*GM Rose, along with Head Coach Lovie Smith make there way up to the podium*
With the draft not far away we are heavily preparing and scouting the talent, as we have 5 picks in the first 2 rounds. We will be looking to vastly improve our secondary. Corey chavous's days in Chicago could be numbered, just like Anthony Henry's were earlier today. In Return for Henry we picked up another 2nd Round Pick, we now own the 12th, 18th, 19th and 20th overall picks in the 2nd round of this years draft.
I feel this team is ready to compete with the best this year, as long as the offense plays up to its true potential which i'm very confident it will do. Rex Grossman had a great season last year and we expect him to improve even more this season. Kevan Barlow is a shoe in for 1000 yards at the running back position, and at Wide Receiver we have two 1000 yard receivers from last year with Anquan Boldin and Brandon Lloyd. On defense i'm a little skeptical, it is very evident that we need to improve our secondary. If we can do that the defense will be fine.
If anybody has any questions feel free to speak your mind
Coach... with the departure of Henry, Corey Chavous is the only person in your secondary over the age of 26. Do you plan on bringing in veterans to improve your secondary, or are you looking to draft more young players?

For Madden people the best way to explain it is that he has a very low awareness.

Accually Corey Chavous was dealt aswell, i am not looking to bring in veterans i have a very good young secondary and i plan on keeping it that way. the secondary this upcoming season will look as follows:
CB1: Mike Rumph(84)
CB2: Keiwan Ratliff(80)
Nickel: Brandon Browner(80)
FS: Ken Hamlin(86)
SS: Ernest Shazor(1st Round Pick)

You had some good quality players on D and do you think a second round pick can honestly step in and fill a prove cornerbacks shoes?
I'm very confident in my defense, its very young but at the same time there is lots of talent in the system. I never ended up drafting a CB, instead i traded one of my 2nd Rounders in a deal for 22 year old CB Brandon Browner(80)
