Drafting a WR at 8 would be a mistake. Too many other needs on this team with a FA market that has tons of talent as well as scheme fit for the Bears at WR.

If Lee can break out the way R.Woods did getting out of Buffalo and going to the Rams out of the slot then i hope to hell we sign M.Lee cause Woods was great this year.
It sounds like M.Crabtree might get cut so we could sign him and go with the bigger go up and get it guys on the outside with Crabtree and Meredith and sign M.Lee to play slot or go big and sign Landry and Crabtree. No telling what Crabtree would be looking for in a free agent deal though. He's still just 30 but will be 31 in Sept so he'd be like a Sanders where i wouldn't want to sign him to more than 2 years but i'm sure he'd be wanting 4 years so maybe we could meet at 3 years with him.
M.Crabtree
C.Meredith
M.Lee/P.Richardson/A.Wilson
Draft 4th round--DJ Chark/M.Ateman/M.Gallup
K.White
J.Bellamy
M.Crabtree
C.Meredith
2nd round--C.Kirk/J.Washington
Jaron Brown
K.White
J.Bellamy
Or we hit free agency for everything but WR and go WR strong in the draft.
Bring back K.Fuller on the tag which i think is around $14 mil if we can't get him signed long term.
We keep the band together for one more year with the o-line and keep both Sitton and Massie to go with C.Leno, C.Whitehair, K.Long and go hard at o-line next offseason.
We spend around $15 mil for two of:
A.Okafor
A.Clayborn
J.Attoachu
C.Barwin
A.Lynch
J.Galette
Get a CB to play opposite K.Fuller or juts keep Cooper and let E.Donatell get the best out of him. If we cut Coop then sign a starting CB for around what we paid Prince at $7 mil.
P.Amukamara
EJ Gaines
B.Breeland
D.Amerson--who we just had in for a visit
Get a legit ILB to take the place of J.Freeman and to play for Trevathon when he gets hurt for around $5 mil.
N.Bowmann please--The Fangio link
D.Davis
P.Brown
Go WR in the 1st and 2nd round and get any of these two whether we trade down in the 1st round or not.
C.Ridley
C.Kirk
J.Washington
C.Sutton
A.Miller

There isn't tons of talent at WR in free agency without legit question marks about each one. The only one i would have very minimal question marks about is J.Landry but the price to get him is somewhat scary.

My understanding is Landry is primarily a slot WR. I don't see the Bears investing a ton of money into him or the position because it could take away from the reps and effectiveness of both Landry(if signed) and Cohen. It just doesn't make sense at this point. If we didn't have Cohen then it would make more sense. I see the Bears investing in outside WR's and maybe re-signing Wright to split reps with Cohen in the slot when he is positioned there.

Like what? There are no OLB that are better then Ridley as prospects assuming Chubb is gone. You could make a case for a Guard that the team doesn’t need or a Fitzpatrick that the team doesn’t need if we re sign Fuller and Prince.
Make a case for any player in the draft having a bigger impact immediately then Ridley.
The only player I would rather have is Barkley and he isn’t a need but is a level above everyone else in this draft.

Salary may be equal, but endorsement potential is much bigger in Chicago

That seems too sensical for CCS.
The Cam love is somewhat misplaced anyway. He's a UDFA with a flash in the pan season that wasn't even that big of a flash. There's zero guarantee on anything with him, he has no form to return to. He's not an irreplaceable commodity at this point.
The way CCS works I'm amazed his fumble costing the game isn't stuck in minds more than his TDs.

Long just had 3 surgeries and Sitton is old as fuck so I don’t see how they don’t need a guard or C to slide whitehair to guard. Edmunds is young and is a great prospect, and Davenport is intriguing. Neither amukamara or fuller have been signed, and even so amukamara is underwhelming and injury prone so best DB available is also interesting choice.
Barkley is the best player in the draft and obviously won’t be there.
Ridley is a good prospect but to say it’s an obvious choice is wrong.

Setting QB, Barkley,Chubb and Fitz aside, here is how I look at 8 assuming they all do great at the combine.
This high up its only QB, edge rusher, LT, WR, RB/CB in that order so throw out QB, LT, RB.
1 Davenport
2 Edmunds if they think he can be an edge rusher
3 Ridley
4 Hughes/Jackson if they run sub 4.4

Long was playing with the need for surgeries. I would hope the surgeries make him better not worse.

Yeah me too but you still need to recover from those surgeries. It's foolish to say - "well we don't know what Meredith will be he is just coming off of ACL surgery" and then in the same breath say "well Long just had surgery so he will come back stronger"
We don't know what either of these guys will be coming back. Even so, lets say Long comes back 100% you still have Sitton who is nearing the end of his tenure as a Bear and potentially the end of his career as a football player. Taking the best O Line prospect with pick #8 should not be out of the picture.

I'm surprised nobody is talking about Anthony Miller from Memphis as a draft possibility. Dude is gonna be a steal in the mid rounds of the draft. He reminds me of Antonio Brown.

What would I do at WR?
Not much, given I'm 5'5" and 44 years old...

In regards to FAs, you are right on when you say get WRs who are extremely dependable, with no recent durability issues!
But that's exactly why we cannot sign Brice Butler. Brice is not dependable... neither in his life-time (including recent) injury history, nor in his reception reliability. (*)
I'm totally in favor of signing Landry and getting a 4th Rd WR, and I know we should sign an outside WR, preferably with speed to stretch the field, but it has to be a rock solid dependable and durable WR! (as we'll already have doubts about White & Meredith).
Hopefully the 4th Rd WR will be an outside WR with speed. And we have to remember we'll have Meredith and White on the roster who are outside WRs (if they're able to take the field). And there's a good chance we'll have Bellamy, who can play outside.
In regards to dependable & durable WRs, I just assume we re-sign Wright, along with signing Landry. It's not like we can't have two solid slot WRs, and Wright won't be expensive. Also sign that dependable outside FA. Bellamy is not at all a requirement.
WR - 6
Meredith
White
Landry
Wright
4th Rd
FA dependable outside WR
(Bellamy)
We re-sign Bellamy (2017 was 1yr/$775k), and see what shakes down at final roster cut time.
(*) Butler 2015: hamstring 6 Gs limited, 12 Rec. 2016: inconsistency problems, untimely penalties, 16 Rec. 2017: foot injury missed 3 Gs, 15 Rec.

That's my guy. I've been talking this kid up for a while but i guess i haven't brought him up in a minute, still love him though especially at pick #39. I think i've just become a bigger fan of a couple of other WR's is why i haven't talked about A.Miller in a while but after Ridley i love 3 kids most with A.Miller, J.Washington and C.Kirk.

As far as the national mocks have gone I have seen a really low number of WR's going in the first round, with a majority of mock drafts only projecting 2 WR's to be picked in the first.
If that ends up being there case there is a great chance a quality WR will be there at pick #39.

Love watching Miller play, he is so damn quick. I think he will blow up the combine and move up as high as the second round.

I don't know about the other surgeries but he's got plenty of time for the neck. No bone issues with that one or else I may be iffy about not knowing until right before the season.
I think they should have a good idea about how he's doing with all the surgeries before the draft.
If an Oline star is still there I'd take that over WR just because it would do more for all the WRs
