thanks minder! Jets trade up with browns. must be goin for d next qb...

Paddy Power running a few special markets for the Draft.
Draft Position
E.g. Mark Sanchez QB
Under 10.5 picks 4/11 Over 10.5 picks 15/8

Will probably watch d draft on nfl.com so gonna have a few quid on sum of these to see how i do...

Receivers for the Bears is a little shaky but the addition of Cutler elevates not only the Offense but the receivers also. Hester will open up the field for Brandon Lloyd (good hands & OK routes), Rasheed Davis (great hands and excellent route runner), Desmond Clark TE who can catch short/medium passes and Greg Olsen TE who is a TE with WR speed and great hands (like a Gonzales from KC). Matt Forte out of the backfield led all Bear receivers last years so there is another outlet. The Bears have a 3rd round pick where they could pickup a solid WR in the draft.

Dont forget about Earl Bennett, 3rd round pick in last years draft. Cutler was throwing to him for a year at Vanderbilt... The future looks good!!!

Very disappointed that this has happened.  I had imagined Cutler with Denver for the next 5-10 years!

Cant wait until the draft.

Broncos trade up to take Stafford at #1 ? Probably not. Broncos have a load of ammo now to trade up though.

Delighted to pick up Cutler... Now we got some1 to run it & some1 to throw it. Anyone out there that can catch a ball?!!

Dont see the broncos trading up in the draft! The guys on NFL Total Access were sayin that the if the Lions wanted Cutler Denver would prefer the #21 pick over the #1 pick cos ya gotta give a top 10 pick a lot of guarenteed money in his contract.

Flippin hell he only had 7 months with somebody elses players...
In or around 20mill pay off should ease the pain

[Hopefully the Bears if the D picks up a bit and a great QB & WR via trade or draft]

SO going forward to 2009, who looks to be primed for making a play-off run. While the draft and the trades have yet to be settled going on what we've seen this year, I think next year the Falcons will be in there, Patriots might be back strong again, Pittsburgh of course, Tennessee, Miami (if Parcells is still there), Redskins possibly, Panthers, Cardinals clearly have the talent in some positions but I get the feeling Warner wont be there and they need a run game.

Colts are on a downward curve, Eagles, Giants, Chargers Cowboys too,

Hate to say it but watch for the Vikings, Ravens and Saints.

Hopefully the Bears if the D picks up a bit and a great QB & WR via trade or draft.

Yeah. D had no ability to get to opposing QB's last year so that needs to be looked at. They're not that far awat from bieng really good. Hopefully Forte can reproduce his form of last season but he needs some help.

Spot on mag, they never seem to get to the QB. On offense im hoping to see Orton keep improving and show he can be a franchise QB as well as 1st draft pick being a WR. Something to be cheerful about:
The Bears have the easiest schedule in the NFL next year with games against the Lions (0-16) twice, the Rams (2-14) Seahawks (4-12) Browns (4-12) and Bengals (4-11-1). That said, they are the only team that will play all 4 division finalists from this year, steelers, ravens, eagles & cards...

Couple of interesting bets for the superbowl on paddy power....

Distance of the 1st punt over or under 41.5yards, 5/6 either way,

f**k Donovan McNabb, f**k Andre Johnson. I need Matt Forte to have an absolute stormer tonight, in a high scoring game, all touchdowns.

forget about it , you are up against the master, feel pleased to go out to the champion with the 2nd highest score in the semis.
Hitmen will fall easily enough in the final.
