Vaughn McClure holds out some hope, bringing up the fact that many
thought the Bears wouldn't pull the trigger on Cutler.

In the Vicinity of the Den
Lance Briggs is adding a new skill to his talent set, which should really set him apart: Levitation.
Nowhere Near the Den
I appreciate the fact that these guys are kids and I will also give them the benefit of the doubt and say it was all just a joke. However, in today's age, you have to know something like this is a) wrong, but b) it will come out when people start digging. This isn't a new process anymore.

FIRST!
Oh, sorry… forgot where I was. I like Ogletree. A lot. He was my sleeper WR in this draft. No on has been talking about him too much, and he has pretty much flown under the radar. He had a year of eligibility let at Virginia, and would have benefitted from 1 more year in school (although, he is finished with classes).
Good size, great speed, and good hands. Is a little raw in a couple areas, but nothing he can’t learn quickly with a good WR coach, and stable QB. He isn’t the best blocker in the world, and I saw him drop a few balls at Virginia… but I also saw him make some huge plays on a terrible offense. I’d love to have this kid, but his injury history may scare Jerry away.

Hopfully... when the Bears make their first selection with #49
They stick to their “board” and take the best guy available, regardless of position.
If they list their top 49 players… and say, for some reason the guy ranked 25th is still on the board… then, you take him.

Yeah. At this point
anybody’s fair game. I think any WR we pick, Cutler is gonna turn em into a star.

Yep
with your first pick, get a guy who can play.
Because when it comes to sports, we die harder than Bruce Willis.

I'd be fine with Ogletree
He is flying under the radar but I like the reports on him.

For Picks
Is there anybody that you would like to see the Bears trade, that is actually worth decent (2nd or3rd round) picks? Just curious to see opinions.
If you live in Chicago you are a bears fan, if you move from chicago you stay a bears fan, if you move to chicago you will be a bears fan.

The Bears have 8 picks in this draft...
That’s a good number for a 7 round draft. So, I don’t anticipate them dealing away a player they might need, for an extra pick.

sure
I understand that, just thinking with all of the talk of them moving up, what kind of senario might work out.

If they were to trade a player
I would be ok w/ Vasher, he would be worth something, probably a 3rd or 4th.

If Britt and Robiskie
are both gone at 49 take the BA on defense. I would love to see Ron Brace fall there. Were not really in bad shape at safety because Steltz and Payne are just entering their second year and Glenn Earl was a starter for the Texans until he got hurt. John Hoke wouldn’t have brought him in if he didn’t have confidence in him.

Well
I agree with your first point. But bringing someone in because the coaches have confidence in him rings hollow for me. After all, this is the same coaching group that brought in Adam Archuleta.

John Hoke
was the DBs coach in Texas when he got hurt. He has had two years to heal. It was the same injury that Kevin Jones had.

John Hoke
what kind of things does he bring to the table?

ya know
I dont remember or recal texans having a stellar secondary. I am just asking, I could be way off.

the secondary was solid
wasn’t spectacular, but looked horrible due to the front seven not being able to pressure QBs.

That's it exactly
If the line can’t present pressure no secondary is going to look great.

Thank ya sir!
If your friend does that to you, I sure hope he’s nice enough to wipe the oil off first. Took me two damn days to get it of my shirt!

Hi guys,
Once again the topic is the draft and everyone is getting excited. I Know I am because you guys will keep me up to date! Your draft will be great and the fact that you don’t have any #1 picks is a plus (neither do the cowboys-after paying 1.5 billion for that stadium we’re glad!). Who is the one player in this draft that has chicago talking? Now keep in mind about the position you will pick from and give me the low down. I still see them taking a receiver-I just really like the kid from Missouri. How about Crosby from Texas-he played with Colt McCoy and made an impact. If no receiver is taken, then who do you want next. I’m dying to know!
Guys,
FYI Notice:
I went on the bears website to check out the latest info and came across the post “Well Bears here you go…v2.” I thought that i was going to get a good and upbeat article , but it was completely different and I’m the first post on it and I had to let him know how I felt. Jay is your qb and he’s trying to start a new life and there’s always somebody who wants to kill the fun-don’t let it happen. If you’re calling Jay names then call Elway names because he bailed on the colts in order to play for the broncos. That really upset me because what he did in Denver is over-leave it alone.Guys, take the time to read and digest it. As you know, I’m a cowboys gal through and through but I had to say something. Why can’t people just leave him alone and get on with their lives. THAT’S YOUR QUARTERBACK-IT STILL SOUNDS GREAT! Hope to hear from you soon with those draft answers!
Needagoodtime!
