    Bears | A. Brown to be shopped
    Sun, 29 Apr 2007 15:20:04 -0700

    Brad Biggs, of the Chicago Sun-Times, reports the Chicago Bears will likely look to trade DE Alex Brown, after drafting DE Dan Bazuin with their second-round pick.

    Hes a good player and i don't think it would take that much to get him, what do you guys think

    Jets fans hate giving up draft picks, at least that's the reaction I witnessed this weekend by a lot of posters.

    He'd be a great pick up.

    that would be an awesome pick up, even though I am a little concerned that we have eight DE's right now. however, imagine this front three

    first string - Alex Brown / Dewayne Robertson / Shaun Ellis
    second string - Kenyon Coleman / Sione Pouha / David Bowens

    thats pretty impressive

    LOL, you should have heard the Jets fans at Radio City. When they announced that the Jets gave up a 6th round pick to the Panthers, people started groaning haha. I was rolling

    I read that you guys were chanting for Quinn too, which was a surprise to hear. When we traded up, though, that eruption was classic, and I will always remember how loud you guys were that it literally shook Mortenson from his chair.

    I hope the bears would settle with Jmac for Brown .. i mean they were dumb enough to give us Jones and another 2nder .. so it can still happen

    I wasn't sitting in a section with Jets fans (I was sitting near JaMarcus's and CJ's families), but I heard a few (very few actually) Quinn chants. The place went nuts when the Jets traded up.

    It was my first time at the draft and will be my last draft- it is DRAINING but something I needed to do at least once in my life.

    You were at a record long first round, so it must have been like a marathon. At least you witnessed a Jets trade up and an unpredictable first round, albeit not the most talented (on the surface)

    He's way too small to play DE in a 3-4. 6'3" 260lbs.

    Is he fast enough (4.7 or less speed) to play OLB?

    Alex Brown would be an OLB for us, not DE. But getting him for JMac would be a steal for us. Alex Brown is a pretty decent player.

    Alex Brown would be a hell of a player at OLB in a 3-4. Great passrushing talent, ever since his Gator days.

    There have been a couple of threads on him already if you feel like doing a search. My opinion is he is way too small to play DE in the 3-4 so you would have to bring him in as an OLB. The Bears don't want to get rid of him so you would have to pay them a pretty penny to get it done. Probably not worth it, but who knows. Supposedly a really good clubhouse guy (Mangini sort) so I'm sure they'll at least explore the idea....
