Free Agency Rumors and Discussion

I doubt they draft someone at 11 to be a backup unless it is a QB for a year.

 

[zabavka]

Right now I look at the Bears CB group as being

1. Fuller
2. Porter
3. ____________________
4. Callahan
5. McManis

Could really use a Hayward or Robinson to possibly play the slot and be the primary backup.

Still like Heyward. He'd fit the slot well

That empty slot will get filled with a draft pick, imo. I like the cb depth in this draft and Chicago happens to have a need for a young corner.

 

[Urblock]

Ares will set you on fire.

3rd CB is practically a starter anyways.

Did you know that Fuller literally stole the starting job from the awesome Jennings? Literally.

 

[WindyCity]

They could easily draft the 3rd CB, as a NB and long term replacement for Porter.

But if they sign a guy like Hayward, they can move the draft to focus on DL and S.

If Hargraves somehow drops to 11, Pace paying Porter something like #40 CB money would not likely preclude him from have his guy sprint to the podium. Not sure what NFL you have been watching.

Assuming that the Bears sign Hicks I still see a need for 4 starters, which is rich for a draft.

That is a little skewed as there are not 12 starters. I see the point though.

If they draft Hargraves, he is playing on the outside. They would have to move Porter.

You don't think Timu can fill that ILB spot.

 

[WindyCity]

You don't think Timu can fill that ILB spot.

I don't want to hand it to him.

So let's assume you use a decent pick on an ILB to compete with Timu and he the primary backup up.

You would still need one for

S
CB
DE

TE

I really feel if they land Hicks they still need to plug one more hole before the draft.

He left the other LB spot open for Shea

Yeah we're in clear need of another legit CB. We need to remember Porter's injury history. I don't ever wanna see McManis playing anything other than special teams. I did like some things that Callahan did with his minimal time at NB but if i remember correctly he's on the short side and he's a UDFA. I would love for them to get P.Robinson but he was on a one year prove it deal last year and i guess he played pretty well so he's probably looking for a 4/5 year deal and i don't think Pace will give that long a contract out after signing Porter to 3 years. We definitely need help at CB.

LOL
Right? Who says that?

Well there was interest in the CB position from Pace so he knows we have a need but i'm hoping he doesn't thinks he filled it with Porter. Pace is a smart man and if we see the need then there's no way he doesn't see it. We still have plenty of money left and 9 draft picks so i'm sure we'll be bringing at least two in in free agency and the draft.

 

[dafridge72]

I would Hargreaves at 11, but I am not sure he gets past Philly at 8 imo

I know Bears fans don't see it but i still think A.Rolle can give us a good season at SS. He was injured pretty much all of last year so he obviously will need to stay healthy but if he does then i think he'll be just fine at SS. Now i'm not saying i wouldn't love to upgrade at SS and have my eye on Miles Killebrew in the draft but i am saying if it comes down to Rolle as our starting SS i won't be as worried as most Bears fans.

Yeah he'd move to NB.
