I just feel in this scheme everything defensively has to be about the DL...look at the Eagles with Jonathan Gannon (former DB coach under Flus) & Bills with Lesley Frasier (All the Lovie connections)...those guys are brining wave after wave of pass rushers and it makes everybody's job in the back seven so much easier... I also think there are some good options in free agency before we even get to the draft... Da'Ron Payne Javon Hargrave Zach Allen Dre'Mont Jones A'Shawn Robinson Dalvin Tomlinson Teair Tart (RFA) Jordan Phillips Kevin Strong Jr Charles Omenihu Yannick Ngakoue Dawuane Smoot Dante Fowler Marcus Davenport Shaq Lawson Rasheem Green All guys who could help us to different degrees.

Those guys would be my biggest targets, and i would want to sign at least 2 of them with the expectation our FRP is also a DL/edge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its how many quality youngish guys you sign to multi-year contracts that will be interesting. Against how many 1 year journeyman contracts you give. I know he wants to primarily build through draft, but he has to hit a floor on spending over 4 years I think it is. So some real FA spending will have to be done. But on other hand with so much dead and spent money he may not be as far from floor as we may think even with the large amount of cap space. I don't believe it will be quite the FA spending spree many Bears fans are expecting to see this offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dll2000 Posted December 7, 2022 Author Share Posted December 7, 2022 Our current DL and its depth in total top to bottom is the worst in my immediate Bears memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we need to work the tiers...I expect at least two tier 1 talents probably on 4+ year talents...four-six tier 2 talents probably on 2-3 years deals...then a lot of guys on 1 year deals as depth or competition from the lower tiers...I think he has to give himself a few "needs" as possible heading into the draft so he can be true to his board and take the best talent possible as well as to given him the flexibility to move about whenever he sees fit...he was really clear he wants to give himself as many swings as possible and it is tough to do that if you have a lot of really definitive needs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
