C- kreutz

S - maybe Huff....

 

 

Here is a website that has the 2011 Free Agents Broken Down by position. This should help with our wishful thinking and hopeful banter.

Sidney Rice, all the way, young and fights for the ball.

Also grab Duece Lutui/OG from Arz. bad year in 2010 but big time in 2009. should have a reasonable contract.

We will draft a OLT

Here's my wishlist. Like MadLith, I'm trying to be at least somewhat realistic. I'm also assuming that we draft Gabe Carimi in round 1 and draft John Moffitt in Round 3 or 4.

 

QB - Bring Caleb Hanie back for relatively cheap.

 

WR - Vincent Jackson. This is priority #1.

 

RB - Jason Snelling. Probably a pipe dream, as the Falcons have said that they want to keep their current backfield together. If we could get him, though, Snelling would be a MUCH better short-yardage/goal-line option than Chester Taylor, and he's a good enough receiver (74 receptions from 2009-2010) to play in Martz's offense. They could run some two-back sets and motion Snelling to fullback, which would keep us from having to use Manumaleuna in that role.

 

OG - Marshal Yanda, Justin Blalock, or maybe Davin Joseph. Blalock plays left guard, the other two play right guard. If we got Blalock, that'd give us a veteran next to Carimi to help him make the transition to the pros. If we got Yanda or Joseph, then both Carimi and Moffitt could stay in their college positions, and there'd be the added advantage of them being familiar with one another, which could help the line gel faster.

 

DT - Anthony Hargrove. Hargrove's an undersized pure pass rusher at DT, but that's exactly what the Bears need. He doesn't offer anything in terms of run-stopping and wouldn't be a full-time player, but the glaring hole on the Bears' d-line this season was interior pass rush. If they part ways with Tommie, Hargrove could pick up some of the slack as a rotational player in the nickel package and on obvious passing downs. If it wouldn't cost too much to get him, he could be a decent pickup.

One other thing I noticed - Jared Gaither is on that list. According to the Baltimore Sun, Gaither's expected to be an unrestricted free agent and the Ravens probably won't be able to retain him. He's had some health problems (disc injury in his back, which is worrisome) but if he's healthy he's one of the most physically gifted tackles in the league. He can play left tackle or right, has plenty of starting experience, and he's only 24. If he's healthy and has his head on straight, he'd be a HUGE upgrade at tackle over anybody on the roster or anyone available in the draft. I think the Bears should at least kick the tires if he's available for the right price.

Sounds good to me!
