Jeff Becomes a Broken Record

Thursday, April 23, 2009 | Jeff

First it was Chad Ocho Cinco. Then it was Anquan Boldin. Now - according to PFT - the Cleveland Browns and the New York Giants are doing the Pennsylvania Polka (not a real dance) around a possible trade for Braylon Edwards. According to Sal Paolantonio the Giants refuse to offer more than a second and fifth-round draft pick for the player and the Browns are holding out for more.

I say offer more. Not a lot more. But a little more. A second and a fourth, maybe? In case you haven't noticed, I don't put a lot of a stock in the Bears' ability to draft offensive talent (specifically at the receiver spot). Braylon Edwards has flaws, mainly in the drops department, but he's also capable of being a 75-90 catch guy with Jay Cutler at quarterback. (In 2007, with Derek Anderson, he had 80 catches, 1289 yards and 16 touchdowns.)

If the Chicago Bears think they can win a championship in 2009 and are willing to put all their chips on the table (I hate poker metaphors too), this is the kind of move they need to make. With Holt off the board and Boldin out of their reach, the Bears can not rely on Earl Bennett or Brian Robiskie to frighten defensive coordinators around the league.

I'm not saying the Bears can't win without a viable number one man on the outside. I am saying that having a viable number one man on the outside makes them the surefire favorite to win the NFC North. Braylon Edwards can be that man.

This close to the draft, you can almost be certain that JA has a plan for the draft, and will not stray from that. That being said, I saw an intriguing mock that caught my attention. Todd McShay (who I can't stand) actually had our beloved taking a pretty interesting pick...

He mocks that with our 4th rounder (the only one I liked from him), we take Captain Munnerlyn, CB, from S. Carolina.

He's definently undersized (5'9" 182lbs), and I don't know a whole lot about him, but....

I do remember a S. Carolina game on ESPN last year. During that game, I remember this kid DOMINATING the opposition. I'm talking all-over-the-place. INTs, FFs, FRs, a sack, pass deflections, etc... He's got plenty of intangibles. During that game at least, he was certainly Champ Baileyesque...

i'd just like CA to go back and read the list of people like him who called me "insane" and "Stupid" for proposing the bears give up numbers ones for jay cutler.

#6 Max said . . .

HA! That was me... I thought Jeff was stupid.

Seriously though, we need a receiver and the more time we waste not selecting one, the more likely Angelo is just going to draft one and we will have to wait 3 years to see him develop.

Get somebody, now.

#7 Fresno,Ca Bear Fan said . . .

it just dude cmon! how many WR's are you going to keep talking about? im just saying be realistic about this...JA is not gonna give up the rest of our picks and I wouldnt want him to either....we have other Issues OLINE? DBACKS? we cant win games if our Dbacks cant stop opponents from scoring 24 plus or if our Oline cant block for Cutler or Forte....We have young potential WR's, two of the Best TE's, and a Running Back that can catch about anything...so sorry if I dont think a WR is the biggest thing we need...Draft Day is comming up and I think we need to drop this "QUICK SIGN A WR" bullshit..and talk about what are gonna do with our 2nd round pick! BEARDOWN
BrianSong- yes I am criticizing Jeff.

here's my problem. chad, anquan, braylon...

these aren't hypotheticals. these players are available. and the eagles and giants and cowboys are interested and the last time i checked, we have to beat those teams to get to the superbowl.

what drafting history am i missing that says we're going to fix anything on sunday?

April 23, 2009

#10 Fresno,Ca Bear Fan said . . .

I am a Fan that still believes that our Defense wins championships...Cutler is here and just be patient...a reciever will come....like i said we still two of the best TE's, a RB that catch anything, and recievers that are still developing.....I think we need to beef up our defense more than anything..

April 23, 2009

#11 The Ghost of Halas said . . .

I agree with your premise, Jeff. The Bears are in desperate need of a viable number 1 receiver.

But Braylon Edwards? Braylon Edwards? The guy who was numeral uno in dropped passes in 2008? Edwards is a loudmouth asshole. I have a nephew who was an intern with the Browns during the 2007 season and he got along with everybody on the team except for Brady Quinn and Braylon Edwards.

Jeff, I love most of what you write, but you have been getting a little radical lately. I understand what Fresno is saying...ever since they signed Cutler the issue has been to get him someone to throw it to. So who do we have to choose from?

The guy who shot himself.
The guy who cussed out his OC.
A few old men.
A guy who is possibly more overrated and has worse hands than T.O.

I'm all for getting a great talent at reciever, but I'm unwilling to sell the farm to get him and I want him to be a player who will contribute to this team on the field and in the locker room.

