I havent seen any OTs any better in college games than Leno.
Where we have the problem is the other side. Those you target
lower. Maybe 3rd or 4th round. We really need a young stud OT
to bring in to be the backup swing tackle in the event of injury
to your starters. And Leno cant play RT. The blocking is
different.

I saw a mock today that had the ND OG going at 5. Just saying.

I think we are in a great position for a trade down. Two QBs
will go 1&2. Then the top players at their positions, I don't
know all the names. But I think Mayfield did us a favor playing
so well and that maybe where he goes.
Not sure that this is the draft where Pace trades up again. We
can use more picks.

In his last 2 drafts he's traded up in round 1 and down in round
2.
Defensively, we desperately need CB and OLB. Offensively, WR
and maybe O-line.
I'd like the see the Bears end up with adding a 3rd rounder: 1,
2, 3, 4, 4 would be nice.

IMHO thats way too high for an OG, even 15 is high....just
saying
That high is reserved for potential all pro LTs and I havent
seen any of those in this draft

Plus, we do have Jordan Morgan, last year's 5th rounder,
returning from his rookie redshirt year...and Eric Kush is
signed thru 2018 but is more of a solid backup at C/G.
And can we squeeze another year out of Sitton and can all the
king's men put Kyle Long back together again?

Jordan Morgan, is he the one who the Bears coached in the
Senior Bowl? and Kush is the backup guard/center we desperately
missed this past season. Who if anybody is the backup OT who
backsup Leno and Massie? If you are going to develop a solid
line for next year there is where you invest a draft pick.

Did anyone from Wisconsin's offensive line declare for the NFL
draft? They had one of the best I saw.

Still a lot of time for players to move up and down the draft
boards.

The Bears OTs were the most healthy of any position last season.
Leno played every snap and Massie got hurt in game 15 and
replaced by Bradley Sowell in game 16 (he was the guy that drew
the 15 yard penalty for diving at a fallen Viking defender).
Sowell and the other FA veteran lineman Compton have expiring
contracts.
Massie is adequate...he's got another year on his deal. A 3rd
or 4th rounder RT this year might be a good idea.
