blue
n.— «Who are the Patriots eyeing at No. 18? Both teams have to want to make a move. I think the Bears need to stay put. They need what are called “blues” and those are players who could start for any team in the league. How many blues do the Bears have right now? Lance Briggs. Tommie Harris when he’s healthy. Charles Tillman maybe. You get blues in the first round.» —“Four Down Territory, March 26: Constructing a package for Cutler” by Brad Biggs Chicago Sun-Times: Inside the Bears (Illinois) Mar. 26, 2009.
