After losing our entire secondary (got Jackson back today) - we've probably had our best two games of the season coverage-wise. Held Cousins to 87 yards and what did Russ have today? 166?Also, Thomas Graham is the nail in Nagy and Pace's coffin IMO.
We2 sat through an entire season of Kindle Vildor being the absolute weakest link on D. I think Graham just earned himself some money. He was great last week, and aside from the early Metcalf TD, he was great again today. (The Metcalf TD, was bad scheme fwiw. Leaving a 2 game rookie on an island with Metcalf is dumb.)
I really like what they've stumbled on with Graham. Him and Johnson could be dynamic.
See? I knew the Bears would come from behind and win the game on a dramatic 2 pt conversion!

Wow we won. So happy. This win will surely catapult us into the Super Bowl next year. (rolls eyes)

Since it was obvious early on that our season was going nowhere, I began to think about the '22 draft, and altho I'm almost always a trenches first guy when it comes to our early picks, I started thinking that maybe the CB spot could and possibly should be our top priority. But the emergence of Graham has given me pause on this idea. Of course you can never have too many solid CBs on your roster, but it doesn't look like the high need it did just a few weeks ago.After losing our entire secondary (got Jackson back today) - we've probably had our best two games of the season coverage-wise.

Not many bright spots to this season, but we may have at least found a legit player or two in the midst of this shitstorm. Graham does look quite solid. Obviously, a small sample size, but he's intriguing.
There's undoubtedly some holes on our D. Especially with some of our core guys aging and/or on their way out. That being said - this upcoming draft has to be, first and foremost, focused on protecting our investment in Fields. As does our free agency period. I understand that with ARob gone, we will need to acquire another WR as well. That being said, we have to be able to protect him before anything else. If that means we have to go into 2022 with Mooney as our #1 and a value type of FA WR as our #2 (along with Kmet)? So be it.Since it was obvious early on that our season was going nowhere, I began to think about the '22 draft, and altho I'm almost always a trenches first guy when it comes to our early picks, I started thinking that maybe the CB spot could and possibly should be our top priority.

I've said on a few occasions that I'd have no problems if we use our first pick on the OL, altho depending on who we keep with respect to the DL/Edge for next year, we may have to give those spots strong consideration. Our D has definitely shown its cracks this season. To me it's been overall the weakest since those gawd awful units of the mid-late 90's. Not as consistently bad, but certainly not up to the standards it has played over the last 20+ years.There's undoubtedly some holes on our D.
