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.
Just think this was the WRs only 2 years ago...

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