April 23, 2009

#12 jeff said . . .

i'm not disagreeing with your opinion. nobody, and i mean nobody was more critical of this defense in 2008 than me. go back and read the fights i had with people.

i don't believe you're going to make the 2009 defense better on day 2 of the draft. maybe we find what....a nickel corner? a third safety?

and who are these developing wide receivers you're talking about? earl bennett and his zero catches in 2008? that's a lot of development required. rash davis isn't getting better. devin's terrific but he's limited as a number one.

April 23, 2009

#13 The Ghost of Halas said . . .

...In addendum,

I want someone who's ego is not too big to mentor Hester a little more. Do you see Braylon Edwards doing that? No.

April 23, 2009

#14 Reverend Dave said . . .

No good/potentially great receivers come available for trade without a little risk or a few negatives. And there are certainly negatives about each of the receivers Jeff has argued for. But i dont see how everyone can get this worked up about giving up a few mid to low round draft picks for a receiver when they had no problem betting the farm on a far riskier gamble at QB.

Listen we bet big on Cutler, and if we want it to work he needs someone to throw it to. Sure our TE's are pretty good, sure Dev might, maybe, if we are lucky, turn the corner and actually become a reliable back who can catch the ball. But we cant rely on 2 TE sets all the time and Dev developing is far from assured. And past him our young promising recievers? The only other receiver to record an NFL catch is Rashied Davis. Promising? Cant learn the playbook enough to make the field all season Bennett? Great in the fourth quarter of Preseason game #2 but barely practice squad eligible during the big boy games Rideau? How can anyone say we arent fielding one of, if not the, weakest WR corps in the NFL?

And I am not saying that the black hole at free safety doesnt terrify me but thats not the side of the ball that we sold the future to upgrade this offseason. I sure as shit dont want to see our "franchise" QB led offense sputter cause we spent our second and fourth round picks on Earl Bennett and Ariese Curry Jrs.

April 23, 2009

#15 DTB said . . .

How exactly would the BT be mortgaging the future by giving up a two and a four? Listen everyone. It's not about the future, it is about right now! In all reality, we are talking about a proven commodity with Edwards. He has already done it and I have no faith in developing a WR. We are staring the NFC championship in the face right now and could potentially have the most well rounded offense in the conference if we can pull this off. If Braylon could do nothing else than allow single coverage on Devin or Olsen, it would be worth the investment. Draft a safety with the three and add depth with our 5 picks in the last three rounds. It's not rocket science people.

No, DTB! Football administration 101=The future is ALWAYS more important than the present.

#18 O-Line wins games said . . .

Last I heard the Browns wanted a 1st and Mathias Kiwanuka from the Giants for Edwards.

The Giants came back and said a 2nd and a 5th, and the Browns laughed in their faces.

So there will likely be no deal with the Giants unless something changes.

I honestly would like to have Edwards on the team, but I don't think we have the ammo to get him.

April 23, 2009

#19 zmac said . . .

I think the "more" the Browns are holding out for is a 1st rounder and unfortunately ours are all gone.

#22 MaddBearsfan said . . .

I don't know about this one guys. I still would like to shore up the defense a little for down the road a ways especially in the 2ndary and FS. I don't think anyone is sure of the WR corp since we really never had a QB that could get them the ball. We do however know we have holes in the defense that need to be addressed now,and from what I've been reading the draft is pretty rich with defensive players. I understand what Jeff is saying, come out of the chute with a hot passing game. Somehow I just don't see Lovie going that route. I think it would be more interesting to keep everyone guessing as to what the offense can do. That makes it even harder for the defensive coordinaters to plan for.

April 23, 2009

#23 Fresno,Ca Bear Fan said . . .

JEFF, your lost in some fantasy world about trading the rest of our draft picks to get some WR who has more dropped balls than anyone else in the league....sorry JEFF but honestly wake up and smell the fucking coffee already...we got a Secondary defense that needs a major upgrade, an Oline that needs a new makeover, maybe a FullBack than actually Block or maybe another outside LineBacker than can cover a fucking Tight End....mmm Maybe your lost in some world where you think the Bears our Running Football team and Hard knocks Defense will become some Passing Happy no defensive team....and also WR dont win Championships...DEFENSE DOES!

April 23, 2009

#24 The Ghost of Halas said . . .

Gotta agree with Fresno on this one. Sorry Jeff.

April 23, 2009

#25 Phil from SATX said . . .

