Wait, I've been told the OL isn't the problem despite how they gave up the 45% pressure--along with how they're a bottom 1/4 unit in the league per PFN, but they just need only a C, and most importantly--WRs who can get open! Oh, and a QB who doesn't hold the ball for so long! That will fix a generational issue that hasn't been fixed since the last time they won a Superbowl.
Snark aside, I want a LT, but even I'm not naive enough to believe the bears will take one this draft. They're content with Braxton Leno, which is heinous but unfortunately for the few of us capable of comprehending what it takes to have a successful offense, the vast majority of this fanbase needs a revelation about the OL the way Cubs fans did with a real farm system when they hired Theo Epstein. Instead of making excuses for bums, have someone who knows what they're doing build a modern powerhouse unit that is tailored to a modern offense. They also just took an OT in the 1st round a year ago, so I'm sure someone has/will argue its "a luxury" for a team with a bottom-feeding OL to use a premier pick on it 2 years in a row.
I especially like Alt. Best 2-way OT in college, and I hate Notre Dame. Braxton is a swing tackle at best, and still struggles mightily--but that's not to say he's been 100% bad. THat's not to say he has never had success--he has (albeit against whoever was Brian Burns' back up earlier in the year he graded so highly for PFF--but those of us with 2 functioning brain cells wonder if people still would be saying the same had Brian Burns played) and sadly, that will be good enough.
It hasn't since 85, but maybe the 'get rich quick' scheme will work this time.
