I think Castillo is a fine coach, but I am skeptical about his ability to pixie dust a couple of busts into OL upgrades. I would love for a legit upgrade. I said this in another thread earlier today - even if Pace and Castillo are right and Ifedi is really good at RG for us in 2020 he’s going to parlay that into an Ereck Flowers deal (3/$30M) next year that will have him elsewhere after 2020 anyway. Getting a guy who can start at RG in the draft is necessary whether Ifedi works out or not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting a guy who can start at RG in the draft is necessary whether Ifedi works out or not. While I agree with this premise, I don't think things are quite so position-specific. The Bears can get significant cap savings if they move on from Leno or Massie. If you draft an OT, you can cut Leno/Massie and spend the savings on a starting RG in free agency. Drafting a quality OL will be important beyond 2020 and that OL does not necessarily need to be a RG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
