Yes. We can get a running back in a later round. It's an expendable position anyway.

Just caught Wannstedt on CSN and he just said he thinks Tampa is taking Marcus Mariota over Winston tomorrow. He was coaching there just a couple seasons ago and knows them well.. it would be shocking.

I was hoping maybe MM falls to us. Be a no brainer. if not we have to go defense.

Good read on dabearsblog.com about trading back. I think Bears go Beasley or White/Cooper. If they are all gone I see them trading back. I hope for a trade back.

If that happens, then there's no way Winston gets past Tennessee at 2.

Totally agree. Wanny just said he thinks the owners will dictate that move. They don't want Winston to be the face of the their franchise right now. Feel he's too much of a risk.

Bears taking calls for Martellus Bennett. I wonder what they could get for him? A 3rd round pick?

Hopefully some type of middle round pick. They're not going to give him a new contract.

Give me White or Beasley (Cooper and Williams will be gone). If not trade back and take Shelton, Waynes, or best Olineman

I'd if it's be announced but I think we might be signing Tony Pierson out of Kansas

james jones got cut which surprised the hell out of me. he'd be a great addition.

Is Goodley available? He's fast, strong and has reliable hands. He'd be a good understudy to Royal.

Bears are really beefing up the oline depth. They added Cornick from the Broncos off of waivers.

Looks like it's more and more likely he gets traded and I hope we are in the mix. I think he can be had for a second or third

patryk7754 · Post #1934 » by **patryk7754** » Mon May 11, 2015 3:12 pm

Kyle Arrington and DJ Swearinger would be great additions for us.

Stealing scouts from successful teams can never be a bad move.

Also, I read that Vic Fangio likes Shea Mcclellin.

Maybe a good defensive coach can actually get something out of him this year. Here's hoping anyways.

What would it take to get Wilkerson? I would give up a 2nd

Post #1938 » by **emperorjones** » Thu May 28, 2015 12:34 am

Bennett looks like a holdout. I wonder if we could swing Wilkerson for Bennett? The Jets are overloaded at DT and need more offensive weapons.

heir_jordan22 · Post #1939 » by **heir_jordan22** » Sun May 31, 2015 3:58 am

Bennett for Wilkerson probably wouldn't be a good deal for them because they have a bunch of weapons now and Wilkerson is definitely better at his position than Bennett is at his.

But if we do trade Bennett I really hope Zach Miller steps up as a receiving threat.

I was reading that they needed more offense...but I don't follow them so I'd have no clue
