Bears Elate South Jersey Fan, Acquire DL Depth

Da Bears picked up DT Darwin Walker for a draft pick which helps them at their most vulnerable position. By no means am I touting Walker as a world beater, but he is a good pick-up to take the pressure off of Dvoracek as he is groomed to be the starter. With Briggs back on board for the season, I don't see how the Bears would not be the team to beat again (in reality, not just preseason hype machines).

Walker is not that good. He was a surprise for the Eagles after getting cut by the Cards, I believe. After that, he has been average at best. Really, if the Eagles thought he was any good, you think they would have gotten rid of him? Especially with the DT position for the Eagles being so weak last season?

Exactly...he's a capable player...that's about it...probably a better pass rusher...but look at the eagles run stopping ability last year...that was mostly walker...and he tends to be injury prone...

He'll look better with the talent the Bears have around him. Talent that the Eagles didn't have (healthy) last season. If the Bears were in need of a play maker or an impact player, I'd agree with you. They just need him to be good in a rotation and eat up space. However, he might put up good numbers since Anderson, Ogunleye and Harris will attract alot of attention.

Do the Eagles have 3 DEs and a DT as talented as Anderson, Ogunleye, Brown and Harris respectively? Healthy or otherwise.

I became a Bears fan in SJ because when I was young and getting to sports, The Bears won the SB, made a music video, and were arguably one of the best teams in the original Tecmo Bowl. The latter being a huge part my friends and my rainy day activities.
