Other teams' cuts thread..

43 minutes ago - The Bears' cut list will include top 2009 draft pick Jarron Gilbert. He had two sacks and a forced fumble in the final two preseason games in an effort to save his job at DE.. Gilbert started his career at DT but was later moved to DE. Bears RapidReports

This guy was a 3rd round pick just last year. Has the size you want in a 3-4 DE. I would love for us to scoop him.

Gilbert's scouting report:

Positives: Rare athleticism for a player of his size. Versatile defender with experience at tackle and end. Good size potential. Naturally large man with room for plenty of additional muscle mass. Good initial quickness off the snap. Flashes the functional upper-body strength to disengage from blockers. Surprising balance for his height. Can break down in space and make the secure tackle.

Negatives: Struggles with leverage inside, and might lack the burst off the snap and flexibility to flank the tackle and close effectively as a defensive end. Too often allows blockers to get into his chest. Inconsistent getting his hands up in the passing lanes. Questionable level of competition. Better raw athlete than football player.

Compares To: TY WARREN, New England -- Gilbert is more of a 3-4 defensive end rather than an edge rusher in a 4-3 alignment. He seems comfortable shooting the gaps to get to the quarterback rather than trying to loop around the edge. If taken by a team operating from primarily a 4-3 base defense, he will be better off playing inside. He has a lot of potential and a rare-sized frame with an excellent wing span, but it took him more than three seasons to start to produce consistently. It could have been due to him settling in at defensive tackle in 2008.

Gilbert's scouting report:

i remember the talk about him being on our board in that draft.

if i recall correctly Chicago picked him a couple picks above us and then we took Brewster? maybe i'm thinking of the wrong year i'm sure someone else can verify that.

i think he wasn't a fit for their 4-3 scheme. i agree he had the 3-4 DE size.

problem for us is we have some good depth there and who would he replace?

Pat White and Rhett Bomar

myron rolle released according to kffl.

I think some of you guys were interested in this guy leading up to the draft.

Pat White and Rhett Bomar

I would maybe take a chance on Pat White if he were willing to commit solely to WR.

Pat White and Rhett Bomar

I'd look at Bomar and get rid of McGee

No. Enough of the QB-to-WR projects please.

I thought McGee was a waste of a draft pick, but he's lightyears ahead of where he was at this time last year. Let's give him another year or two. He could be a very, very good backup.
