Alright for starters they get credit for having the guts to make that bold move for Cutler. Orton is decent but nothing more and McDaniels will learn that inDenver. Now you got your franchise QB, who's he throwing to??
Iglesias was a solid pick but I see him as a good slot receiver at best. Earl Bennett is still a year away from what I hear, don't think Broussard orBurgess are dark horses ready to surprise the world
. Davis is a goodreturn man but don't expect a lot of production from the actual WR position. What do we expect from Hester? He's explosive and improving as a receiverbut can he be a consistent #2 option is something many question. Helps that Forte catches a lot of balls out of the backfield but checkdown options aren'tgoing to get you to the NFC Championship Game, simple as that.
Time to pony up again and trade first day picks to acquire Brandon Marshall. He's unhappy in Denver and they're supposedly working a deal for whoeverwill put up for the guy so there's mutual interest in another trade. I know he just got hurt too (hip and leg) but I don't recall it being thatserious...correct me if I'm wrong. Bottom line, Marshall is a game changer and will add a major dynamic to the Bears offense. Can't really load the boxon Forte when you have B. Marsh to stretch the field and Cutler's arm to respect. The trade would allow Bennett/Hester to settle into the #2 receiver spotand leave Iglesias in the slot. That sounds like a pretty good WR corps to me. Not to mention Olsen/Clark being in the mix at TE.
Defensive is a given in Chicago and their pass rush should be improved. The additions of Gilbert and Moore should help as well. The only concern I have is thatUrlacher is done performing at an All-Pro level.
