rather see a real good SLB in this draft that can also sub at MLB ala a nate irving

Yeah, thats my Homerism kicking in...to me, we do have the best squad. Steelers be damned.

if pisa had stayed healthy 'maybe".. but with roach at SLB, have to give the edge to pitts "for now" : )

Now maybe we pick up a suprise stud for SLB in this draft and maybe can pass them

Well, i always looked at it from a numbers standpoint, they have 4 LBs to our 3, so the Bears do more with less.

Sometimes my hunches are based on whether or not a guy has a good football name and Nate Irving just sound like a Bears LB name, LOL.

LOL MOST disapointing Name to position in bears draft history.. Mike STONEBREAKER, ND linebacker in 1990's... a perfect name for a tough LB, unfort only his name worked : )

Haha, I remember him too bad he didn't work out. Maybe he got a part in The Flintstones movie as a friend of Freds from the quarry.

Perfect name for it.