If you can get a bona fide 1200 yard receiver with your 2nd and 4th, can't see why we wouldn't want that - and the issue is really the 4th round pick, since there's a good chance we'll be using that 2nd rounder for a wr anyway - one not proven, who will need to develop. So would you spend a 4th round pick as insurance to guarantee yourself a productive receiver? I'd say yes.

Drops are overrated - unless it's the 2008 Bears you're talking about, when wr's only had about 10 chances per game and dropped half of them. When you have one guy that's catching 7 passes a game, dropping 1 that he should catch is far less important.

And while Jeff would never promote me saying this, and it may actually piss him off because he loves and welcomes criticism, I do think you're going a little out of bounds there CA on your Jeff-bashing. He's done a little too much around here, and been right a few too many times, maybe even influenced things a wee bit with this blog that he created. Disagree with him if you want, but lighten up a bit! Check out the Ghost, there's a way to disagree but be a little classy about it! We're all Bear fans here!

April 23, 2009

#27 jeff said . . .

believe me i can take it.

i just continue to ask a question that receives no answer.WHERE ARE YOU GETTING THESE UPGRADES? the corners we're replacing? we drafted. the safeties? we drafted. the defensive line - with the exception of ogunleye - we drafted!!!!!

why do you think day two is going to produce upgrades at these positions? you believe that because you have faith in an organization to do something they've never done before - draft well.

i'm proposing blow off the draft and bring in a legitimate number one receiver. so braylon dropped balls last year. he is worth a second and five to the giants but you're smarter than them now, i guess. they didn't win a super bowl two years ago, did they? i'm proposing topping their offer is all.

but you put your faith on halas hall to solve our problems with fourth round cornerbacks. let me know how 8-8 tastes.

April 23, 2009

#28 Phantom One said . . .

Jeff -

Thank you for getting back to your stated mission of bringing the Bears a franchise WR (after you successfully helped bring in our franchise QB).

CA, we all want the same thing. We want Cutler to have formidable targets scattered around the field to crush our opponents. There are many ways we can do this - we can draft, we can trade, or we can continue to sign free agents.

My guess is that the BT will only trade for Braylon if they do not feel they can pull a legit # 1 out of this draft class, from where they are. If they decide not to pull a trade, then they WILL need to sign a vet after the draft for some short term help (Matt Jones, Joe Jerivicious, Marvin Harrison, Plax).

We have options. The question we have to ask ourselves is: is Braylon a legit number 1? I think he has more potential than anyone else listed above, but he at present need some stern leadership. He can play on grass, and in cold weather, but can he play in a run the ball down your fucking throat till you bleed and stack the box to take your ass deep offense? I don't know, but I would be willing to explore the option, because we have a new franchise QB who will need some formidable targets.

It's fucking Packer Week, baby...

#29 CalvinJames said . . .

How did Mark Sanchez improve so much as a QB in the months since he took his last snap? I remember his coach, Pete Carroll, one of the most respected guys in College Football, saying he wasn't ready and almsot begging Sanchez to stay another year. Now, he is the next John Elway?

April 23, 2009

#30 CalvinJames said . . .

Sorry, way off topic, I just need to know.

If they had the draft in late March or early April, teams would not have time to waffle, and these players would be judged by their playing, not months of second guessing.

April 23, 2009

#31 animal said . . .

1. it feels like asking way too much for a big trade for a big name WR. The Cutler deal is a freaking miracle of Biblical proportions, and it feels like we should be satisfied with that.
2. Conventional wisdom frowns seriously on trading away your entire draft, and failing to stockpile young talent/role players. Conventional wisdom is often crap, but in light of the Cutler deal we will be under the draft microscope anyway. No way JA gets rid of more picks.

April 23, 2009

#32 CalvinJames said . . .

Another random thought: How much does it suck to be the Lions. First of all, you live in Detroit. Second, your team will go down as one of the worst in history because of being 0-16. Two of the best young QB's play in your division (Cutler and Rodgers) and the other team has one of the best DL's in the NFL. You've just had one of the worst runs by a GM with Matt Millen and you've had some of the worst draft busts in history.

And now, they are stuck in the worst position in the draft, the #1 choice, where it is almost guaranteed they will overpay for someone and be even worse off down the road.

April 23, 2009

#33 The Ghost of Halas said . . .

Dropped passes aren't overrated.

They are a signal. A signal that the reciever does not have terrific awareness. A signal that his repore with the QB is probably in need of stimulation.

Come on, Phil. You know how pissed we always are at Rashied Davis? Braylon Edwards dropped MORE THAN TWICE as many balls as Davis. I don't give a shit if the guy is a 1,200 yard reciever. He has poor hands. 30% of the balls thrown his way were dropped. How do you qualify overrating that?

