I like the two WRs, but if we resign SC dont see us drafting a OG high. We have the two starters from last year, Omiyale, and Buening. I think Duke would be a stud, just dont think the Bears will look at it that way. I dont see the starters from last year starting and hope the new guys are an upgrade. Have you read the stats on Knox, he has stud stats, and fast, just dont know if it will translate to the NFL. I like the FB, but see us drafting Gill/DT/ NW with the 6th or 7th pick. They have had visited him twice and has better numbers than anyone at the combine listed DT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawhizz Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Not bad at all. But I think that a body who can compete for a starting job at safety and a quality WR are both bigger needs than a pure guard at this point, since we have 4 guards on the roster (Buenning, Garza, Beekman, and Omiyale) with starting experience and only 3 WRs who caught a pass last year. I've been working on a mock myself (with the projected 4th & 2 7ths in compensation) and this is how I would go: 1) Hakeem Nicks, WR, North Carolina 2) Jairus Byrd, DB, Oregon 3) Kraig Urbik, OG, Wisconsin 4) TJ Lang, OT, Eastern Michigan 4) Stephen McGee, QB, Texas A&M 5) David Veikune, DE, Hawaii 6) Quan Cosby, WR, Texas 7) Brannan Southerland, FB, Georgia 7) Terrill Byrd, DT, Cincinnatti That gives you a starting caliber WR in Nicks right away, as well as another sure-handed guy ready to step in and contribute in Cosby (maybe a poor man's Lance Moore?). Byrd can make a strong run at starting at FS from day one. Urbik and Lang are versatile linemen who can both push for time at either guard or RT. McGee is a nice, athletic QB prospect who reportedly really impressed at A & M pro day. Veikune and Byrd provide you with speed on the DL to put in the rotation in hopes of generating a better pass rush, and Southerland gives you a strong blocker to push McKie (though he may need a year to recover from an injury in the last year).

Ed Hochuli 3:16 Posted March 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Not bad but I'm not a big Urbik guy anymore and Lang is projected as an OG in the pros. Keep Lang and instead of Urbik, put an OT in his spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep Lang and instead of Urbik, put an OT in his spot. We spent time with Urbik at the combine, and Lang is just a guy that will take some time, like many that later rounds will produce. Nicks and Byrd are excellent picks and also Veikune is as good as any of the later round DE propects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azbearsfan Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 gotta shore up the Oline while ignoring any hint of a passing game Shoring up the line actually helps the passing game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Hochuli 3:16 Posted March 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 gotta shore up the Oline while ignoring any hint of a passing game Giving the QB time helps him find open WR's. Giving the RB holes opens up the passing game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongo3451 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 My fantasy draft would definately involve adding a couple of high choices on OL. Here's what I'd like to see... Trade to the bottom of the 1st round if a stud OT is not availible and pick up an extra 2nd rounder. Not realistic, but here goes: 1st - Beatty OT 2nd - Robiske / Britt WR 2nd - Freeman QB 3rd - Louis Delmas FS 3-4(comp) Louis Vasquez OG 4th - Phillip Hunt DE 5th - Corey Irvin DT 6th - Ryan Stamper OLB 7th - Tony Fiametta FB comp comp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
