WHarris1 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 02:07 PM) Oops, my bad. No worries, I honestly thought I had just missed something entirely anyways. As far as the Bears and WRs go, I feel like while we would obviously benefit from landing a standout FA WR, if we were to solidify the offensive line our offense would benefit far more.

Soxbadger Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Id be fine taking Roy Williams the WR. He just never will be the Roy Williams, that will always be the one who played for Oklahoma and was supposed to redefine the Safety position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering why you asked about the Bears safety depth, it did seem like a bit of a random question, lol. Never even thought about Roy Williams the defensive back.

RockRaines Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 From the OSU grapevine it appears Dane only signed because the Bears arent adding depth to the WR position. So I guess its confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowand44 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jul 26, 2011 -> 11:30 AM) This is getting ugly. Bengals owner Mike Brown finally acknowledged Tuesday that Carson Palmer has retired from football. Palmer would be willing to play if the Bengals traded him, but Brown reiterated that won't happen. "Carson signed a contract, he made a commitment," said Brown. "He gave us his word. ... We expected him to perform here. If he is going to walk away from his commitment we aren’t going to reward him for doing it." It's nice to see Brown finally concede the obvious, but it doesn't mean he's any less stubborn. It's a shame for a player with 2-3 halfway decent seasons left. Palmer was horrendous last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were rumors about Cullen Jenkins earlier. Rumers now about Jason Babin and Brandon Mebane. Mike Sims-Walker. Sidney Rice. It's going to be nutty. Sims-Walker would be a good fit for the Bears. He would actually look like a #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zenryan Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) I was somewhat surprised to read that only 57 undrafted free agents made the opening day roster last year in the NFL. We always hear about these hidden gems that fell through the cracks and while that is true for a handful or so, most will be nothing more than practice players filling in for a roster spot here and there. NFL.com had an analyst do a top 20 list of UFA's. Top 20 undrafted free agents not loaded with sudden impact The lockout has made this a difficult and trying offseason for college players who went undrafted. Rookie free agents are some of the players who benefit the most from the offseason team activities that take place in May and June. Because those didn't happen, it's unlikely an undrafted free agent this season will have the impact LeGarrette Blount had with the Buccaneers last season. As you look over my list of the top 20 available UFAs, keep this in mind: The two positions that are the easiest to come in and play right away are running back and cornerback; the two most difficult are quarterback and wide receiver. With running backs, the hardest thing they have to learn is blitz pick-up, but otherwise the learning curve is by far the easiest. With corners, the learning process is not as great as it is at other defensive positions. A guy who is athletic and knows how to break on the ball has the chance to play early. It's difficult for receivers because of the multitude of coverages they see and the split-second decisions they have to make each down. And obviously, the learning curve for quarterbacks is extremely high. One thing going in their favor, however, is how much passing is dominating the game in college, so the transition is easier now than it was 10 years ago, as Sam Bradford showed last season. Here are the top 20 undrafted free agents who will be snatched up in short order: 1. Pat Devlin, QB, Delaware: Has size needed to succeed at the position, to go with accuracy and football intelligence. Unlock HQ Video HQ video delivered by Akamai 2. Mark Herzlich, LB, Boston College: His battle against cancer is well documented and speaks to his hunger to play. If healthy, he can play all downs. 3. Derrick Locke, RB, Kentucky: Has quickness and speed needed for success at running back. 4. DeAndre McDaniel, S, Clemson: Has all the traits needed to be a good safety. 5. Jake Kirkpatrick, C, TCU: A former high school basketball player who is strong and smart and has traits that remind some of Colts veteran Jeff Saturday. 6. Mario Fannin, RB, Auburn: Oustanding speed and pass-catching ability. Makes a lot of plays. 7. Nick Bellore, LB, Central Michigan: Very competitive linebacker. One of the all-time top tacklers in the MAC. Great special teams player. 8. Willie Smith, OT, East Carolina: Smart offensive tackle with long arms and good athletic ability. Excellent pass blocker. 9. Ray Dominguez, G, Arkansas: Strong guard who has the chance to start for someone in his second year. 10. Brandon Bair, DT, Oregon: Needs to add weight but has the frame to do so. Very active. 11. Sealver Siliga, DT, Utah: Strong at the point of attack and reminds some of another Utah product, Dolphins defensive tackle Paul Soliai. 12. Dane Sanzenbacher, WR, Ohio State: Slot receiver who will catch the ball across the middle and has outstanding hands. 13. Kendric Burney, CB, North Carolina: Lacks great speed but makes up for it with quickness and ball skills. Very good tackler. Unlock HQ Video HQ video delivered by Akamai 14. John Clay, RB, Wisconsin: Strong, inside runner in the mold of Blount. 15. Ian Williams, DT, Notre Dame: A four-year starter at Notre Dame who is very strong and athletic. 16. Ricardo Lockette, WR, Fort Valley State: Teams love speed, and he is the fastest player available of all undrafted free agents. 17. Scott Tolzien, QB, Wisconsin: Smart quarterback with good but not great arm. Has been very successful with accuracy and ability to hit the right receivers. 18. Noel Devine, RB, West Virginia: Not tall, has great speed, production and hands. Possible WR/KR prospect. 19. Kyle Hix, OT, Texas: Long arms, very strong. Doesn't have good enough feet to play LT but could be good on right side. 20. Zach Hurd, G, Connecticut: He played guard at UConn but his best position might be as a RT because of his size and strength. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d820e...h-sudden-impact Edited July 27, 2011 by zenryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
