Here’s your 2014 NFL Draft baseline: http://www.rotoworld.com/articles/cfb/44905/325/nfl-draft-prospects-top-32

Bears’ needs for 2014:
QB (re-sign Cutler?)
LG (re-sign Slauson?)
C
TE (Bennett compliment)
DE (Peppers replacement)
DT (re-sign Melton?)
CB (Tillman, Jennings and Bowman are all free agents)
FS
SS
Ryno, in your opinion, where will the value be? What’s the value in Round 1? It’s a deep QB draft so there will be value in the 2nd-4th probably. How’s the CB value in this draft? S value?
MuckerQuote Reply
@ Mucker:
It’s still early, but it looks to be a deep draft for QB, OL, WR, LB and CB. I don’t like the depth for DL or S at all.
For me, there are four elite prospects (Clowney, Bridgewater, Mariota, Barr). The next tier is a fluid 20 or so, making the entire first round a pretty good spot to be (especially once QBs starting going).
Looking at your Bears needs, first priority would be to re-sign Melton.
I’ve made my stance pretty clear about WCO QBs. I don’t know how much Cutler would cost, but I’d rather use a Day 2 pick on Aaron Murray than pay Cutler. The weapons make that offense go.
12 personnel plays well in your division, so another TE is a good call. It’s too bad Colt Lyerla flipped out, but Austin Sefarian-Jenkins would fit the bill.
If you want a S or DL, you have to spend early. I think all the decent ones are gone by the end of Day 2.
Then get your OL and CBs late.

Andrew Luck, JJ Watt, Jimmy Graham, AJ Green and Muhammed Wilkerson.
And I’d give up Wilkerson if I could have Clowney.
Omar LittleQuote Reply
@ Omar Little:
That was my thinking as well. If Melton isn’t re-signed, we need to go DT early.
At Tillman’s age, I love the guy but I don’t think it’s wise to spend money on him. Re-sign Jennings, sign a cheaper option for 2nd CB and draft the NB. I think the Safeties will be fine as long as the Bears can generate a pass rush, which they haven’t been able to do this year.
I’d like to see the Bears re-sign Slauson. He’s played pretty well this year. C can be had in free agency or the draft.
I agree about Cutler. Before his injury, Cutler was looking at about $12-$15 million a year. That’s too much money considering all the holes the Bears will have. Spend the money on the Def line and secondary, have a 2 year stop-gap at QB, draft the future QB and solidfy the Off line via draft.

What’s more important in the 3-4……DE, NT, or OLB?
MuckerQuote Reply
Andrew Luck, Duane Brown, Mike Iupati, JJ Watt, Richard Sherman
Best QB in 2016, two young and incredible OL (left tackle and left guard), best DL in the game, and a great, young, corner.
MylesQuote Reply
@ Mucker:
For a 3T, watch LSU’s Anthony Johnson, AzSU’s Will Sutton and FSU’s Jernigan. Florida’s Dom Easley was my favorite before his injury. Check out last year’s film on him, though. Impressive burst. If the medicals check out, he’s an easy choice in the first.
Cover 2 CBs and WCO QBs are as easy to find as RBs. IIRC, Tillman was never all that great in coverage, but the scheme allows him to focus on turnovers.
Omar LittleQuote Reply
@ Omar Little:
I want to see the Bears move away from Cover 2 and employ a different defense. I’d like to go to a 3-4 but I don’t see that happening. I’d like to see a defense more concerned with stopping the offense rather than forcing turnovers. When the Bears don’t force turnovers, they get torched(see 49ers game last year)
MuckerQuote Reply
The Cover 2 also needs a stout defensive line. We have the worst Dline in football this year.
MylesQuote Reply
Being that Devin Hester will be a FA and Earl Bennett’s injury history, I could see the Bears taking De’Anthony Thomas in the 2nd round to be a returner and slot receiver (if he enters the draft).
I think the Bears will put the franchise tag on Cutler and draft his replacement this year, maybe McCarron.
I haven’t paid much attention to the defensive scheme for the Bears. Are they still running Cover 2?
On the DL, they obviously need more work. I think Melton, Paea, and Peppers will be starters next year. I think if they switched to a 3-4, those three would be good starting down lineman (although Paea is a little small for NT). What will they do with Wooton, McClellin, Collins?
JonKneeVQuote Reply
@ Myles:
That is correct. But if the secondary could cover well, the defensive line issues could be masked. An extra second in coverage could help the Def line tremendously. I just really hate the Bears defense. To me, it hasn’t been dominant since the first half of Week 1 2007. When I say dominant, I mean the ability to stop teams. Not force turnovers.
MuckerQuote Reply
There’s lots of talk (beyond just Urlacher’s comments) that McClellin is a OLB in a 3-4. I believe that was his position at Boise State.
JonKneeVQuote Reply
@ Mucker:
Imo, the 5-techniques (DE) make the most impact. They’re the guys eating up blocks from the T (and sometimes the G), which frees up the LBs to make plays in the backfield.
However, a true 2-gapping NT CAN make more impact by occupying multiple blockers inside (which has a ripple effect outward) or bringing inside pressure.
Omar LittleQuote Reply
@ Myles:
Tough to argue with any of that. More emphasis is being placed on inside pressure these days, so Gs and Cs are becoming more important.

