over-rated. Glad to see them both out. I would like to see SF vs NE so SF can clobber NE and Brady.

It says for the GM position, and this is that Jimmy Raye's son.

http://twitter.com/BradBiggs The KC one is questionable.

I agree that Enderle should've saw some playing time that last game, if for nothing more than his confidence. However, making any evaluation in one game can be kind of shaky. Take Hanie for example, he looked great vs GB in the playoffs coming in under those conditions, yet looked like a completely different QB this season.

I get a kick out of the responses below the article: I know there are only so many ways to measure performance for GM's and Player Director, etc, but more times than not the draft "prospect" doesn't work out. Also, it was not like Seattle had great first picks from 2005-2009. They had the 26th, 31st, 55th, 28th, and 4th picks during that window. For the 4th pick, they went with Aaron Curry who was a stud in college and was supposed to be the best player in the draft. Seattle got a steal at #4. He just didn't pan out. At this point anyone with some GM experience will probably do a better job than JA. Also, if we do stay in house with Ruskell, it definitely makes it easier to clean house with Lovie included after next season if it doesn't work out.

5 straight seasons with 1,000 yards, yes please. The Bears have not had one in a decade (2002 Booker).

I'll pass on the 5'10" CB at #19. We could probably trade down to #25 and still get him. I believe CB is a need, but not higher than OL or WR. Also, do we need to look for a pass catching TE?

From the other thread, Lovie has had 28 ex-Assistants. At some point you have to look in the mirror.
