If that's true who is Tolliver's competition?  The Canada guy?  If that's the case Bears are picking a corner in round 2.

You think Burns was told he was brought to Chicago to play special teams or to compete for the open CB job?

I think he signed the only contract he was offered since last season he wasn’t on the game day roster

Dallasbear/dallasbear 2 - What is u with your usernames?   ;D

It's good unless you see the two usernames having an argument.  As long as they pretty much agree with each other and our civil about it  I agreed they could have the 2 IDs.

Cornerback Artie Burns said at the end of 2019 that he was excited about the prospect of moving on from the Steelers after being on the field for just 66 defensive snaps in the regular season.

Burns has found a team that wants to give him an opportunity for a more productive season. Agent Drew Rosenhaus told PFT that Burns has signed a one-year contract with the Bears.


He signed a minimum deal - I'd bet he had a few other offers though and picked the Bears because of Amukamora's release.

chilaborgport,

I heard on Locked On Bears from a Steelers observer a while ago that Burns had the skills to cover Antonio Brown like a glove in practice consistently so much so that they would come to blows.  The key would be to get him to understand his assignments and maybe Pagano could unlock some of that potential.

Then again if CB is BPA early in the draft, then I'm all for solidifying the D...as long as Winfield is also a Bear too :-)

I really like Winfield.  And I'd consider him in round 2, only because he has traits of both a SS and FS.  7 picks in 2019!

And an argument could be made that safety right now is the weakest position on the team from a talent and depth point of view.   I'd be kind of OK with Bush starting but he and Lucas don't have a whole lot of starting safety experience.  After that you have McManis and maybe Denmark if he moves to safety.

Bears will add a safety in this draft but I don't see chasing a SS in round 2 if he's strictly a SS type.   You can get that guy later.

It may be tough to pass up some good talent in round 2 and drop to late round 2, but there's going to be some good players in round 3.  And I'd like to get a pick in round 4 but I don't think the Bears have the ammo to trade up with the picks they have in round 5, 6(2), and 7(2).

Remember years ago when the Vikings were late getting with their pick in a row ? And it happened again the next year too. Now that was hilarious..... :D

I would have to rewatch 2 episodes of the Last Dance and Game 6 and 7 of 2016 WS to cancel out how I feel about that moment.  He traded up for what...

Apparently the Bears signed Macks younger brother.  That **** never works out but they did it just the same.

Remember when they signed Urlachers brother?  Yeah, I expect it to end the same way.  Cut in training camp.

Cole Kemit pick seems safe.  I think he is future solid starter.  Do not think he will become a superstar.  Every team needs solid starters.  I am ok with the pick.

I really really like the Jaylon Johnson pick.  The guy played the whole season hurt and still played at an elite level.  Seems like a fierce competitor. I think he is a standout in 2 years.

5th rounders.  The highlights of the speedy WR left me unimpressed.  I think he is basically a cheap version of Taylor Gabriel.  A fast player that does not make many catches.  The pass rushing OLB is a project but 5th rounders are usually projects.  Another CB?  I think that is Pagano's influence.

Two OL projects in the 7th I am fine with.  Only objection is I would rather have spent the 5th rounder on Oline instead of CB.

No SS?  Surprising.  Guess they feel really good about Bush.

Didn't someone sign Archie Manning's kids?

More seriously, what in the world do they have to lose?  I doubt that the signing will have a significant effect on the salary cap.

Maybe they can move another CB to SS

I've never been a big Pace fan, but given how many picks the Bears had, I thought he did fine.  All eyes are on Mitch now, use it or lose it, you've got a superbowl mvp jabbing a stick up your bottom wanting to start. Unless those last two picks are sleepers I don' see the OL getting much better.