April 23, 2009

#34 The Ghost of Halas said . . .

**Rapport** ahem.

April 23, 2009

#35 Phil from SATX said . . .

Ghost, if 30% of the balls thrown his way were truly dropped, I'd agree with you - but surely that's a complete exaggeration, right? I can't look it up right now, have had lots of trouble getting good info on drops and how many attempts go a receivers way.

Receivers should never drop catchable balls, but when they're getting only a few chances a game and dropping those (a la Rashied) - that's a complete waste and utterly useless - but someone who's catching lots of balls but dropping more than his share - well that's TO, and if TO weren't TO I'd kill to have him on my team. If Braylon catches a lot (the kind of catching that gets a guy 1200 yards in a season) - I can live with more drops than average.

April 23, 2009

#36 Fresno,CA BEAR FAN said . . .

I know we need a WR but c'mon we need a Defense first.....Like i said DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS not a WR....
Ghost OF Halas- Thats my point exactly! Rashied Davis has better hands than this guy!
I think Rashied Davis will have better play this year....he will return to 2006 form!
Hester will be burning any corner who
dares to cover him!
Greg Olsen and Desmond Clark will continue to create mismatches!
Bennet will break out this year!
Forte will make opposing Lb's wish they could cover him!
Garret Wolfe? Slot? Speed? Maybe?
all n all we are not in that bad of shape as some of you guys think we are....we have the right tools Ron Turner needs to apply them

#37 Phil from SATX said . . .

Calvin, I heard very interesting commentary yesterday morning on Mike and Mike about this. They were talking about Bill Polian of the Colts. He is considered one of the best drafters out there - rarely busts, especially with high picks.

Bill says to him it's all about science - and not at all about gut, gut just tries to fool you and get you distracted about the so-called "intangibles" - he doesn't believe in intangibles.

That's the kind of thing that's happening to Mark Sanchez - they like his "swagger", the way he "commands a room", how likeable he is. Polian says ignore all that, watch how he was on film, look at his measurements, look at the competition he played with. I believe he said there was no contest to him between Stafford and Sanchez, Stafford all the way - I could be misquoting on that one though.

April 23, 2009

#38 jeff said . . .

calvin, i watch too much college football. never once was i impressed with mark sanchez' play. i don't get it.

he is engineered to do well in the drafting process, though. he's physically very gifted. he's very smart. he tests through the roof.

but in games, i found him unimpressive.

April 23, 2009

#39 B said . . .

I heard that same thing from Michael Smith on NFL live on espn and i was thinking the same thing. A second and a fourth or fifth? If you can get edwards for that i think it would be a steal. If we end up drafting a WR in the second round anyway your not gonna get someone who can make an immediate impact like Braylon Edwards would. He is young and we can win now with him lined up across from D Hester. I would love that deal but no way the Bears pull of another blockbuster like this in one offseason

April 23, 2009

#40 Who's Laughing Now Is A Broken Record said . . .

Plaxico. Buress.

No draft picks surrendered.

Better receivers than Edwards or Holt (at this point in their careers)

A absolute game-changer with #6 tossing the ball.

An excellent red zone target.

A man who will need to prove something, play with a chip on his shoulder.

Culter + Plax + Hester + Forte + Olsen ... cmon, da Bears have NEVER had that kind of offense. (Though 85 came pretty close.)

April 23, 2009

#41 Shady said . . .

My view is that giving up more draft picks to trade for a WR with questionable hands is too risky at this point.

With all the room the Bears have under the cap, I think the better move would be to draft for defense and use the FA market to bring in established offense without having to give up valuable draft picks.

Take a look at the WRs (including Braylon Edwards, Hines ward and Larry Fitzgerald) due to become free agents in 2010:

April 23, 2009

#42 FRESNO,CA BEAR FAN said . . .

Larry Fritzgerald will most likely get franchised tag and renew his contract.

Braylon Edwards will most likely be gived up....( why are we trying to trade all our picks for a guy with no Hands and only 1 year left on his contract? what if he doesnt resign with us? to risky!)

Hines Ward howver could go either way..but i see Pittburgh renewing his contract....

April 23, 2009

#43 Pd said . . .

With the O as currently constructed we SHOULD be the favorite to win the NFC north. We lost by 1 game last year. I don't know if I can say the Pack or Vikes have gotten any better this offseason. Surley our O has (pace + cutler). A revamped D-line and a 2nd round draft pick to shore up the secondary... all of the sudden we are looking pretty tuff.

