whitesoxbrian Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Pace reportedly recruiting Holt to come here. I'd love Holt. He's an older guy who still has some left in the tank and he can mentor guys like Hester. I have the 2006 Bears season DVD and in the Rams game Holt is mic'd and he loves Hester. Also, by getting Holt, this allows the Bears to do FS then DE or vice versa in the first 2 rounds and no WR until rounds 4 or 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilJester99 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 There was talk on the Afternoon Saloon that supposedly Holt didn't want to come to the Bears.... but that may have been b4 the Cutler trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, that report came out just after the trade but I really think it was a quote from Holt's agent prior to the trade. I really believe if the Bears offer fair money (ie, they don't expect some serious discount) and Lovie, Pace, and Cutler put out a welcome committee than he's Chicagos. I really hope so at least. I also know Hester is campaigning for Holt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 And on the subject of the Bears, don't count them out of draft-day dealing. General manager Jerry Angelo says the team already is discussing scenarios in which it can move up from its 17th spot in the second round to acquire a "bubble first-rounder" early in the second round. Angelo also is open to the possibility of moving down if the round does not break right. You got to admire the boldness. My guess is any move up would be to acquire a WR or tackle. Pompei later speculates how the Bears are very interested in Robisnkie. Robinskie definately would be a nice fit along with Bennett and Hester. My guess is that if they trade up, its to target a 1st round tackle that slides or to grab a WR like Robinskie/Nicks. Otherwise I could very well see them trading down if Britts/Robinski/Nicks are off the board (this would be easier to do if the Bears sign Holt cause they'd have even less pressure to grab a WR super early and could make adjustments of what they picked based upon the way the draft unfolds).

Robinske will be a player in the league. I love the fact that his father is a WR coach, and that he was a ball boy and got a chance to watch pro-WR growing up. I think we should take this kid or make a minor trade to be able to pick him -- if possible. He's like 6'3 and will RUN GOOD ROUTES!!!! he might not have Heyward-Bey speed, but he has size and the knowledge to make an immediate impact. You also have to admire the fact that he played on the big stage at OSU and played against good in conference and out of conference defenses.

His routes arent that great, but his speed is underrated and he has good hands, not great, but good. He would be a pretty good #2 or #3 for a team.
