I will be very interested to see who our DC is as that could have a huge impact on CBs that we go after. If we go with Flip at HC and he brings Pettine... we are going to want lockdown man corners.

I'm one of the few people here who have no problem taking OL in the first round. I really don't see any elite OLB talent outside of Chub. I don't think we can just force an OLB if a trade down option is not available. Also lets look at the numbers- the defense is still a top 15 unit as is. The offense is terrible around 28th. If we have a consistent offense our D will be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has so much strength in his lower half that he can stand up some NTs one-on-one (he's the anti-Grasu in that regard). Keep him there, let him continue to hone his craft. There is really only one OG I really like in FA but a few C so Whitehair being versatile really helps us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G08 Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but he has played better at center than at guard in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindyCity Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 The problem with signing an interior OLmen is that you won't be saving money. You will be replacing an 8 million dollar player [Sitton] with an 8-9 million dollar player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At OG it would be a push for us financially, which means that player would need up be a clear upgrade over Sitton. You would save 2.5 million if you were to draft Nelson, which is not nothing. I don't think you make that decision based on cap space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topwop1 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Guys it's a moot discussion anyway because it's unlikely Bears will pick Nelson. I think it should come down to OLB (Chubb, Okoronkwo, Key), CB (Jackson,Fitzpatrick) or OT (Brown, Williams, Miller). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindyCity Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Matt Speigel on the Score made an interesting comment. He spoke to a friend who is an NFL assistant coach who said, 1. Everyone in the NFL knows the Bears job is going to open up and people are already preparing. 2. With no McVay or Shannahan this year it is going to be a wide open market and really hard to predict who will end up where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're preparing then it means they're at least interested, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
