In the Den
Could Adrian Peterson be the odd man out on the Bears roster at running back?
The Bears are bringing in Kent State QB Julian Edelman for a workout.
He could be a possible WR or ST player.
Ohio safety Mike Mitchell is on everyone's radar now.
According to the draft value chart at PFT, Hakeem Nicks is slipping
into the mid-2nd round.
Brad Biggs details the possible prime-time games the Bears could have.
This was, obviously, posted before the schedule came out.
Larry Mayer runs down what the scouts said about current Bears players.
Larry Mayer's Part three of four stories on the draft preparations of
the Bears. They're finalizing their prospect list, and I have one
thing to say to that: Gooooood.
In the Vicinity of the Den
Looks like Cutler is looking to help out the local bar business by trying to make up for the loss in funds they had been recieving from Kyle Orton. He is already been making the rounds and has been cozing up to one Julia Allison of some kind of internet fame. Best I can tell, this would be her:
The Bears may be on the verge of signing a new wide receiver.
The Bears almost put out a new ad featuring Sir Jay, but it was axed due to budget concerns.
Still taking shots at poor ol Rexy.
Nowhere Near the Den
This is a feel-good story: Aaron Curry isinviting a nine-year old
leukemia survivor to the NFL Draft with him.
Looks like the NY Giants are a good bet to land the services of Braylon Edwards.
Jeremy Maclin isn't upset at not being invited to the Draft.
At least one thinks Tampa Bay may still draft a QB, has Gruden been hired to write at PFT?

Hell no
I’d still pass in him just because he went to florida

that'd be an even sillier reason not to draft him than his reefer madness
the guy can flat out play and can take it to the promised land anytime he touches the ball. People negatively compare him to reggie bush, but if he does for us what reggie did for the saints in his rookie year we will win the super bowl. I do believe Harvin can produce for us as much as if not more than Reggie ever did. Imagine the huge nacho flavored chip he is going to play with if he falls.
Is it a silly reason?
look at the track record of WRs drafted out of florida. Harvin isn’t even the best of that bunch. he’s not even a polished WR. We need a wideout that can make an impact from game one. not three years from now.

the logic is weak
Kind of like saying that since no QB has ever been successful in a Bears uniform means Cutler isn’t gonna be that great. the fact that previous Florida receivers have been NFL failures does not alone make it probable that Harvin will fail. Maybe he does maybe he doesn’t but I don’t think there is some sort for Florida WR curse. Not to mention i disagree with the notion that Harvin is not the best of the bunch. I don’t even like the Gators (go Canes!) but Harvin is legit, those other guys were scrubs.
I never said anything about a curse
Ike Hilliard and Travis Taylor were hyped up more than Harvin. So was Reidel Anthony Who jerry Angelo Drafted. It’s the system that makes players look better than they really are. Penn state RBs?

I agree ifuwanna
Harvin is nowhere near the caliber player Bush was coming out of college and Bush, aside from his return duties, has been worthless(well, he is banging Kim Kardashian) in the NFL. I don’t know how he thinks Harvin’s skill set translates better than Bush’s skill set.
Harvin must be a real "Brain Trust"
He knew the test was coming and still couldn’t stay off the stuff.
afroman
he was not gonna play for the bears, but then he got high. like the guinness (yah know alcohol the much more deadly and harmful substance than marijuana) dudes would say… Brilliant!
Hehe...pull

If Jay Cutler is a Type I diabetic, what is he doing drinking?
I don’t care if he does the bar circuit, after all he’s a single guy, but he’d better be drinking club soda. It’s insane for a diabetic to consume alcohol on a regular basis.
I have a co-worker who drinks with me all the time...
And he has a monitor that he has to wear, and gives himself shots/injections or whatever it is everyday.
It’s not like he’s a skunk drunk…

I'm a type-1 diabetic
I drink regularly as well, but the main concern is your blood sugar dropping because of the steady dose of insulin taken. Alcohol prevents your liver from releasing glucose (sugar) into a persons blood-stream because it’s processing the alcohol consumed. Diabetics like myself have to counter this action by eating carbs while drinking. With that being said, it’s not wise to exceed a few drinks in one sitting or evening; if I do I just make sure to periodically eat something containing carbs.

