2010-11 Chicago Bears: The Last Time You'll See Utler Alive

[SKO]

Taylor Mays (SS) and Jon Asamoah (G) are still available halfway through the 2nd round. It can't cost that much for the Bears to try and get in position to draft one of these guys. Both are easily guys who could start this year at the two biggest holes on the team.

DPD. The Panthers take Jimmy Clausen. That's no fun. Even Jimmy Clausen can't make me give a shit enough about the Panthers to hate them. I was Really hoping the Vikings would take him.

Scratch Taylor Mays off your list.

Damnit. 49ers have had a very blue collar draft. Tackle, Guard, Safety. With an upgraded offensive line, a full year of Grabtree, and Frank Gore, Alex Smith has no excuse for sucking. He still will, though.

True or False: Barring injury, Major Wright will start at safety on Week 1.

True.  He is going to be really good for the Bears.  If he learns to not gamble as much, he can be Nick Collins type of a player.

Oh, great. So he's got a gambling problem?

He's a defensive Tim Tebow!

The commenters took it from there...

An overrated one-dimensional player with a niche set of skills suited only for a system tailored to maximize those traits while covering up glaring holes?

by the headline i thought you meant he has alot of work to do before he could ever start at his position in the NFL.

Great comparison. When I saw the title I thought "So he's a right wing religious nut who can't play his own position and was drafted far too high."

So, Northwestern dorks, is Wootton any good?

Even though I'm not his biggest fan as he's a bit frustrating, here's a cool story about Kevin Payne's draft day weekend.

So, Northwestern dorks, is Wootton any good?

Yes.  He was going to come out last year (projected as a late first rounder), but then he destroyed his knee during the Alamo Bowl.  Last year he was playing at about 85%, but is apparently now fully healed.  Coach Washington was his coach at NU, so he knows him well.  We'll see.

Reading that I'm once again reminded of how much all the players seem to adore Lovie Smith. Julius Peppers could barely order all those bottles of bubbly with Lovie's dong hanging out of his mouth when he signed. I've never heard a player on any team say anything bad about him ever. I know, the same is probably also true of Dick Jauron and Dusty Baker.

I'm off of Lovie's bandwagon for now and have been since the end of 2008. But damn, I don't mind rooting for him one more time and hoping he can get the elevator headed back upstairs to prove turds like me wrong about him.