Like I said yesterday, offenses are becoming more diverse. I’ll use SF for as an example. They can roll out a formation like this:
[img]http://cdn3.sbnation.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/4812199/ck_bug_eye_1.0_standard_352.0.jpg[/img]
Featuring Boldin and Vernon Davis split wide, an H-back (Vance McDonald) and a fullback next to the QB and Frank Gore in the backfield. If you want to run, you have the power personnel and you’re not tipping where the run is going. If you want to pass, you have three VERY capable receivers running routes at all depths, plus wheel or flat options in two RBs.
THIS is why scheme matters less than players on defense these days. SF runs a 3-4 base, but they played more snaps out of the nickel last season than their base alignment. You need to be as versatile on defense as you are on offense, which requires scheme-diverse players like Watt, Justin Smith, etc.

Paea is actually pretty perfect to be a NT. I hoped SF drafted him at the time. He’s nearly ideally sized, and his strength makes up for him being a few pounds light.
Corey Wootton has great length to play 5-technique, though he’d probably have to add 15 pounds or so.
And yeah, McClellan was an OLB candidate on draft day.

This is another fun formation. When they bunch/stack like this, they can confuse the DBs on who to cover, but they also like to run whams out of this (with the other stacked TE drawing the LB).
That’s one reason the 3-4 is so successful right now. You can disguise blitzes more easily.
Omar LittleQuote Reply
@ Omar Little:
Agree about Paea and Wooten. Wooten has actually played very well at the 3T filling in for Melton. He’s about 275 so if he could add 20 lbs, I think he would be a very good 5T. Paea is about 300 so if he could put on 20 lbs, I think he would be a very capable NT. A lot of people think the Bears don’t have the players to switch to a 3-4. I think they do. They have the line and would just need to add another OLB opposite McClellin. They don’t have any CBs to begin with so they can just sign and draft all 3-4 CBs. Plenty of teams make the switch in an offseason and I think the Bears could do it. Plus, DC Tucker has experience in the 3-4.

Do the Seahawks play something close to a Cover 2?
EdwinQuote Reply
@ Edwin:
They typically play cover 1 press. Sherman and Browner cover man-to-man with Earl Thomas playing CF.
Omar LittleQuote Reply
@ Mucker:
Yeah, they nearly have the DL to make the switch. It takes time to learn assignments, but they should be able to work that out quickly.
As you said, CB is the area of worry switching away from a cover 2 (which is about the easiest assignment a CB can have).
