A Big Reason Behind Defense Issues

Charles Johnson and Greg Hardy are pretty good for third and sixth round picks.

I get what you mean. Missing Beason, Davis and Gamble all at once hurts, but I don't think the round a player was drafted in is always the best indicator of how good they are.

Most of the holes are things we all knew ahead of time, yet were not properly addressed in the offseason. DT and CB in particular were both obvious holes and discussed to death. How we went from using the 2nd lowest amount of capspace to the 3rd highest and barely touched these positions is beyond me.

it's the panther fan mentality

every starter needs to be like a top 15 draft pick

The Bears offense that ran over us...

RB Matt Forte - 2nd round pick

C Roberto Garza - 4th round pick

G Lance Louis - 7th round pick

T J'Marcus Webb - 7th round pick

T Frank Omiyale - 5th round pick

WR Johnny Knox - 5th round pick

FB Tyler Clutts - undrafted

The Bears do have a few first rounders on offense, but the only one that's actually one of their own selections is G Chris Spencer, and he missed a good portion of the game with an injury. The others are Roy Williams - on his third team and considered by many to be a bust - and Jay Cutler, who was traded from the Broncos and has generally underachieved since.

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Supplemental draft uses picks from next year. So a team were to draft him in the 1st, their upcoming 1st next draft would no longer be available. There have been some notable players that were obtained in the supplemental draft, such as Kosar. It doesn't necessarily happen every year either, and is more on a as needed basis. The gambling trouble is a big red flag for teams, and maybe pushes him down to a 4th? Not sure a team would use a 1st on him.
