    The Bears Young Talent

    What is really nice is aside from the 2009 3rd round [Pool Jumper and Iglesias] I saw a number of Bears 2nd-7th round picks out there contributing in a big way to the win.

    Henry Melton
    DJ Moore
    Johnny Knox
    Major Wright
    Matt Forte
    J'Marcus Webb
    Earl Bennett
    Kellen Davis

    I really like the young nucleus of players that we are developing.

    What about Lance Louis and Chris Williams? I understand we spent a high #1 on Williams, but if he continues to work out at guard, It's not a huge waste of a pick.

    Before Louis was injured, what did you think of his play?

    We need to add some youth at LB. Urlacher and Briggs are getting older. Urlacher played well and has almost 2 full seasons of injuries off his body, so he should be good for another 2-3 seasons. We don't have any depth at the position and will need to address that in the off season.

    Overall though, agree with your original post about the youth movement and their contributions to the team.

    I'm just going to give some more love for Reed here. That kid is a tenacious, high-motor guy to come into the game situationally at first and as a closer down the stretch to help put away games with his energy while everyone else is tiring down. He made a few real nice plays out there.
