Hard to predict anything til the dust settles...
Give me a strong defense and good solid run game...

[B]We'll see how the draft goes, but I certainly think the Bears
can compete in '23.[/B]
So do I. But I am worried about all the chatter about 45 Oline
players and no Dline 3 technigue.
You cant put a toad on the DLine and expect him to play like a 3
technique. With no Dline improvement leaves doubts about how
well the '23 season will end up.

The D can improve if they can at least stop the run. If you
have the cover guys you can always blitz. But there's really no
substitute from a pass rush from the front 4.
Bears need to find at least 2 starting pass rushers in this
draft. That will be tough figuring they are supposed to go OT
in R1. Poles strategy might just be to draft the F out of the
front four after R1.

Like you said earlier, that’s what makes the non-pursuit of
Ngakoue so puzzling…

He's been with so many teams that one has to wonder if he's just

I know it won't be a popular opinion, but I think they'll be OK
just adding one - at least early in the draft. I think Gipson
and Robinson will be fine with a sturdier interior of the
D-line. If the DTs offer ZERO pass rush threat, then non-elite
DEs will have trouble I might move Justin Jones to DE and look
for some more beef inside.

I think the Bears are 100% better off adding to the O-line.
Defense can wait. Get the offense humming first. the years of d
first winning teams is behind us.

Like the NBA you got to be able to make your own shot - Gipson
and Robinson couldn't do that last year. Robinson was a rookie
so there's hope but Gipson in my opinion was one of the biggest
disappointments of the season. Gipson is still only 26 and
coming into a contract year so there's still some hope.
But the addition of journeyman part time starTer DeMarcus Walker
and run stopping Andrew Billings isn't nearly enough. Bears can
manipulate the draft so they can get a really good RT and 2
d-lineman with their 3 picks in R1/R2. After that I still go
D-line and corner with 2 of the 3 next picks.
