FINALLY; The Chicago Bears Listen To Me!
“I cannot understand you,
To me you live in a world of chaos.
To me you live in a world of chaos.
Life is a play you star on ,
To you it's all a game.”
--Sonata Arctica, from “Silver Tongued” from the LP Winterheart’s Guild, 2004.
Having followed the NFL Draft for years (Kiss My Hairy Tush, Mel Kiper)—I am always critical of whom the Bears draft.
Last year, I (and I will now add stupidly) thought the Bears went the cheap route, but considering Hester is a phenomenon and the jury is out on Manning and Anderson is incredible: I will concede that I was absolutely wrong.
Noting that, I wanted a tight end last year. This year (due to the luxury of security) The Chicago Bears drafted a tight-end in the first round. Last time that happened—Mike Ditka in 1961—two years before my illustrious birth. The tight-end was Greg Olsen from Florida who claims to love football. He is also ranked on almost every board as the #1 Tight-end.
I thought the Bears would draft an Offensive Lineman, but my mistake. This is better than I thought.
The Bears immediately followed through with Dan Bazuin a defensive lineman. Most folks might question this one, but I think it is a great move. Considering the injuries last year, the Bears were left with Boone and Scot starting in the Super Bowl. Uhg! They saw the need, as do I. Boone has moved on and Scot may stick around. Bazuin is from the awesome Central Michigan football tradition—that was a joke. Considering it is such a small school, the Bears scouting staff saw something that others were willing to pass on by. Since I went to ISU, I understand. Jury is out, but I am a believer that this kid would walk through Hell for the Bears.
The third round landed the Bears Garrett Wolfe from NIU (local player) as a running back. I will take it, as I am not convinced that the Bears did not trade their best offensive player in Thomas Jones. Time will tell.
For the Lance Briggs fan (of which I will convert if he PLAYS) Michel Okwo was drafted in the third round. Okwo is from Stanford, where he had a stellar career. There is a “screw you” tendency from the Bears faithful on this move—but here is a clue Lance—no one asked about you on draft day. Ouch—that has to hurt. Not only that, but you claim the Bears do not recognize your talent, yet your agent sees you as a money maker, so congrats—you are a whore to his pimp ass. Sorry, had to get it out.
Fourth round pick, Josh Beekman is a steal. A fine quality center/Offensive lineman—I predict he will replace an aging Fred Miller or Alex Brown at this point.
From the Sweetwood-land of prognosticating: I am convinced so far, so good for the best team in the NFC. I expect a repeat.
My Sweetwood prediction is The Chicago Bears in the Super Bowl in 2008 or 2009.
To you it's all a game.”
