We need to draft the tallest DL we can with monkey arms lol.
Can't get there, just fly the wingspans to disrupt the pass
lanes

Cutler can do that but not quite as well as Rodgers, Brees and
Brady.
Cutler could do that just as well as those other guys if he had
WRs of even NFL average size who could get open, and some
protection.
He is much bigger (taller) than either Rodgers or Brees, and
more physically gifted than all three of them.
The Bears are just about the only team in the NFL whose QB is
bigger than all his WRs. It's no wonder he can't always get
them the ball, and a miracle he did it as many times as he did
this year.

Peppers (6'7) and Izzy (6'6) are pretty damn tall, with long
arms. Same deal with Wootton. But for whatever reason they're
not knocking down a lot of passes at the line.
The other thing that would really help is if we'd get a lot more
physical on WRs and TEs within that first 5 yards where contact
is allowed. So many times we just give a WR or TE the cushion
and he gets into the crease with no challenge whatsoever. That's
just shooting fish in a barrel for any decent QB.

Well we ranked 6th against the rush and 28th against the pass.
So draw your own conclusions as to what part of the defense we
need to beef up.
I'd take our 2 #3's and go cornerback ... however a T.E. in
that round wouldnt hurt either.
N.E. is putting up unreal numbers with the two T.E. set.
They are putting Hernandez in at RB and he is getting yards.
You could almost say that N.E. has given up on the WR position
outside of Walker.
Did the Packers suffer from having a week off?
Did we suffer last year from having the week off?
Did the NYG's come in fresh at Lambou with no time off?
Did the Packers come in fresh at Soldiers last year with no
time off?
Judge it for yourselves.

You make several very good points there, jj.

Shoot its like the entire d-line had alligator arms last season.
Peppers went from 9 PDs to 4 PDs. Idonijie had none last year
(had 3 in 2010). And our DTs were almost entirely shut out of
deflections - Okoye had the only 1. Melton, Paea, Toeaina,
Adams - all goose eggs.

I wonder if it's personnel, technique, coaching or all of the
above.
- Maybe they're being coached to aggressively push into the
O-Linemen vs. just standing there jumping up and down with their
arms up.
- Maybe opposing O-Linemen have figured out a way to get into
Peppers and Izzy's arms at the snap and keep them from getting
them up.
- Maybe we need to run more games or stunts to get Peppers and
Izzy coming up the middle where their wingspan can do the most
good. Or maybe we need to disguise those games and stunts
better.
- Maybe we need taller DTs (none of our DTs are taller than 6'3
and Adams is only 6'1).
Could be a lot of things or a combination, but the bottom line
is when you look at how our DL played and then compare that to a
truly dominating unit like the Giants, the Bears DL was not up
to the task... at least in defending the pass game.

Sweet... maybe he falls to us now.

This guy is the best CB in this draft and exactly what we need
to counter CJ, Jennings, etc.
Even with this brain-dead move he will not fall below the
mid-2nd round.
