I see these guys as pretty much locks (6):
LT - Leno
LG - Sitton
C - Whitehair
RG - Long - Kush
RT - Massie
These are the guys who will battle it out:
T - Compton - Joseph - Kirsch
C - Grasu
G - Morgan - Edison
I still we could see another veteran added to the mix as well. I'd probably go with Compton, Morgan, and Kirsch out of this list.

Kush? He's a guard.

I wouldn't rule Grasu out either. He's a high-character individual by media accounts, that comes from a family that had to battle for their freedom and life. Read the story if you haven't already. Personally, I wouldn't be surprised to see him as this teams center allowing CW to shore up another position. Good thread.

I think morgan was drafted because Grasu isn't cutting it.
I don't believe Grasu makes it through camp.

Grasu is a center only. Morgan is a guard/tackle. Totally unrelated.

He was going to be the starter last year until he got an ACL, obviously the team thought he was an NFL player but I guess you know more than they do :facepalm:

Morgan was a future move, most likely at Guard definitely not Center. I would say a good chance Sitton will be replaced in 2018.

Yeah, my mistake. I was thinking Morgan as interior only, yet I have already held out hope he can play tackle in the NFL. Oops.

Whose down to give Charles a new contract, say midway through the season if he's playing well? What kind of money will he demand?

We are going to shift 2 players out of positions they are dominant at in Whitehair and Long to make space for Grasu?
Really.

But then he had his job stolen.
There just isn't a spot for him. I am not shifting my 2 best lineman to make room for an injured former 3rd round pick who has never done anything on the field.

He also is not a tackle.
He was mediocre a best there in 2015 and they moved him a do immediately. He has also stated many times that he is a OG.

We don't know how good Grasu could be and we also don't know if Whitehair can perform as well at other positions on the OL as he has at Center. These are two questions I think the Bears staff might want to discover before dumping Grasu.

But we know Kyle Long is better at OG and we know Whitehair is a stud at C.
Grasu will get camp to prove something, my hope is he can play OG a little.
But he is not taking Whitehairs job under any curcumstance.
They also re-signed Kush to a 2 year deal with 500k guaranteed, not the vet minimum.

I feel bad for Grasu but he's playing the one spot we actually have very good starters, solid depth and a rookie we just drafted. So he likely misses out.
That 2015 draft will look brutal if this happens and White disappoints.

The problem with Grasu is that he can't play guard, so it's kind of worthless to use a roster spot on a backup center. And there's no way we're going to shoehorn him into the starting lineup when the interior is already playing so well. Bad pick, learn your lesson and move on.

We have C/G Boggs and LT/RT Sowell also
LT - Leno, Sowell
LG - Sitton, Morgan
C - Whitehair, Kush
RG - Long
RT - Massie
Cut or practice squad: Boggs, Compton, Grasu
I'd say Boggs is better than Morgan right now but I'm not sure Pace will risk losing his draft pick if he goes to the practice squad. Whitehair is permanent center and Kush can backup both Center and Guard so he has more value than Grasu. I think Grasu ends up on practice squad though as he would be a good 3rd in line if Whitehair or Kush get hurt.
