3 Acqisitions that need to happen this year.....

I was looking at the team and what we need to do this offseason. There is alot we need to do and having a new GM he is going to have his hands full. He needs to resign some players (Forte, Bennett) and in my opinion not resign/release some player (Roy Williams, Adams, Omyiale). Well in spit of all that I believe there are 3 big "moves" he (GM) needs to do so our team can be successful and make it to the Superbowl.

# 1 Acquisition ( Vincent Jackson or Dwayne Bowe)
- We need to sign a FA WR to be our #1 WR. Rather it be Dwayne Bowe, Reggie Wayne, Marques Colston or Vincent Jackson. We need someone for Jay to throw to and take our offense to the next level.

# 2 Acquisition ( 1st round pick - Mike Adams)
- We need to address the offensive line with our 1st round pick in the drat. We need to give Jay time to throw the ball, make sure he doesnt end up on IR and give Forte holes to run through. We draft Jonathon Martin, Mike Adams, or DeCastro to play LT for us.

# 3 Acquisition (2nd round pick- Vinny Curry/ FA Mathis, Avril or maybe KVB if he is released)
- We need to address our Defensive end position opposite of Julius Peppers. Peppers is a beast and we need not to let his talent go to waste because our other DE cant do anything. Idonji isnt a starter in my opinion, just a rotation guy. We need to draft in the 2nd round of the draft like Vinny Curry or Cam Johnson or sign a FA.

If we really addressed these 3 areas we would be in great shape. Being a new GM if he was to do this he would really win the fans over and have a great start to his new career in Chicago.

What you guys think???

getting jackson or bowe wuld greatly imrpove our WR but it isn't enough IMO we still need a hig hdraft pick out of the draft to upgrade at that position. Mike Adams is a stud but we might have to roll with j'marcus webb at LT this year from the way mike tice has been talking.

vinny curry would be a great pickup also.

Bowe is at the top of my FA list as well along with Michael Floyd.. I don't think DE is a urgent need if we do bring Izzy back considering we have Wooton who is going into his 3rd season.

Mike Adams would be a solid pick up but if Kirkpatrick is there then I hope there is no hesitation do upgrade our Corners.

I agree if Kirkpatrick is there at #19 we draft him over Mike Adams. That will be a value pick more than a need pick in my opinion. Kirkpatrick is going to be this years version of Jimmy Smith.

I really think if we signed Bowe or Jackson, we dont need to draft Floyd in the 1st round. I think we have to many holes on our team to sign a #1 WR in free agency and use a 1st round pick on a WR. Our defensive end position needs to be addressed and our offensive line does as well.

There were alot of times in games where the opposing teams QB had all day to throw the ball. With Urlacher, Briggs, Tillman, and Peppers getting up in age, we need a great pass for our defensive to be a effective.

If we happen to sign a #1 WR in free agency I would like us to draft a WR later in the rounds like the 3rd round and take someone like Juron Criner out of Arizona. The guy runs good routes, 6'3 220 pounds and balled in the Senior Bowl. Reminds me alot of Malcolm Floyd of the Chargers.

Have to agree. Wooton is made of glass. Since his knee injury in college he has never been able to stay healthy and has never even played half a season in the NFL. Izzy is a rotation guy at best.

So we need a DE in the draft or via free agency.

I would love our offseason if in free agency we could sign Dwayne Bowe or Vincent Jackson, also sign Kyle Van DaBosch if he is released, and finally Thomas DeCoud to play FS for us.

Mike Adams looks the part of a franchise LT, but his tape speaks differently, I really don't think he's worth the #19 pick, and as for Kirkpatrick his boneheadedness has made him a likely 3rd round pick.

No way Kirkpatrick falls to the 3rd round. He may not even make it past the Bengals in the first round. And if he makes it to #19 we NEED to jump on him. Pot charges were dropped on him too by the way

[quote="ConVict90"]Considering he was playing behind Peppers (future HOF) and a not to shabby Izzy.. I'd give Corey a little slack. [quote]

More like he was playing behind scrubs in Chauncey Davis/Addison/Reed the whole season because he could never get healthy. I wouldn't mind keeping him around as a 4th DE but we certainly need to upgrade the spot ahead of him as I'd prefer Izzy as the 3rd DE. I hink we should bring in a pass rush specialist at DE and platoon him and Izzy this upcoming year. Izzy is very good versus the run and short yardage. Obvious passing downs bring int he pass rush specialist. Allows them to both stay fresh as well.

As much as no one wants to hear it…including myself…I’m finding it harder and harder to believe that some of the top WRs are going to hit the open market…I really really doubt Bowe isn’t resigned or tagged in KC…I’m also struggling to see San Diego letting Jackson go or the Bills letting Johnson go…Colston is a little more tricky to gauge because we don’t know what’s going to happen with Brees & Nicks but I’m really starting to think we will be looking more at complement guys rather than #1s as teams just don’t let true #1s walk in FA…even trade wise only Brandon Marshall & Santonio Holmes have been allowed to leave the team that drafted them and that had more to do with off field issues as it did on the field and both have never reached the heights that they did with the team that traded them…Laurent Robinson & Robert Meachem might be more realistic targets.

I would like the Bears to try a Marshall for Briggs swap. Use the draft pick on Burfict and try to sign Bowe or VJax. I know i'll be in the minority with this one but I want the Bears to trade Forte. What could we realistically get for him in a deal?
