Around SBN: FSU To Big 12 'Inevitable,' According To Report

The Bears Den - 4/16/09

Bear_s-den_medium

 

In the Den 

CF: Well, it's official. Steve Rosenbloom sounds like me. Don't believe me? His title involves Rashied Davis staying the hell away from the Bears. I don't know whether to be excited or dismayed at this point.

Dan Pompei's top tight ends in the draft.

David Haugh discusses why the Bears won't take a WR with their 2nd round pick. They want "value over need." Terrific. Jerry takes one step forward, get everyone's hopes up, and he'll crush them harder than Lance Briggs' Lambo.

Speaking of David Haugh, he breaks down the schedule.

Biggs's draft need #12: Center

Speaking of the draft and beating topics to death, let's take a look at another article about Rashad Johnson.

Go over to the official Bears site and sign up for their draft challenge. It's not really a competition; it's more of a blueprint for Jerry Angelo.

Larry Mayer has a bunch of facts and figures about the 2009 NFL schedule. Check it out.

In the Vicinity of the Den 

So you didn't like the lady that Cutler is spending time with...how about the one Wale is hanging around with?

The Jags just gave Maurice Jones-Drew a new 4-year deal.

Is Adam Schefter heading to ESPN?

I’m not sure if that last comment really violated any specific guidelines, but it has to be close, so I just took it out on the side of caution.

On another note, good job on the new sig. I just saw that commercial for the first time this morning.

Ah my bad dude. Didn't think it'd be offensive

there’s a story to my sig. I was checking my cars oil and Ktown was next to me. I told him I need to buy more oil and he asked, “what kind of oil?” so I just said engine oil. He then yells “what, you think all synthetic oils are the same?” I didn’t know where he going with it because I never seen the commercial so i say “uhh I guess”.

so later on, I’m getting ready to go to the store, I see my car’s hood open, so I bend over to see if anything is missing and at that moment, I get a text message from an unknown number that says “think with your dipstick Jimmy” I swear the moment I get finished reading it, Ktown comes out of nowhere and I get cracked in my back with my own dipstick. It didn’t hurt(I use to do backyard and underground wrestling, I’ve been hit with much worse things) but I was pissed that oil was on my shirt.

I’m yelling at Ktown and he’s just sitting there laughing, high off his ass. so later on that night, I’m sitting in front of the TV trying to scrub the oil off my shirt, and low and behold, the commercial comes on. I couldn’t freaking stop myself from laughing and told Ktown that’s my new sig on WCG.

But that was a while ago. an early April fools joke I assume, since he finds any excuse to act like a five-year-old.

Be nice. Flag comments that you think are offensive. Use the "reply" button. Drink plenty of water. Compliment others. Rec comments and posts you like. Don't call people names. If you don't like someone's comment, attack the comment and not the commentor. Learn the difference in your/you're, then/than, to/too. Exercise. Relax. Stretch often. Find good in the world.

I just had to wreck this

1. Because it’s hilarious.
2 Because it has to be true.
3. You found a way to working in backyard and underground wrestling on a Bears blog.
4 It wasn’t a dream about you taking a dump.

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 agree with David Haugh and Jerry

You should not fixate over one postion in the draft as teams tend to reach when they do. If there is a higher rated player when they draft they should draft that player. Though WR is a major need and I feel they should sign T. Holt to fill need and if a WR falls that they rate high they should draft. I think there will be an O-Lineman that drops or maybe a WR and either one would be fine with me. You can never have to much depth on either line. Very rarely does a rookie WR make any impact one a year maybe. Baring a trade you take best player available.

Haugh drives me insane

with his ability to change his perspective every day on what the Bears should do with their draft picks. Everyone’s got an opinion, sure, and everyone is allowed to change them. But he flat out starts that article by insulting Bear fans who think WR is the position to focus on … which, IMO it is.

While I agree, signing Holt would be a HUGE boost and would buy us some time at the position and allow the Bears to draft a WR in the later rounds, IF he does not sign here where does that leave us? Exactly – in need of an impact WR. It doesn’t have to be a fixation, but it needs to be a high priority and filling that priority in the second round makes sense to me and I think makes sense to others on this blog.

LOL. +1

To the original comment above: if you agree with Haugh today… you’ll probably disagree with him tomorrow when he flip flops. LOL.

Best Player Available

I tend to agree that locking into addressing WR at 49 is the wrong plan. There is always a chance that the next Randy Moss or Jerry Rice could drop down to this level, but the Bears shouldn’t be so locked into WR that they miss picking the next Ronnie Lott or Ed Reed.

Finding the best athlete is always the best plan. WR, S, DE and T are all positions in which the Bears would be dramatically improved with a pro-bowl player. I tend to lean towards Safety being the key to improving the defense and the team, but if the choice is drafting grade C talent for need and Grade B by availability, I’d go grade B every time.

Greatest need

WR is undoubtedly the Bears greatest need, but reaching for one with marginal talent won’t help them out. The best rule of thumb is to always take the BPA. FS is just as much of a need, and if Johnson is available at #49 I don’t see him passing on him. If Robiskie falls to them, I see JA drafting Clemons in the 3rd.

I’ll kick myself once someone tells me, but I can’t place her.

What’s AVP? Sounds like the acronym for the professional volleyball league.