He's in contract talks with the Jags...
They have warmer weather… and lot’s of pick-up trucks. The tire loves those pick-ups :)

I was looking forward
to seeing the tire swing in action. Not a great route runner but does make plays.
Because as far as we're concerned, there is still no team in the history of the NFL that could beat the '85 Bears.

I'm just excited
to see an upgrade over last year’s group. I hope he’s steel belted, that’d be good.
WHY ARE WE LOOKING AT JULIAN EDELMAN?
Why do we insist on drafting projects, and trying to turn them into WRs?
If you want a WR, then draft a friggin WR.

Thats How I Feel
he wasn’t that good at Kent State, although he nearly killed the Ball State defense but that was with his legs, he really isn’t even a decent throwing prospect.
by Sam Householder on Apr 15, 2009 9:37 AM CDT up reply actions
Edelman could go undrafted
or be a late 7th round pick. It’s a safe move on the bears part

They need to spend less time looking underneath small rocks...
and more time looking up at the top of the mountain.

LOL.
They always seem to try too hard to outsmart everyone… looking for gold. And all they usually find are nothing but fools.
Look at all the damn QBs Angelo’s brought in… instead of just going with some of the more top ranked obvious choices (Grossman aside). He’s done the same damn thing with WRs… and it hasn’t gotten us very far.

True
But take a look at some of the late round (5th or later) DB’s from smaller schools he’s brought in. Not bad pickups by any stretch of the imagination, and a lot of them turned out to be pretty damn good.
I agree with your premise, but Jerry is pretty decent at getting DB’s from small schools.
I'M A MAN! I'M 22!
I was mainly talking about QB and WR
For a team that hasn’t historically been any good at scouting those positions, why do they consistently try to outsmart everyone by choosing the “under the radar” kind of guys?
They finally got a real QB, now maybe they’ll learn something and get a real WR.

For sure
Craig Krenzel, anyone? Orton turned out ok, but it wasn’t a huge pick up.
And we’ve just been terrible at the WR position. We’ve picked good people (Berrian, etc.), but they’ve been terrible with us, then they go and do great things with other teams. That’s the coaching staff’s fault.
I'M A MAN! I'M 22!
I wouldn't say Berrian has done
great things elsewhere, but I get your point considering guys like Gage.

Every team does their due-dilligence on potential undrafted or late round prospects. It’s not like many of these players will see the light of day anyways.

Barden's projection
says he’ll do virtually nothing in his first year. I’d rather JA draft another lineman or DB with that pick.

That is true. You could get lucky
And find a poor man’s Josh Cribbs. However, Cribbs is A LOT faster. That and no way Turner would be creative enough to run a Wildcat w/ this kid.

Coolness? How can you get all that from looking at her picture? She has thick legs and it looks like she’s hiding a phat butt under that skirt. I’d buy that for a dollar!!
She has bigger calves than Jason McKie
If a woman can squat me, that’s not considered foreplay for me.

Now wait
Who has bigger calves? The girl posted above? Or Alex Brown?
I’m going with the girl by a small margin.
I'M A MAN! I'M 22!
Not big calves
They’re flexed because of those heels she has on. The rest of her legs are rather slender. I’d rather have her muscular calves than cankles. Are you guys dating anorexic girls?

Awww, man what am I supposed to do about my sig now?
I agree completely. I had an old saying that I always begged my brother and my male friends to keep in mind: If I can’t look at her face for longer than 5 seconds, the odds are that the club was really dark, you were completely hammered, and very desperate for the company of a female. This woman is ugly and on top of that she needs a tan. Jay was drunk when he met her and I hope that he left the lights off! I know alcohol has a strange effect on people in clubs, but even it wears off. Now I know that the guys in Chicago can do better than that!

Thanks for the invite. I will use this great forum for a sneak preview of the city when I arrive for my vacation. It seems like a rocking place full of clubs and good times! I must say that I was shocked when I saw that photo-boy! I was shocked that someone found her to be HOT-I mean what’s with that funky stand, is she airing out? Come on… remember the lights have to come back on again and why would you want to wake up to that? I’m looking forward to my good time in the windy city! Is it true that you built your new stadium inside of the original soldier field? That is the story that I heard.
