Here is the deal: We don’t have time, nor always the will, to make a post out of every semi-significant Bears-related tidbit that hits the InterWeb. But, to satisfy you readers and make sure that we keep on top of everything, we’re bringing you short and precise annotated Bears highlights every Monday and Thursday. This is our link-dumpish effort. (more…)

Ah, the undrafted free agent: the little league kid with asthma of the NFL. Over the next few days, the Bears are expected to sign upward of 15 fresh-out-of-college football players to make an enviable amount of money for…well, basically practicing through the summer. (more…)

J’Marcus Webb, who you should have all been well aware was on the Bears’ radar, is the Bears’ seventh-round selection. My guess is the Bears weren’t confident Webb would make it to undrafted free agency, so decided not to take any chances. That’s just fine by Webb. “Horns to the sky, fellows.” (more…)

The Bears, under the likely nudging of Mike Martz, take Central Michigan quarterback Dan Lefevour in Round 6. Hey! Do you know how else was taken in Round 6? Tom-motherfucking-Brady, that’s who! Do you know what this all means? That Dan Lefevour is, obviously, the next Tom Brady! WOO-HOO! (more…)

Here is cornerback Joshua Moore (4) of Kansas State fruitlessly jumping for the football. The Bears have drafted him with their fifth-round pick. Some may argue Nolan Carroll was the better pick (he went four picks later), but let us dig (a little) deeper, shall we? (more…)

I wake up this morning to discover the Bears have drafted Northwestern defensive end Corey Wootton in the fourth round. My first reaction: Oh, boy! I know this name! Saw a local expose’ on his comeback from injury just the other day!…My second reaction: Did they totally run out of cornerbacks and offensive lineman? (more…)

No surprise here, really. We already knew this is where the Bears would go if Major Wright was available. Of course, by ‘we’, I’m referring to the Sun-Times Mike Mulligan. Wright is a real free safety. What more could you ask for? (more…)

The Bears are about 17 picks away from finally making a selection. With the understanding that, by the time you read this, they could all be gone, I give you prospects I’d like to see the Bears take… (more…)

Remember when I said — so did Neil Hayes — that I kind of felt sorry for Jamar Williams: A talented linebacker seemingly stuck in a clusterfuck of other, promising linebackers? Well, Brad Biggs is reporting that the Bears could look to trade Williams, or other linebackers Nick Roach and Hunter Hillenmeyer, for more draft picks. (more…)

According to Mike Mulligan of the Sun-Times, “if Florida’s Major Wright is there, he’ll be the pick. If not, they hope to choose between Kansas’ Darrell Stuckey or Virginia Tech’s Kam Chancellor.” Well, shit. That takes all the fun out of it. (more…)

Day Two in this wildly entertaining NFL Draft is mercifully here, Bears fans. Depending on the time you’re reading this, I’m either nervously prepping for an interview on, what I believe is, 91.5 WBEZ in Chicago (11:30 a.m.); nervously in the middle of an interview on 91.5 WBEZ; or coming down from the aftermath of what was inevitably a nervous and awkward interview…I think you get it. (more…)

Welcome, one and all, to the 2010 NFL Draft First-Round Open Thread, brought to you by Blog Down, Chicago Bears and Al’s Rent-A-Horse, now off Old Highway 58! Watch with us as Sam Bradford gets drafted number one, Al Davis picks a really, really fast guy not projected to go until Round 4, and smile a little when draftee after draftee lets you know he’s “just excited to be apart of this great organization.” (more…)
