no chance in hell that Whitehair moves back to guard next year when Grasu is back. Grasu will just be a quality backup to hold on to. Whitehair is a center from here on out.

Why? Grasu has proven nothing. More likely he is a back up center/guard that if pressed into service allows the Bears to put the two of them in the best combination of positions to succeed.

I had Whitehair and Grasu as 1 and 1a on my list.

Good news is that guards are a dime a dozen compared to OT. Would like to see and RT 2nd round next year. I don't think CB is as big of a need, but that depends on how Hall, Callahan and Glenn develop. And if Fuller is even here. I'd go QB, OT, DT/DE, OLB. The kowski could develop into a good backup, maybe a starter in a few years. Houston and the Phee might not be here next year. That leaves you with Young, Floyd, Acho and Jones. Not good.

YES! @WhItehair76 keeps moving up the ranks. Is now the NFL's fourth-best center. #BearDown
Freeman 3rd best LB
Cody is a whole lot cheaper than Alex Mack.
Only the Bears pro bowl candidates would be the center their two guards and their RB during the golden age of the NFL passing game.

Bears biggest needs are QB, OT, Pass Rush, and TE.
God does this defense need Floyd and Bullard to develop.
And Cody whitehair is a stud. Sucks he's behind JC Tretter.

Freeman has been a revelation.

Better than Trevathan for the entire year to date. Freeman's been massively underrated throughout his career. Best player on the Bears D this season.

They really need both a RT and a LT. Leno is average, but would be better off as the swing tackle.

Where do Floyd and White rank in their respective positions?
This is the problem. Not sure what's not to understand.

To play devil's advocate - Since it seems the issue is the first round, couldn't that more point the finger at John Fax having too much say in the draft room, vs Pace not being a good GM?
Think about it - NFL coaches likely have enough time to scout and form opinions of top prospects, but they aren't scouts - the deeper you go in the draft, the more they have to rely on the actual scouting department of the GM, and the less influence they have over the draft as it goes on, because they just don't know (or maybe even don't care as much).
So, given the rumors of Phillips, the McCaskeys and Fox being all cozy, but also given the later round picks and Free agents seem to be performing, might that point to Fox having way too much power at Halas Hall?

I like to give rookies time to develop and White is a rookie.

It's no secret that we are a bottom level team at this point. We have to start somewhere. Sure would be nice if those were our first round picks, but I'll take a top ranked center any day of the week. I'm not going to bitch about that. Pace needs to hit on more important positions moving forward though - QB, OT, OLB/DE
