Puzzling offseason roster imbalance. So many TE's and corners, yet only 3 true RB's?

[Applefan]

About 19-20 bodies between the TE and CB spots yet only 3 true rb's in Montgomery, Cohen and Nall. Dafuq? I guess Bears will take someone late or bring in some udfa's. Could they also be hoping that after the draft they can get guys like Jay Ajai, Lamar Miller, Carlos Hyde, Frank Gore for cheap?

That won't matter come September. 6 of those TE's will be gone and several RB's will be added as well(most being cut)

When did fretting about roster "imbalance" in April become a thing?

3 true RB's? Who are the other 2 after Monty?

I've had C.Hyde on my list for a while along with D.Freeman, L.Miller, C.Thompson.

 

[Butkus34]

Nagy don't run the ball anyways

No. We need speed.

 

[meangreek]

Unless they break camp with those numbers, it means little.

They will have six CBs and three or four TEs. Given that they play two or three CBs at all times, and often will play two TEs, and only one RB, that won't be imbalanced at all.

I could see them grabbing another RB in the late rounds, but not carrying four in the season.

 

[playthrough2001]

I want them to bring in AJ Killins in the 7th or as an UDFA. Super fast and tough as hell for a smaller player... Runs north and south and catches the ball with ease...

I agree but if we don't draft a RB then what free agent do you want that has that speed? There's still a couple i like in the draft but we'll have to get lucky hitting on one this late. J.Hasty (Baylor) J.Kelley (UCLA) J.Robinson (Illinois St) A.McFarland (Maryland) I don't know how fast each one is but i like all of them.

Not sure but if no RB is selected then Pace will have to sign one veteran. Freeman is garbage at this point in his career.

It's pace's MO....We should have known he was going to go for a TE and CB with his round two picks. He usually Floods a position he deems a necessity and lets it sort out in training camp

There goes A.McFarland who i would of loved for the Bears to get.

Forgot about him. Great receiving speed

Pretty sure Philly just won a superbowl a few yrs ago, in this scheme, with no speed.

 

[Calabis]

Probably will pick up undrafted and releases
