Briggs is the answer and worth our 12th!

[HHURRICANE]

This can't be any easier. Over the last 3 years:

Adalius Thomas averaged 63 solo tackles a year, had 9 sacks, 4 ints and 8 FFs.

London Fletcher averaged 100 solo tackles a year, had 3 sacks, 5 ints and 3 FFs.

Lance Briggs averaged 100 solo tackles a year, had 3.5 sacks, 6 ints and 6 FFs.

When the 2007 season starts Fletcher will be 32, Thomas will be 30, and Briggs will be 26!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is he worth the 12th pick in the draft staright up? Yes.

Willis might be awesome but Briggs is a young proven commodity that would be a starter on this roster for potentially 6 or 7 years!!

Playing next to Urlacher might make you better but when you are averaging 100 solo tackles a year by yourself you can play ball!!

I agree, he's worth pick number 12

come on Marv! get it done! I doubt that we will start serious negotiations with the Bears until we are done negotiating the Turner trade.

Briggs is worth the #12, and is a proven starter who would pair nicley with Crowell

Re: Briggs is the answer and worth our 12th!

I'm on board with this.

HHurricane - didn't you once laugh really hard at me because I started the "Get Lance Briggs bandwagon?

I think you owe me some since you just jumped on.

The only OLB better than Briggs is Merriman. If we got Lance, I'd quickly scoop up a jersey.

Do you really think that they are set at WLB and can't do SLB? Come on! Each player is versatile and could most likely play the strong side. I bet Briggs could do it with no problems.

Re: Briggs is the answer and worth our 12th!

even so, I'm sure with Briggs and Crowell, they will help out who ever's on the opposite side elevate their game.

Re: Briggs is the answer and worth our 12th!

now your talking about a guy who has never made the probowl at SS.. you want to put briggs there? you think briggs is big enough to play SS LB? i dont.

i think it is pointless to trade our first round pick to fill a spot that is already filled with a young up and coming player.

it doesnt matter.. it is an internet rumor with no other sites posting anything confirming it

I just pos repped you.

I laughed not because I don't think he would be a fit but for the fact that I highly doubt we get him. I am saying he's the answer I'm not saying we are getting him.

If we are talking about not bringing Briggs in so we can keep Ellison where he is than I would have to strongly disagree with you. We lost Spikes and Fletcher last I looked. What position does Willis play?
