March 2, 201610 yr comment_155312 Arguably the best center in the league and I'd also argue, it is a position of need (depending on how sold you are on Grassu). I also wonder if Grassu could profile at guard at all? http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/14884993...opting-contract Report

I also wonder if Grassu could profile at guard at all? http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/14884993...opting-contract The knock on Grassu is that he lacks strength and that he's not much of a mauler. I can't see him being a good fit at guard in this scheme. The team seems to be invested in him and it's his job to lose. Granted, I easily see us bringing in a guy like Will Montgomery to compete with him and push him for a starting spot. While we need to address the RG position early in free agency, there are better options than Mack. Report

This year will end up being ok, but after a couple of years he should be up to speed. He is not physical enough to play guard. They have to many holes to fill, to pay a center big money when they drafted the future starter last year. Report
March 3, 201610 yr comment_155334 I think Grasu has serious potential in the NFL. He was a little soft last year when he started, but he's got all the tools to start for a long time. I'd say the Bears have more pressing areas they need to spend the money. They shouldn't pursue Alex Mack unless he loves Chicago and would be willing to give a hometown discount. Report
March 3, 201610 yr Author comment_155339 I agree with the posts. I wouldn't pay Mack 8M a year. I'm not sold on Grassu as a lot depends on whether he truly can add the strength. I hate assuming that he'll just add the strength. I do think if he does, he can turn into a pretty good center and I agree he wasn't at all prepared this past year (which is odd for a 3rd round pick). Report
