What direction should the Bears take in the draft?

A lot has happened since we last spoke. Brandon Marshall a Bear, Peyton Manning a Bronco, the Bears made some ripples with free agent signings and more.

The Bears and new sheriff Phil Emery have done a nice job at addressing some of the holes that are on this team. But alas. there is still work to be done.

The Bears still need to get younger on defense, they still need to better protect Jay Cutler, they still need a better option opposite Julius Peppers at defensive end and after losing a couple of players help on the interior line as well. While they did go out and replace the players they lost at corner back (with better players too) they still need to get someone in who is a "stud" DB who can play with and eventually replace Peanut Tillman. Safety, who knows what we have here I think that the Bears coaching staff have no idea how to coach or evaluate this spot.

How many picks have been used on a safety since Lovie Smith has been here? Too many that's how many.

But this is an area that may need to be looked at too.

So with all that being said who do I want the beloved to take with their first pick in the draft? Michael Floyd WR University of Notre Dame. First, yes I know the Bears made themselves a whole lot better in stealing Brandon Marshall away from the Dolphins and second yes I know that there is pretty much no way that Floyd is sitting at 19 waiting for the Bears to call, but stay with me for a second and I will tell you why I think this is the best move and how it will work.

First let's talk about how to get Floyd. This will take some work and a third round pick I assume depending on how high they need to jump in order to get him. I am not saying give up the house Ala the Julio Jones trade from a year ago. I am thinking if you can get into the 11th or 12th pick it will do. That will cost you your third round pick and maybe even a 4th or 5th rounder in the future but it can be done.

Now for everyone who says that Brandon Marshall took care of the need. Yes, he did fill a huge void with a true number one that is big and makes defenses change the way they play. But lets look at it like this. The Bears are pretty young on the offensive side of the ball, this move would make them a bit younger allowing them to focus on defense almost exclusively the next couple of years. That is minus a left tackle of course. Not only that but this would make the Bears receiving corps among the best in the NFL. Imagine what not only Jay Cutler could do with TWO stud receivers but what life would be like for the angry Matt Forte'. Plus you could use Devin Hester correctly and not try pushing that square peg into that round hole that they have been trying to do forever.

Let me know what you think.  Am I crazy? Am I a genius? None of the above? Tell us!

And as always BEAR DOWN!
