WindyCity Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 The Bears are going to need a WR1 CB1 OLB2 Next offseason, those are all expensive top of the draft positions. I understand compeletly why they don't want to add LT to that list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogerthat Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 LT is off the board for 1st round pick Its going to be a WR in round one next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OT, OLB (rusher), CB are all pretty major question marks at this time (OT less now with Leno being locked down but RT specifically). Granted I haven't done much diving into WR prospects, but there are so many rent-a-body players on here IDK who will be re-signed or what needs we will have.

It is really a wait and see how the season plays out for a good amount of positions on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courtland Sutton is the only guy who would really interest me as high as we will more than likely be picking and I'm not sure how he stacks up to guys like Arden Key as an OLB or even Christian Wilkins on the DL in terms of talent and need...if we are looking at talent alone I would still be more than happy to go LT with Connor Williams and you also have to consider Darwin James if he is on the board at safety.

If Amukamara and Fuller both show they are solid starters they can still be re-signed, someone opposite of Meredith might show they can be a solid #2, free agency might lead to a major pick up, etc. There is just so much that can and will change prior to the draft I just don't see how anyone can say they know what the first pick would be.

I am intrigued by the group. Kirk, St. Brown, Ridley, Sutton are all solid prospects for the first, but I might be more intrigued to look at Callaway later since he likely will drop due to his off-field deals. Might be able to get him in the 4th like Dede Westbrook. If you draft Williams are you plugging him in at LT and shifting Leno over, or starting him at RT and flipping? I think the "Leno can't play RT" is overplayed. He was bad there a few years ago, then took over for Bushrod and was still pretty bad. Took a step forward last year and was average at best, and hopefully would take another this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmike90 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 The breakdown of this contract makes it an excellent one for the Bears...in truth it's more like a 2 year fully guaranteed $14 contract...the next three years nothing is guaranteed after the 3rd day of the season in year 3 and nothing at all is guaranteed in year's 4 & 5... http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/football/bears/ct-charles-leno-bears-contract-money-20170828-story.html Quote 2017 Base salary $1.797 million (fully guaranteed) Signing bonus $4.5 million (fully guaranteed) Roster bonus $2.5 million (fully guaranteed) 2018 Base salary $4.9 million (fully guaranteed) Workout bonus $100,000 2019 Base salary $7.9 million ($4.303 million guaranteed for injury only, $7.9 million total becomes fully guaranteed third day of league year) Workout bonus $100,000 Escalator $250,000 if named to Pro Bowl or first team All-NFL 2020 Base salary $7.9 million Workout bonus $100,000 Escalator $250,000 if named to Pro Bowl or first team All-NFL 2021 Base salary $8.9 million Workout bonus $100,000 Escalator $250,000 if named to Pro Bowl or first team All-NFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugashane Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 ^^^ Yep, that is a great deal. Very safe for us and if he progresses we got a steal. If he gets a major injury, he is set for life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dll2000 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Charles Leno is underrated if anything. He is not a great player and had some bad games, but he has been pretty darn good in a lot of games and just as important stayed remarkably healthy and available where most of league and this team has not. You know how much worse this team would be if he went down this season? It would be a train wreck. They have terrible depth at tackle and have for 3 years running at least.

He is a HOF compared to Mike Adams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
