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.

      I'm more curious if he can recover from his injury and still be a starting caliber olineman

      Does this mean only topics from within the last year or any topics with posts from the last year? i.e. if there are any old threads we feel should be kept around for whatever reasons, would a bump of that thread before the update ensure it's kept around in full or do the posts from more than a year old still disappear?

      I'm more intrigued at him becoming our future LG. There were some people who thought he was better suited to be a guard in the NFL to begin with.  Then if Freeling ends up being a legit LT, moving Ickey to LG could give us an incredibly strong left side of our OL for years to come. Ickey has only played on the Left side his whole career, both in college and the NFL, so I just wonder if keeping him on the left side, even if shifting inside, would be better than putting him outside on the right side. Just hoping him growing up a Panthers fan will make him want to stay here and move positions than enter FA so he can stay at LT somewhere else, particularly since LT is the big money position on the OL, so he likely can get paid more by someone else to play LT than play LG or RT here for us.