We have (at minimum) a favorable sched. I say fix the our holes on D. Adding Burris would be HUGE, but in light of his dumbassary, will probably not happen. Besides who knows if the guy will play 2009.

I'd be plenty happy with 2nd/S, 3rd/DE, 4th/WR or OL... or something like that. I really think a 2nd round S or DE will have a much larger impact in 2009 than a WR.

April 24, 2009

#44 Sarcastiholic said . . .

No way Angelo gives up a second and fourth rounder for Edwards, even if the Browns would consider it. You know he's itching to draft another DL. The junkie needs his fix!

Edwards will be available next year if he's worth the price that Oakland or Jacksonville will be willing to overapay.

I was all for the Holt signing but can't get behind the Edward's deal. Polian might not care about the intangibles but Edwards would probably be a one season stop-gap and then demand more money than he's worth to resign.

On another note: love the way Sanchez is moving up the board. I'm hoping the Lions take him instead of Stafford and then they can sell their own version of the Ryan Leaf jersey.

#45 The Ghost of Halas said . . .

Braylon caught 55 balls for 873 yards for an average of 15.9 yards and 3 touchdowns.

He dropped 16.

I know what you mean, Phil. But I don't think "dropped passes" are balls thrown toward the reciever. They're balls that bounce off of, go through, or otherwise are within reach of the reciver's hands. I doubt their just talking about incompletions directed in the reciever's area.

Here's the 2008 dropped stats:

If the Bears have a chance to take Braylon Edwards for a 2nd and a 5th they BETTER fucking take that deal...

They are going to draft a WR with the 2nd round pick anyways. Why not trade the 2nd for a proven #1 WR that can start right away.

Why take your chance on the 5-8 best WR in the draft. So big deal...all you really lose is a 5th round pick.

I'm sick and tired of this team not having a feared offense!! I say screw it and make that deal tomorrow.

WHOA WHOA WHOA!!! Stop... I am pretty sure that I read somewhere in this list of comments, someone say that Rashied Davis is going to have a better year than Braylon Edwards.

First off, I love Rashied. I have loved the man since he joined with us as a defensive back. I am willing to bet that I am the only, at most one of the few on this blog, that still thinks he is worth a roster space as a receiver. But for anyone to say that he is going to have a better year than Braylon Edwards is nothing short of ludacris.

I would like a No 1 receiver. Shit, I would take just about any receiver right now. I know there is a massive hole at the safety position and arguably the O-line. I understand that conventional wisdom states, "Don't sell the farm for one player" (even though we techincally did do that for Cutler)

But we could be in a position to win the Super Bowl, RIGHT NOW THIS YEAR. As long as we have people that Cutler can throw the ball to.

Check that, if we have PROVEN people that Cutler can throw the ball to.

Bennett has not caught a pass in the pros. Sure, maybe he was just learning the system last year, but does anyone else notice that maybe Lovie just doesn't like young receivers? I mean he basically ran Mark Bradley out of town and Bradley went and started for the Chiefs. Gage and Wade have gone on to not great careers, but they have lasted and might be better options than we have now.

If we can get an Edwards, a Boldin, hell, even a couple middle of the road veteran receivers, our offense could be insane.

Defense wins championships, but tell me one safety in this draft you feel comfortable with drafting and starting this year... there is none. It will be Steltz or Bullucks starting next to Payne back there regardless of the draft.

And while that scares the hell out of me (and has me praying to the gods that Bowman can come out of nowhere to help), I think that the receiver position is still far more important at the moment and WE CAN'T DRAFT THAT POSITION. Make a deal, bring someone, anyone in and do it soon.

This whole idea of all of this is ludacris! We ARE a defensive team, for almost a century now. holy shit, all of a sudden, we get a QB, and everyone wants to be West Coast offense?

Have we forgotten, regardless of unproven receivers, Jay C will make ours better just by being behind center? we have serious upcoming issues on our Defense in the form of AGE, that need to be addressed. if we continues to "sell the farm" for one chance at a ring this year, we will be the Lions of the next 10 years.

way i see it, we draft, then we sign the best deal WR FA out there. at least we got a friggin QB now, they gave us an inch, now we scream for a mile.

we trade a 2nd and a 5th for a WR, then the next post will be
"I know, i know, but trade 2010 away for (to be named secondary player)"

Here at DaBearsBlog, you are free to kill us or the Bears as you so wish.  You are not free, however, to be an asshole.  So if you spew racism or ill-meaning foul language (cursing about football is just fine) or anything of that ilk, your comments ain't gonna last long, jerk.
