Re: 2020 Chicago Bears

From 2016...
Steelers selected Miami (FL) CB Artie Burns with the No. 25
overall pick in the 2016 draft.
Burns (6'0/193) made 23 starts in three seasons with the 'Canes,
finishing on a high note with an ACC-best six interceptions in
2015. He ran 4.46 at the Combine, adding an explosive 10-foot-4
broad jump but marginal 33-inch vertical at Miami's Pro Day.
Burns' strengths are his athleticism, ballhawking ability, and
length (33 1/4-inch arms), while his primary weakness is
frustrating game tape on which Burns has a tendency to get lazy
and play undisciplined. Burns has No. 1-corner upside, but could
also flame out quickly. Raw after spending so much time in track
and field at The U, Burns is a boom-bust prospect.

watched tape of Burns on youtube - it was pretty much all bad.
His technique, footwork etc., all bad, was drafted as an
athlete. Was only like 20 when drafted.
fine with taking a flyer. Not worried as I've always liked
Tolliver.
Safety & OL are the needs now.

Do not expect wholesale changes on the OLine. Just not
happening. Expect additions, probably via the draft and UDFAs.
Maybe some changes when veterans cut after the draft.

We need to replace Long at RG. Now if we could get a stud for
that, that would be nice, where ever he comes from.

I can assure you of one thing. If the O line doesn't play better
than last year, it won't matter who the QB is..

Absolutely, But cap being what it is and extensions given out to
players who didnt play up to contracts given, the line is what
you are going to get unless the OLine coach can improve the
techniques

I like both of the bears recent secondary signings. High upside
with experience at a low risk. Lucas has a lot of special teams
value as well.

No OL signing is a curiosity.
Surely Pace will address that in the draft. Maybe a future
tackle who can play guard this year.
Is it possible to trade down one of the seconds to one of the
teams with 2 thirds?
Maybe Dallas can give us the point formula.

hoping a OL coach can spin manure into gold is truly wishful
thinking.
The play of the OL was horrific last year & we lost Lucas. Leno
and Coward were jokes.

I feel like for years I wish the Bears would just draft multiple
OL man with first couple of picks. Trenches win in the NFL.
Plus OL is all about knowing each other and anticipating where
the other guy will pick up. Young guys learning to play
together would be beneficial for years to come. I would not be
opposed to three OL picks with first 3 picks. Let's get the
OLine fixed!
