So I disagree that Fields has no excuses, but that certainly takes one off the list. And his contract isn't too big going forward (cap hits of $20 mil and 2 times $16 mil the following years).

I like that Poles likes to trade down, not up all of the time, quite different from the previous Ryan P.

And they could be in the market for a QB next year and now they have extra 1st round picks, if needed, to get one.

I think they are going to sign McGlinchey *

McGlinchey and one more lineman

Ant that still won't preclude drafting an offensive lineman with the #9 pick... or even trading down a few slots from #9, getting an additional pick, and taking an offensive lineman with a pick in the teens.

The OL will be serviceable. No excuses. The Bears have to

Spend and OL and DL will be upgraded. It will be decided one way or another on fields next year. They'll have the draft capital next year to select a Qb if needed.
