Brad Biggs, of the Chicago Sun-Times, reports the Chicago Bears will likely look to trade DE Alex Brown, after drafting DE Dan Bazuin in their second-round pick.

Yeah but read the article, there's really no substance to it. He's purely spectulating. I'm not saying it couldn't happen, I believe Angelo even said something to the degree of "we'll keep all of our options open", but I don't think it's a likelyhood to happen.

I just really hope we don't turn into the 2006 Colts run defense.

It was clear that our defense wasn't fast enough. Look at the Superbowl, we were so goddamn scared to get beat by anyone that we had to play 25 yards off the ball. We got NO pass rush, and just look fatigued at the end.

It's obvious that the picks on defense were in direct correlation to the dip we took on defense at the end of the year. If we lose some size to gain some speed, so be it.

For what though? Future draft picks?

After work (at the Staples in Rock Springs, Wyo.) I told our Sales Manager that maybe the Bears' line of thought behind drafting Dan Bazuin was that the DE depth chart could look something like the following:

LE: Ogunleye, Bazuin
RE: Brown, Anderson

Just a thought. If he does get traded, though, I would ask for a bare minimum of 2 2nd rounders

[bearsfan_51]

That's insane. I'm not sure Brown is worth even one 2nd rounder.

is brown a good fit in the cover 2? i know thats what you guys run so i was wondering if hes a good fit, or is he just lazy and doesn't play hard every play like what the lions have in kalimba edwards

[VoteLynnSwan]

I would be shocked if we could get more than a 4th rounder for Briggs honestly... if we trade him now maybe we could get a 3rd.

I have a VERY hard time thinking we'd trade him to the Lions.

But yeah he is, although his sack production could be better, Kalimba isn't really a good comparison.

We'll probably trade him for a DT since we didnt get one in the draft.

In a perfect Bears world: Trade him and San Diego's next years third for Alan Branch or some other really talented DT.

I wouldnt say hes lazy, I think he consistently works hard and gives really good effort. I dunno where i could find this stat but I always see him just barely being pushed behind the qb making him step up in the pocket (qb pressures?)

we definitely wouldn't trade him for a rookie...

[Hurricane Ditka]

Scott hasn't signed yet has he? I remember them saying depending on the draft they might give him a more serious offer. Since we didn't take a DB I wouldn't be surprised to see us try and sign him again.

[bearsfan_51]

Yeah I think there's an increasing likelyhood that Scott is resigned. The Chiefs and Broncos both loaded up on defensive linemen so it's really down to us, Atlanta, or Minnesota from as far as I can tell.
