[bearsfaninaz]

now that the draft is over who do you think we bring in? Any centers slip out of draft with high grade? i had to work most of drafts only saw who we got through twitter



Mod edit: This will be the thread to post any undrafted free agent signings as they trickle in.

[Brybeck01]

Would love to see us pick up some of the following undrafted offensive free agents:

QB
Bray, Tyler 6'6" 232 Tennessee

RB
Graham, Ray 5'9" 199 Pittsburgh
Wood, Cierre 5'11" 213 Notre Dame

Anyone you got your eyes on?
Anyone rumblings thus far?

[Brybeck01]

And on the defensive side (was hoping Zeke Motta was gonna be passed on and fall to UFA), here's who interests me:

DE
Williams, Nate 6'3" 241 Ohio St.

DT
Grissom, Cory 6'1" 306 South Florida
McCloud, Anthony 6'2" 305 Florida St.

We'll especially want to snag a CB or two

I would love Matt Scott.

Iowa State WR Josh Lenz tweeted that he is joining the Bears has an undrafted free agent.

DaRick Rogers signed with Buffalo. He must have been dealing drugs or something.

I'm an Iowa State student. I'm actually ecstatic about this. Well, as ecstatic as a person should get about an undrafted free agent signing.

This kid sounds like Ryan Swope without the concussions.

Would love to see us pick up some of the following undrafted offensive free agents:

Safety Mark Harrison from Rutgers
Receiver Josh Lenz from Iowa State
Defensive tackles Zach Minter from Montana State
Brent Russell from Georgia Southern

Punter Tress Way
Michael Ford (LSU RB)
PJ Lonegran (LSU C)
Damontre Hurst Oklahoma CB

Ford may be the most interesting, though I don't know if I'd want him to steal my ND boy Armando Allen

Really cant believe Thomas went undrafted. I really thought he was a solid third rounder with starting Sam potential. Clearly why I am not an Nfl scout.

ya, especially with Emery, I do not think anyone on the planet got the Bears draft right.

[VonCowbell]

A friend and I became committed 'Lutzenkirchen' fans for a day.
I promise you Bears fans, if he becomes a Bear, you have never had a more amusing name to cheer for.

The Bears scouting department may have found some more complmentary players in free agency again .
Demontre Hurst ,Zach Minter , Tress Way ,Michael Ford , and Mark Harrison all could at least make the practice squad . I will also be hoping that PJ Lonergan makes it as a center because Lord knows we need one !

Unfortunately, because we were all hoping for another center, Lonergan doesn't seem to have what it takes to play in the pros. I can see tho, why he might be useful to practice against: smart with good technique. Kind of a Gerald Ford type center: too clumsy to walk and chew gum at the same time.

[Hardhitter47]

I like the Michael Ford pick(semi-bias). However, for those that haven't seen him play, check him out. He's short in stature but is fast and strong. Can get around the corner at blazing speed and stop on the dime to change direction. He'd definitely be a nice compliment to Forte and or help boster the return game.

holy hell zach minter has some purdy high lights


why wasnt he drafted?

[o-pus #40 in B major]

Bears website lists these ten UFA's signed:

LSU running back Michael Ford
Ford played in 37 career games with five starts at LSU, scoring 14 touchdowns (13 rushing and one receiving). He ranked second in the SEC last season in kickoff returns, averaging 27.5 yards on 20 returns. Ford, who entered the draft following his junior season, had four kickoff returns of 40 yards or longer, including an 86-yarder that set up a TD against Arkansas. LSU running back Michael Ford was second in the SEC in kickoff returns last season.

Rutgers receiver Mark Harrison
Harrison led Rutgers last season with 44 receptions for 583 yards and six touchdowns. As a sophomore in 2010, he started 11 of 12 games played and was named the team's offensive MVP, recording 44 receptions for 829 yards and nine TDs. Pro Football Weekly's 2013 Draft Preview describes Harrison as a "big, straight-linish, monotone receiver who flashes ability to factor outside the numbers and in the red zone."

Oklahoma cornerback Demontre Hurst
Hurst started all 13 games at left cornerback last season and was named All-Big 12 second-team by the conference's coaches after ranking fourth on Oklahoma's defense with 59 tackles. He had four forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries but only two interceptions in 53 games over four seasons with the Sooners.

Iowa State receiver Josh Lenz
Lenz caught 31 passes for 459 yards and six touchdowns last year at Iowa State, leaving the school with 104 career receptions for 1,325 yards and 10 TDs.

LSU center P.J. Lonergan
Lonergan started 38 of 42 games played at LSU. The Tigers were 31-7 in the games he started, including 11-2 in 2010, 10-1 in 2011 and 9-3 in 2012. He was selected SEC offensive lineman of the week last season following his performance against Mississippi, and earned SEC Academic honors in 2009.

Montana State defensive tackle Zach Minter
Minter was named first-team All-Big Sky last season after recording 29 tackles, 8.5 tackles-for-loss and three sacks, despite missing two full games and most of two others with injuries. He recorded his third career interception against UC Davis, setting up a late touchdown in a seven-point win.

Memphis receiver Marcus Rucker
Rucker started 26 of 44 games played over four seasons at Memphis, catching 126 passes for 1,665 yards and 14 touchdowns. He finished his career ranked fifth in school history in receptions, sixth in yards and tied for seventh in TDs. Last year as a senior he started all 12 games and led Memphis in receiving with 47 catches for 525 yards and three TDs.

Georgia Southern defensive tackle Brent Russell
Russell started 52 career games, recording 231 tackles, 54.5 tackles-for-loss, 25 sacks, one interception and five blocked kicks. Last season as a senior he registered 44 tackles, 8.5 tackles-for-loss and 4.5 sacks in 13 games.

Oklahoma punter Tress Way
Way was named All-Big 12 honorable mention by the conference's coaches last season when he placed 22 of 53 punts inside the opponents' 20-yard line. He ranks No. 1 in Oklahoma history with a 44.0-yard average per punt and hit five punts of 70 yards or more, including a 75-yarder at TCU.

North Carolina State cornerback C.J. Wilson
A four-year contributor at North Carolina State, Wilson tied a school career record by returning three interceptions for TDs. He graduated in December 2011 with a degree in sports management after just three-and-a-half years.

[chet8503]

Well Middleguard I tend to agree with you , but we desperately need a center and Lonergan was one of the leaders on one of the best teams in the country .

[Middleguard]

Anybody know anything about C.J. Wilson other than he was suspended for four games?
I thought this draft was supposed to be filled with CBs. How did the Bears wind up with this guy?

[Rusty Trombagent]

nice little article about lonergan. not really worth it's own thread though.
