I know it might be a little early for this.

I think they'll most definitely look at taking a TE in the 1st round. i.e. Mercedes Lewis, Vernon Davis, Leonard Pope.

 

Also, look for them to take an OL or two at some point in the draft. They need to stockpile for the future w/ our OL being fairly old.

 

Lastly, if Azumah isn't resigned, then I think they'll take a CB somewhat early to take his spot.

 

Greatest need = TE and OL

Medium need = WR, LB, QB

Least need = S, DL, HB, FB, K, P

Vernon Davis please.

^^^^^^^^

dude is workout freak who still produces on the field. 6-3, 253 lbs. 4.4 speed and only 3% body fat. He is what this offense needs to go to the next level meaning top 15 in the league. We have a great O-line, plenty of RB's and our receivers are starting to look like something. Gage and Berrain have emerged as solid #3's. Moose is still pretty good despite the drops this year. We need a #2, is that Bradley coming off injury or do we need to add someone else?

From the sounds of it Davis and Lewis would both be an impact TE so I dont really care which one we get as long as 1 of them fall to us. If we can actually have a weapon at that position our offense might actually be pretty good especially with the recent emergence of Gage/Berrian.

Yeah I think Desmond Clark needs to go or move to back up. Why have the Bears never (in recent history anyways) properly emphasized the TE position? You would think a ball control team that passes conservatively would value the spot. Pittsburgh didn't always but looked what Heath Miller did for them. I think they won't draft Lewis due to his blocking issues but it wouldn't stop me from taking him

If Texas wins, then Vince is gone. But otherwise I don't see him leaving, as Mack managed to keep guys like Derrick Johnson, and Cedric Benson 4 years.

 

As for where he would go, I would think both the Jets and the Raiders would give him a look before Arizona could get to him. Even the Saints could be interested in him if he has a great combine.

The Raiders would love Leinart, but I don't see him lasting to the 6th pick. If he does it would be a mistake cause the guys going to be a darn good pro qb.

I know I'm just about alone, but I'm far from sold on Matt Leinart. He's had ridiculous weapons at USC, doesn't have anything more than average arm strength, and gets most of his compliments on his "intagibles". Basing a top 5 pick on "intagibles" really bothers me. I've seen scouts stating he's the next Tom Brady, but along with the heart, Tom also has a very nice arm to get the ball to the receivers. I've seen too many lefties come into the league being touted as the next Steve Young, with only average arm strength, and totally bust. Even Chris Simms had a stronger arm coming out.

 

I'm not saying Leinart will be a bust, I just don't think he's worthy of a top 3 pick, if he fell to 6 with the Raiders, I think it would work out well for everyone. Honestly, I think his stock will fall a little at the combines which could put him available for the Raiders.

Aaron Rogers was projected to be a possible top 5 pick as well, and look what happened to him. If a team doesn't have a huge need for a quarterback, they may be better off trying to just sign one or trade for one (given the Rivers/Brees situation) and figure they're going to improve more with the pro-bowl Lineman or linebacker or whatever else.

I keep reading about Jay Cutler and how everyone is falling in love with this guy. Could he jump ahead of Leinhart?

No because I think that Leinart is oen of the rare guys who a fanbase will not allow you to pass on. If Leinart or Bush fail, fans will understand. If you pass on them and they turn out great, your fanbase will never allow you to forget it. I know thats probably not the best way to go about making a pick but it is indeed a factor

a lot of people are saying that Leinhart is the next Tom Brady. I am not sure about that but he will be a very good QB.
