The 2nd post in the thread will be reserved for CCS Members' Mock Drafts
I flippin' love the work you put into these things man. Srsly.
But, on the fo'real, can we give everyone back-loaded contracts? I mean, I understand the philosophy behind it -- but...idk..
They will not be taking one I bet until the 5th or 6th round, we do have other needs.WR is a need too. should be top 2 things addressed
Yes we can.
Because of the age of the Bears when Vollmer and Melton's contracts become big they will be replacing Peppers, Tillman and Briggs who will not be on the team 3 years from now.
Now you say but we have to replace those guys and I say now that Angelo is gone cheaper draft picks will be replacing people instead of free agents.
The Angelo era of missed draft picks really screwed up how we fans looked at economics.
WR is a need too. should be top 2 things addressed
I strongly disagree. I wouldn't mind a burner late but not top 2 by any means.
Fair enough.
Bolded part is eye-opening. well done.

Hey Guys, awesome thread!
I think one of the bigger questions heading into the draft is what to do with Carimi.... If we believe he has a chance to actually play well at RT then we really only need to lock down the LT and LG spot and one of those could be addressed through free agency.
Windy, I like your list a lot, but no love for Kevin Riddick (ILB), out of North Carolina?
they will not be drafting the TE, get over it.
they drafted one last year. they have davis, spaeth, admas, and rod
I don't think we're are going to give up on Carimi and I hope he turns out to be a solid RT. IIRC he was one of the can't miss picks in his draft. Not LT matterial but a very good RT. Hope he lives up to that at some point. If so, we've got the right side and the center starters next year. J. Scott seems to give us depth at Tackle if we keep him here. Then you're right LT and LG are our biggest needs on OL.
LG would probably be easiest to get this off season. Not that I don't want Webb replaced, but he did look better when Rachal was playing well beside him. LL and a solid LG would really improve this line more than anything I think.
