Bears - Luck

[Tateforheisman]

So I am playing a franchise and imported a draft class, I have the 20th pick in the draft with the Chicago Bears...thinking I will pick Blackmon (he was rated late 1st-2nd with the game...and my pick comes up and sitting there at 20 is Andrew Luck (even though his "rating" said top 10 picks). I decided to pick him and then play Cutler for a year or so while continuing to shore up line...then trade Jay for an established Wide out.

Any opinions on my moves/who is a wide out I should target??

Well, for realism sake, you would want to find a team that also needs a QB.

Given the relationship between WR and QB, it's hard to find a team that has one but not the other.

However, I like the idea of sending Cutler to Kansas City. They've got Dwayne Bowe who is a dominant receiver and I don't really think Cassell or Orton is the future there.

Just a possibility.

Seahawks could use an upgrade at QB , maybe send Cutler for Sidney Rice , he has decent size and speed he should be a #1 with Knox at #2 and Earl Bennet in the slot (BTW I dont use hester at WR when i use the Bears he is my #4 WR and KR/PR) , then get to work on that O-line.

Also be on the look out for a replacement for Brian Urlacher

I wouldn't recommend going for Rice, he's injury prone which is really a killer for a wide receiver he'll miss at least 2-4 games every season.

I was thinking KC with Bowe too. I've started to think about replacing Urlacher...Great player but debating trading him to get picks and value while he still has value.

I played my first season with Urlacher and then traded him to move up in the draft to select Alshon Jeffery. I drafted Dont'a Hightower in the secound round. Came in 81 overall, A potential. After my second year of Franchise, Colin McCarthy became available as a free agent. He's a good, young MLB that you could develop. I use him as an OLB in my scheme though.
