chisoxguy7 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 John Ross is said to be available. I wonder what the price would be. He’s fragile like White, but has actually earned (limited) targets when he has played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have Mixon and Bernard, plus drafted Walton last year. They have no use for Howard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard for Ross? I'd keep Howard. He is at least a hard runner and is far more durable. Plus Gabriel wasn't really used much deep like we thought he would be anyways. Maybe Nagy adjusts but he was used in the screen and drag game so much he had about 10 ypc. Hardly a burner role. I hope to see him and Try connect on some deep routes this next season though. It would open up a LOT for the offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but even before then he didn’t see the field. Howard is at best 3rd fiddle in that situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put a lot of time into a lot of college guys. I drafted him in 7th and he was still there. Obviously IRL we later drafted him in 4th. He was a big hitter and play maker in college, but like you said had terrible instincts. . I wanted him based on athletic potential and thought he could be a one day starter. Yeah I saw a lot of scouting reports placing him in the 6th round so in reality you weren't off base placing him in the 7th. We had three 4th round picks and needed DBs and we had a great secondary coach who could teach so maybe Pace reached a bit based on his speed and aggressiveness and was willing to give him a pass on the rest planning on Donatell "fixing" him.

soulman Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 13 hours ago, AZBearsFan said: I saw Bush looking like he was an average player the few games he was playing on behalf of Jackson, and as has been said I think he was playing out of position at free safety as well. Let’s also not forget that for the most part Adrian Amos was pretty average too in terms of making the plays he should but not a whole lot of special ones beyond that. Amos's game really came up once he had Jackson back there handling the deep stuff. It's possible Bush may benefit in that same way once he's settled in at SS. Word is the Bears like him there so we'll see. Sometimes a change comes out better than we expect. Before the '85 season Todd Bell who was our starting SS sat out over a contract dispute and put fans in a panic. Dave Duerson took his place and never lost his starting job again after Bell finally returned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have to be a 2020 6th since we lack one this year (Mack). Actually thinking about it I would try to pair a 2020 6th or 2019 7th and a player together for him. Maybe they need depth at LB and would take Acho off our hands, or they like Sowell as a swing tackle. I personally don't like him near as much due to his injury woes but if Pace and Nagy aren't exactly enthralled with Fitts or Wims then they could make the move to add one of them too. I prefer the 6th and Acho for the small cap aid it offers. My favorite would be to drop Chase Daniel's $6 mil for him straight up but they have Dalton, Driskel, and Kayaa. So they are already set on mediocre QB depth. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Howard is being shopped at the combine? https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-combine-translating-gm-comments-on-odell-beckham-eli-manning-nick-foles-josh-rosen-derek-carr-and-more/ (A brief aside on other players available ahead of the league year. League sources said the Vikings are shopping corner Trae Waynes, the Bears are shopping running back Jordan Howard, the Chiefs are talking trade on Justin Houston and the Eagles are open to moving Nelson Agholor).

Not sure why we want a smaller version of Kevin White anyway. Career Stats; 21 catches/210 yards/10.0 apc/36.2% catch ratio. I smell another bust.
