Yeah, I doubt they actually draft 4 OL. So there probably will be another position or 2 added. But hopefully they draft at least one T and 1 guy that has G/C flexibility. Then use FA for another T and G.

By any means necessary, the OL room needs to be flipped.

Best move would be to trade our #16 for 1st rounders in 2024, 2025 and a 4ths in 2022 and 2023.

OL
QB
LB
CB

Biggest needs

If the staff think Sam is possibly the guy got to go with LT early right? We can't continue to have turnstile play at the second most important offensive position.

I'm drafting BPA at CB or LT in the 1st if I am making the pick myself. Then pick BPA at the other position in round 2 (unless that guy is ranked way lower than guys at other positions).

The bears are in a very interesting spot.

This is how a middle of the road QB can really hurt the franchise.

Do they draft QB with that first pick or do they hold on to Justin?

Haskins did it to us, if we had not drafted him we probably would have looked at Tau/ Herbert more.

If I'm a Bears fan, I'm hoping someone really wants Bryce Young and the Bears trade down.

If a better QB is there you take him.

Fields has some promise but he still has a long way to go to develop as a pocket passer. They could probably get a nice pick for him in a trade.

The biggest mistake would be keeping the 1st pick and JF.

They got get trade assets from one of those two because they have so many holes.

Fields is essentially a RB that occasionally throws the ball.

The issue with Chicago is , they need almost every position on offense... Bryce Young isn't Joe Burrow, he's good but not special like that. I keep JF and build around him like Buffalo did Allen

[skinsfaninok]

HOU will prob trade up to get BY, and it won't cost them that much

The value for a QB is so much higher than any other position in football.
No reason to focus on another position if you don’t have a proven QB.

The bears would be foolish not to upgrade their QB.

Because we have a lame duck coach, I don’t recommend trading up.
If there is a guy at 16 that looks better than Howell, we need to draft him.

Luckily for the Howell fan club, which I'm a part of, there won't be. So we can fix the rest of the holes and see what Howell has.

Using picks and FA to fix the remaining holes, even if it turns out Howell sucks all the balls, isn't a terrible thing.

We'll likely have a whole new regime. Draft a QB in 2024 and plug him into a good football team.

With our whole organization in a weird lameduck year, it's like the perfect opportunity to try out a young QB with potential.
