Bears are signing a bunch of skill guys after the Monday
deadline. If you sign a guy after Monday he doesn't count
against the formula for calculating comp picks in 2021. Right
now Bears lost Ha Ha, Kwiatowski, Pierre-Louis but added Quinn.
That formula ends up giving the Bears 2 comp 6th rounders in
2021.
Since that date has passed Bears signed WRs Trevor Davis and
Ginn and now Houston safety Tashaun Gipson. I think he's the
favorite to start next to Jackson.
I thought that the Bears would go corner in the draft early and
draft a safety later on, but this works for me. With the draft
and this signing defense looks pretty good with much more depth.
Only questionable depth is at ILB with the unproven Joel
Iyiegbuniwe.

The only thing he's proven is he can't ply ILB. Should be easy
to plug in a FA vet (Denzel Perryman?) and maybe a rookie to
finish the roster.

I liked the Iggy pick but he may be more suited for a 4-3 as a
WLB. Not all these guys are immediate successes their rookie
season. He came out a year early out of Western Kentucky.

Is the loss of Lucas also a comp pick?

I got the safety need when they signed Gipson. What I didnt get
is why he has done so much moving around. I have it figured it
out is that he wasnt worth the money he was being paid. I am
glad to see we didnt overpay him. Can he stick? If he plays like
Jane (which I suspect) I kind of doubt it.

Gipson has had two good stints. Drafted by Cleveland then
signed a second contract with Jacksonville and played for 3
years. Probably overpriced himself and went to the Texans...
that and Jacksonville has been slashing payroll. I think it was
a good signing.

Well on the bright side (maybe) of the draft and all those TEs
we won't have to be subjected to Shaheen blocking and running
around like his pants are around his ankles....
I'd still fire anyone having anything to do with TEs in Halas
Hall. You can't be that bad at a position (unless at QB but
that's another discussion) for so long without intentionally
trying to screw it up. And when they had one they traded him
away (Olsen). Its Ditka curse I guess..... :D

I may be the only one on this board but I think the Bears should
keep Shaheen...at least through training camp/preseason.
His problem has always been health. And we got him for another
season under contract let's give him a shot to see what he can
do.
I was not in favor of him being drafted in the 2nd round - too
slow and the small school level of competition. Just not ready
to give up on him just yet.

I would have to see him in training camp to want to keep him.
He's had so few game opportunities.

I would like for the Bears to keep Shaheen, at least until
someone beats him out in a fair competition when he is healthy.
But I am more optimistic about the kid from the Ivy League. I
think he could be as good a pass catching tight end as the one
they gave away for nothing.
