    I have a question for all of the Bear fans. Why are a ton of the Mock Drafts predict that the Bears are going to pick a RB. To me, they have a good RB in Thomas jones (former 1st rounder) and a very good backup in the A-train. Am I crazy, or it makes absolutely no sense for the Bears to pick a RB???

    Well,

    1) Thomas Jones is not good.
    2) They dont have a backup in A-train
    3) They need a good running back.

    So any one who has that in a mock draft is not crazy.

    But dont you think they have more pressing needs right now, then a RB?? If they truly need a RB, they should trade some picks to get a sure thing like Shaun Alexander or Edgerrin James. I bet they could get either one for a 2 and 3, maybe 1 next year.

    Chicago IMO needs a young WR to help Grossman develop & to complement Muhammad.

    While I like Berrian & Gage neither is starting WR.

    I really like Thomas Jones, How many yards did he have last year with like 12 starts, 923 I think, hes quick and has a little bit of power to compliment his speed, he could start for a number of teams if the bears dont want him to be their guy.

    What is more pressing need? They had one of the top defenses last year, despite being in bad position by offense. They have already addressed the line, and WR position, and have a young QB to start.

    He is ok. He is nothing special though. 2 20 yard runs in 240 carries? a 4.0 avg. They can upgrade position

    Yeah but why do it with the number 4 pick? Their is alot of depth in this draft and the bears will atleast be able to add Some "Thunder" to their "Lighting"

    I'll curse you. The only team you really think has no chance is GB, or you would be willing to take me up on bet.

    I dont agree, My point was if you thought he was good, he obviously isnt. Basically everything you say is wrong. I apoligize for making my sarcasm to subtle for you to get.
