Sugashane Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 If be looking hard at an OT that may start immediately at RG, then has the ability to kick out when Massie is gone. If you feel like you have a Daniels that is pretty well IOLthen go for it but I like the experience in space that usually comes with OTs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TE...Burton is making way too much money for what he is giving us...injury is a concern as well...we need a top quality TE to make this offence truly elite. 2. OG...Long is a goner next offseason...bring in another quality young talent next to Whitehair & Daniels. 3. SS...this one is a real projection as Bush has looked good so far this year and HaHa could lock down the starting spot for a long time but if not replacing Amos and pairing another ballhawk next to Jackson could never be a bad thing. 4. OLB...this moves higher if Floyd still has limited production but even if he breaks out a 3rd pass rusher is always a great thing to have. 5. CB...we have some young talent behind Prince but he won't play for ever on that salary...bring in more depth and competition. 17 hours ago, AZBearsFan said: I wanna see what we get from Burton this year. Despite being a vet and pretty highly paid he was also a projection at that salary in his first year as a starter, and while 54/569/6 isn’t elite it’s pretty darn solid too. He was 10th in receptions and 13th in yards among TE last year, and his AAV is 8th so that’s not really out of whack. I don’t think we need an elite player at that position but I do want to see a consistently good one there. Time will tell if Burton can be that or not but there were definitely flashes to it last year. There's a tight end from FAU, Harrison Bryant, that I am extremely impressed with.

With the depth and youth at WR I think they move on from Gabriel and with all of Longs antics/injuries/contract/age/(also not drafted by this regime) I think he gets shown the door. Amukamara is the tough one for me, with no one really ready behind him I think it would be extremely risky to let him go. Daniel was good for Trubisky for his first couple years but it’s time for him to put his big boy pants on allowing Pace to draft a young guy to groom and move on from CD. TE is so up in the air right now with both Burton and Shaheen it’s almost impossible to predict. Also, I’d be surprised if BOTH Bush and HHCD left in FA. I’d bet one resigns to be the incumbent starter moving forward. This leaves me with.... 1. RG——————— 2. CB 3. EDGE 4. TE 5. QB/OT A couple guys I’ll be keeping a real close eye on at positions of need, tentatively projected around 20-75... OG- Creed Humphrey....Alaric Jackson....Calvin Throckmorton....Mekhi Becton....Liam Eichenberg CB- Bryce Hall....Trevon Diggs....Amik Robertson....CJ Henderson....Essang Bassey...Chase Lucas.....Kindle Vildor EDGE- Kenny Willekes....Jabari Zuniga....Curtis Weaver.....Nick Coe....Jonathan Garvin....Alton Robinson TE- Jared Pinckney....Colby Parkinson....Grant Calcaterra....Bruce Hopkins....Albert Okwuegbunam QB- Steven Montez....Kellen Mond....Shea Patterson....Jacob Eason.....James Morgan I really liked what I saw from Shane Lemieux yesterday (OG from Oregon) even more than Throckmorton I like Montez and Mond a lot For TE's Harrison Bryant (FAU), Josh Falo (USC) and Jake Breeland (Oregon) are 3 guys that fit the new age TE's. They would be good values in round 2 (Bryant) and round 4 (Falo, Breeland) Edited September 1, 2019 by beardown3231 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Long Prince Amukamara Cordarelle Patterson Taylor Gabriel I think in Whyte and Ridley we have potential replacements for Gabriel and Patterson if we need to go that route. We have two 2nds so drafting a CB who might replace Prince seems like a good possibility. Long is a guy we may just hold onto unless for some reason a kid like Bars or Coward ascend that much but in neither do I see what Long brings to the table. Provided he can stay healthy and play at at old level I'm not so sure he'll be gone. Pace has done so well signing the others that money saved there can almost cover what Long costs us.

It's like every Draftnik on the planet must begin getting anxiety attacks in May knowing the next draft is another year away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMHO I'm not sure we can say Whyte or Ridley could be a replacement for Patterson. Patterson is a great KR and a very flexible offensive weapon. Whyte is a 7th round rookie from FAU. I sure hope he's good but I'm not ready to make that claim yet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure hope he's good but I'm not ready to make that claim yet 1) We aren't assured he'll be replaced at all. Some believe he'll have a breakout year under Nagy and be instrumental in helping the Bears get to the SB. 2) You probably couldn't replace all he does with just one guy. That's why I chose two. 3) No claims made. Only possibilities now on the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince is, theoretically, a guy who could continue to play at a high level for quite some time yet.

CB is a position Pace puts a lot of emphasis on so I would like to think it's a spot he'll draft for in 2020. In addition to Shelley who seems destined for the Slot CB spot eventually we have Tolliver on the roster as Prince's backup and only Denmark and Joseph on the PS. None of these guys appears to be even close to Amukamara's level and ready to replace him but I have a feeling that $10 mil 2020 cap hit is gonna come into play. We're just gonna have to let this one play out but I would hate to lose a guy as dependable as Prince has been as a cap casualty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd hate to lose Prince too, I thought he was underrated guy even before he became a Bear. There's a good chance he'd renegotiate for more years for less money per, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
