Chicago Bears Draft Summary – SuperSized Edition!!!

Boomer — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 02:51:31 +0000

Maybe I was a little overambitious trying to do a separate post for each of the nine, yes nine, Day 2 players, so I’ll sum up all of the Bears‘ picks here. I’ve pulled my original posts for the first two players selected into this post to have one giant draft summary chalked full of video clip highlights and all that the true Bears fan needs to know about our new guys. Feel free to post your comments and grades in the Comments section. Make sure to check out my take after all of the summaries.

With their first selection, pick # 68 overall the Bears selected Jarron Gilbert, DE out of San Jose. The 6′ 5″, 280 pounder will add some versatility to the D-line as it is believed he could play either tackle or end. This from Scout.com:

Gilbert is a versatile lineman who has outstanding athleticism. He has a great frame and could add more mass. He can play inside or outside and flashes the ability to be a tremendous threat behind the line of scrimmage. He has long arms and delivers a quick punch to gain an advantage. He holds up well against double teams and disengages quick enough to track down a ball carrier. He’s viewed as a tweener.

And in case the Bears ever need someone to jump out of a pool, here’s this video that’s been making the rounds on YouTube and featured on ESPN when it was announced that the Bears made their first selection of the 2009 NFL draft.

Gilbert said of his pool jumping: … [visit site to read more]

UPDATED: BEARS DRAFT NEEDS

Boomer — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 08:00:44 +0000

I put the original Bears Draft Needs post together back in February on the heels of the Super Bowl. A lot has changed since then, namely the addition of one JAY CUTLER, but surprisingly the needs haven’t changed all that much but some of the target players have come into focus a bit more.

Keep it locked on the Fansided network and Bear Goggles On for all of your draft coverage. I’ll be updating through my twitter account and keep a draft diary throughout the weekend. I’ll be keeping a close eye on the NFC North and what the Lions, Packers and Vikings will be doing while the Bears draft room watches a Three Stooges marathon and waits until pick 49. I expect that won’t come until somewhere after 7 PM Central.

So here’s my updated top draft needs post on the eve of the eve of Mel Kiper Day, I mean, the NFL Draft.
