I agree to an extent. Relying only the draft to fix our front seven would not cut it, not even close. It's why I'm focusing more on offseason defensive free agents than offensive, altho we need help on both sides. But assuming we end up with a top 3-5 draft pick, there's no offensive player worth taking in those slots, especially if a couple of QBs are taken early. So I'm fine with grabbing someone from the DL, be it tackle or edge, with our first pick. OR trading back where other positions can come into play. At least one of these three should be there when the Bears pick:I hate the idea of using the draft to fix our front 7. It would take an enormous amount of money first of all. But most importantly I want young guys from the draft to build around. The core of this team needs to be built from the draft to have longevity in this league.
Will Anderson, edge - Bama
Jalen Carter, DT - Georgia
Myles Murphy, edge - Clemson
These three are almost unanimously regarded by analysts as amongst the top 3 players in the draft not labeled a QB. None of them will likely be there if Poles trades back, but that's for another discussion. If he stays put, one of them will almost undoubtedly be a Bear.
