it's got to be OL and WR first,second or vice versa. Three top
needs on the team are OL, WR, and LB as they've had lots of
injuries to the LBs. Freeman was out all year and Trevathan was
in, out, in, out. Honestly if they pick nothing in this draft
but OL, WR and LB they're looking pretty good.....

But the problem is that if we draft 10-12 and the OTs graded 1st
round are all gone you dont take an OT with your first round
pick. You dont overreach. Thats what my post above says. You
draft another position. And I sure wouldnt draft a WR that high.
We already got burned doing that. Maybe drop down and get more
picks or take a CB or OLB worthy, but never overreach.

Gotta resign your FA's is what they should do but we've seen
what happened with Marshall and Jeffrey so who knows what
they'll do at corner.....wideout went from a position of
strength to weakness in short order. Wouldn't surprise me if
they let that happen at corner, although corner isn't a position
of strength, it is stronger than it's been in years. So
depending on how they handle the corners, it could quickly be
needing bodies there too. Like every year it seems they can't
get everything they need in the draft or FA. But they cannot let
both corners walk....

Here is an interesting article that should be paid attention to:

I am not a fan of mocks at this time of year but drafting
Clemson players usually works well. Again bring on the combine.

Extend Prince and tag Fuller is my guess.

Agreed, they are both serviceable. I'd like a couple of more
tails to rotate with Hicks and Goldman on the inside - Bullard
and two more, plus an outside backer if we keep the same scheme.
I wish there was a way to keep Callahan healthy because the
difference that he and Trevation make to our defense is
noticeable when they are out.

Prince I can understand. Fuller is a different animal. Tag him?
Didnt we tag Jeffery? I think you make him your best offer and
let him go. I doubt he stays without overpaying him. While I
admit he is worth keeping, a high offer is just used to up the
bidding price of a player who isnt interested in coming back
like Alshon. Personally I'd be shocked if he wanted to be back
here next year, even were he to say he wanted to be back. I'd
just plan on replacing him.

Bears will need to sign a top FA CB or draft one in the top 2
rounds to replace Fuller. You saw the difference in our defense
this year (ranked 8th) with quality CB/safety play with a decent
but inconsistent pass rush. If you don't extend Fuller then
you'll be paying someone else similar money. Fuller is 25 going
on 26 and the Bears have a history with him. He plays the run
well but lacks top end speed.
Amukamora might be had with another 1 year deal. He'll be 29
next year and hasn't recorded an interception since 2015 (he had
one). I doube teams will be lining up big long term deals for
him.
Marcus Cooper is signed thru 2019 at $5M per. That's starters
money.
If you look at Pace's history he doesn't depend on draft choices
starting (can't trust 'em). So even if he drafts a CB high
he'll have to have at least 2 guys that he'll be comfortable
starting ahead of the rookie.
Finally, why don't the Bears let Deoindre Hall get some reps at
CB in the season finale?

It wouldnt hurt to let him play some. He needs experience and
the season is a loss anyways, so whats one more loss? Its time
to see what we have and need next year.

You'd think that, but Fox is desperate for wins, thinking that
an upset at Minnesota might help him keep his job.
Would like to more of Roy Robertson-Harris too and maybe Rashaad
Coward. Their few snaps are only because Unrein was put on IR
a few weeks ago.

49ers winning easily, Denver losing badly. Looks like we will
be drafting 8
