Is David Haugh reading WCG?

Just one day after my post titled "Bears GM for a Day: Top Off-Season Targets," David Haugh's morning article seems to be echoing some of my remarks.

I had commented on how the Bears might have their own Darren Sproles in Garrett Wolfe, and need to get Wolfe more involved in the offense. I said, "Sproles was drafted by the Chargers in 2005, and it really took him until his 3rd season in the NFL (2007) to show his value... and his 4th season (2008) to make a huge impact.

I also wrote about how important the safety position is to Lovie Smith's Tampa 2 defense... saying, "Given the fact that Lovie Smith is married to the base Cover 2, the safety position is critical to the success of the Bears defense." And I suggested that the Bears target USC safety Taylor Mays with their #1 overal pick.

This morning, David Haugh writes:
