....it's the most wonderful time of the year.
In The Den
Chicago Tribune
Stafford and the Lions have come to a 6-year deal. Click on for details.
David Haugh believes that the Bears should pursue Anquan Boldin. Duh.
Dan Pompei made some calls and makes his final mock draft.
Click on this link. Sir Jay did an interview with a newspaper about his drinking. Make sure to take a look at the title...big kudos to Vaughn for spelling it out to us.
Roger Goodell wants all the attention on him and not on Twitter. I summed up this article for you.
Ole Miss WR Mike Wallace let out that the Bears might pick him at #49. If he did get picked at #49, it would be very bad for my liver.
Chicago Sun Times
Eastern Illinois DE Pierre Walters is getting some late interest from the Bears.
Brad Biggs need #2: Free Safety.
Biggs takes a look at how the current Bears were constructed.
Expiring contracts at the end of next year may affect how the Bears draft, specifically at defensive end.
Notre Dame FS David Bruton is another fella that could be drafted by the Bears.
Biggs picks two players for the top two Bears picks. Take a looksie.
Biggs surmises that Boldin will be traded, and the price is right for the Bears.

There are about $7 Million Reasons
Per year… and another reason… 7 years… the number of years a player drafted would play in the NFL before he reaches Boldin’s current age.
Me, I would give a #2 in a heartbeat for AB, but there are reasons why a “draft oriented” team might not.

I read today
that his agent want’s a 6 year contract at 9 to 10 Mil. a year. That is why teams are balking.

WE WANT BOLDIN
we should really pursue a trade for a proven wide receiver like boldin and win it now and repeat next year

Improvement Noted
NFC North QBs: 2008;
Dan Orlovsky, Daunte Culpepper, Kyle Orton, Tavaris Jackson, Gus Frerotte, Sage Rosenfels, Aaron Rodgers
NFC North QBs: 2009;
Matt Stafford, Jay Cutler, Sage Rosenfels, Aaron Rodgers
Say what you want about Stafford (while the $41.7 mil guaranteed is beyond ridiculous, I think he’s a much safer pick than Sanchez, who strikes me as living off the USC mystique) – but when your options are Dan Orlovsky and the long-done Daunte Culpepper, I mean,. what are they going to do – go 0 – 16?
Now, they might want to spend every other pick fixing up that historically bad defense, but this pick is defensible.
Insert clever and witty remark slash pun here!

Don't downgrade Culpepper
Reports are that he’s back down to his rookie playing weight of around 260… after getting all the way up to around 290.

Movement to make Jeff Samardzija our closer!

Interesting
We should trade up, get the pick, and trade it to AZ with Hillenmeyer for Boldin ;)

maybe we keep it depending on who is there

That's what I was thinking
maybe we can grab a pass rusher. or if a WR is still on the board. I’m no longer sold on DHB anymore so I’m thinking Nicks or a pass rusher. then couple that with Ramses Barden.

I like the way you think
Barden is underrated, so is turner. So pass rusher 1 barden 3rd turner 4th, and then secondary the rest.

yep
I like to look at production in college before physical attributes. Barden scored 18 touchdowns consecutive seasons. that’s good no matter where he played or who he played against.
Profootballtallk.com had an article on how DB could be the next Troy Williamson. It’s a very compelling piece.

Isn't it funny
that there have been no reports out that the Bears are not interested in Boldin? maybe that’s because they are?

pick #23 has Percy Harvin all over it
that’d be great if the Bears trade for this pick and draft Harvin..

Damn!
there’s a thought. I wonder if we could get away with that.

You know...
The pays secondary is terrible… They may take our second and vash, then we could trade our first and hillenmeyer and next years 5th/escalator for boldin.
Awww, man what am I supposed to do about my sig now?

I thought the pats went shopping for secondary this off season

this is true
but Vasher is still better than the lot that they picked up. If I remember correctly, I think a 3-4 defense requires a lot more DBs on the roster than 4-3 defenses.

True it so hard to judge pats
Beli always gets the best out of them, second rate 3rd rate look like first rate w/him

One guy I wouldn't mind seeing with the second rounder
is Pat Chung. Good tackler, decent range, high intensity, character and intelligence. Reminds me a little of Mike Brown in that regard. The fact that we might be able to get Barden with our pseudo-third rounder makes it even more palatable.
Between Payne and Chung, that gives us a lot of nasty hitting over the middle. If Ramses can play, that would give us a combination of speed and size, the gamble being that Earl can manage the slot. God knows he can’t be worse than Rasheed (my nickname for him is flipper – because apparently that’s what is addended to his wrist).
Get me a safety who can hit and cover, a reciever with size and hands. I could live with that.
Happy draft day everybody.

yep
that is what i hope we get @ #49 if Robiskie is already gone ( which he will be) so yeah draft Patrick Chung !!!!!
Is it August yet???

It's funny-
like everybody, I’m totally thrilled about getting Cutler. Absolutely pro-trade, and with no reservations. But I’m still a defense first guy. I want to see hitters out there. The idea of throwing Bullocks out there – who couldn’t even start for New Orleans – really gets me nervous. It’s, well, it’s bollocks.

Why the Hate for Wallace?
I guess I have heard he’d be a better pick in round 3 so I suppose it’d be better to go D than to reach for him in the second.
by GallopingGhost on Apr 25, 2009 11:13 AM CDT reply actions 0 recs
He'd be a huge reach at our spot
And we can’t afford huge reaches with our draft picks.
