I’m making a few assumptions here…
-
We move on from JF1
-
JJ gets the tag
-
EJax & Whitehair are cut. Mooney is let go.
With that, I think the Bears have 6 main holes to fill this offseason (in no particular order).
-
QB1
-
C
-
WR2
-
DE2
-
FS
-
3T
A few thoughts on this…
-
Bears can likely fill 2 of these spots with the first round rookies. If by chance they trade back, they’ll likely recoup a high 2nd that can immediately contribute.
-
This is a strong draft at the top for QB, WR, OT
-
The FA class (pending) has some great names at WR, S and DL. Bears will have close to $90m in cap to spend (again).
How do ya’ll see it playing out? Any names you are high on?
QB: Williams/Maye (first rounder 1)
C: idk, free agency or draft but doubt we get Cushenberry.
WR2: 2nd round WR like AD Mitchell, Troy Franklin,… (requires a trade for a second rounder) or just FA
DE2: Latu/Turner/Verse/Chop (first rounder 2 because Edge is much more valuable than WR2)
FS: draft/FA (not to deep into the safety market outside of Winfield)
3T: Dexter/Pickens
