       Greg Gabriel said Hall's reputation is "he didn't play unless
       everything is just right"

       WR competition is going to be fierce between Wims, the 2 Halls,
       and Ridley.

       The Bears now have 4 RB/WRs with a shot to make the roster who
       run a sub-4.40 40: Taylor Gabriel, Marvin Hall, Emanuel Hall,
       and Kerrith Whyte.
       Two more - Tarik Cohen and Cordarrelle Patterson - ran a 4.42 at
       the Combine.
       Do you think they've prioritized adding speed?

       Speed kills, so yeah I believe they prioritized it in the draft
       and UDFA. Now they have to coach that talent up on the field.

       I've always contended that the Bears over the years lacked game
       breaking speedsters on offense and defense.
       I was out of town this weekend and haven't read much about the
       draftees, but the first 2 picks tell me that Pace wants to open
       up the offense and is not so concerned about the depth on
       defense (as in prioritizing drafting next year's safety to
       replace Ha Ha or gettng a backup CB for Fuller and Amukamora).
       With all the fanfare of Trubisky and Nagy's offense they still
       were ranked in the bottom 3rd of the league.
       I can't believe Ridley was there in the 4th.  Crazy.   I know he
       had a disappointing 4.58 40 time but then again Ju Ju Schuster
       ran a 4.54 and got drafted at the very end of round 2.  The two
       have some similarities.
       As for Montgomery many have already pointed out similarities
       with Kareem Hunt.  Both ran around a 4.63 40 at the combine, but
       dropped it into the 4.5s at their pro-day (Montgomery ran a
       4.57).  Not Jamaal Charles but fast enough.
       And speaking of running backs with speed.  Bears drafted FAU's
       Kerrith Whyte.  He's faster than Bears speedsters Taylor Gabriel
       and Tarik Cohen.   Not sure he will get many touches as a HB,
       but he might give Patterson a run for his money returning kicks.
       My big surprise out of the draft - no lineman - offensive or
       defensive.

       They did get OL and DL as UDFAs, in fact 2 of our OLine coach's
       players at ND and they did get some CB and S in the draft and
       UDFA. Its now up to coaching.

       One thing I was always amazed about the Pack was their seeming
       ability to plug in WRs from seemingly from nowhere. Looks like
       we are heading that way too

       They got a fast but smallish potential nickel back and a total
       project at safety who has outstanding measurables.  Shelley has
       a chance since his stock dropped due to an injury his senior
       year but its tough to expect much from 7th rounders and the
       UDFAs.

       Coaching.....its all about coaching now. How many times have we
       seen it with the Bears that we draft players with measurables
       high and they fizzle and flop. How about the guy they drafted
       who could jump out of pools.

       I think we are getting more intelligent on how we draft and what
       we draft
