Wow what a great deal 42 mil, , I was expecting 15+ 

Poles did a trifecta in free agency and he's not done yet.

Draft Zabel that could play every line position and our OL has arrived.

I would not mind if they brought Pryor back as a backup. He was solid too. 

He would be a good signing.

Murray showed well until he was hurt, add Pryor and we're getting closer. I seen someone suggested bringing Dan Skippy in for a backup role. Johnson had some trick plays for him last year. He may want to follow him her.

Thuney's cap hit is $16M, Jackson's is $11.8M, assuming Dalman's is $14Mish and Wright is $5.7M with Jones at $3.7M, the total OLine investment is almost $52M. It's about time.

He tried to get cute with marginal players getting better. That didn't work.  I will say a cheap LT is one reason we have money this year.

Yep. Just need to come out of the draft with some kind of “Swiss army knife” type olineman like Zabel, Mbow, Ersey, Jackson, Gray to give you some depth and future and we’re in business.

All good names. I also like the AZ OT Joseph Something? Powerball 

$20 million / year for Dan Moore (to the Titans) is crazy.

In terms of adding good depth future starter there are a lot of good options in this draft.

What about Garrett getting 51 mil per year

I thought he got $40M per?

Garrett got $40M per year, but somehow that can total $204M over 4 years.

I just saw 4/205 mil.  There must be hidden language...

Ok, so Thuney, Jackson, Dalman, Odeyingbo, and now Jarrett.

I would say BPA at 10

I would lean towards a trade down or a DE / LT at 10.  In free agency at this point - I'd be looking for a potential vet LB to replace Sanborn (unless we like someone in-house) and still need a vet wideout or two. I don't expect any more moves for a while - basically sit and see where the market is.  But what I do like is - they invested in the lines, now we just got to hope they found the right players. I also like that these deals are all largely 2 year deals, so the Bears still have a ton of flexibility in play.  

No doubt the team has made significant investments into the 3 biggest weaknesses of the club (Oline, Dline, HC/Lack of Offensive Minded HC)

The worst starter is either WR3 (Scott) or CB2 (Stevenson).

and the TE2, too

If we dont trade down, I think we are looking at OT, Edge or RB with the #10 pick. Possibly WR?

Amari Cooper on a 1Yr deal would look great.  

I'm not going to lie - I have said I'm going to wait until I see in season productivity from this franchise - but Poles and Warren and McCaskey's have killed the off-season. From hiring Ben Johnson and the staff they put in place to how they have upgraded the trenches significantly in the past week - and with a combination of youth and vet's as well.  Really really fired up about what they have accomplished - better than anything I could have put on paper and it feels like the draft matches up well for them to really take this off-season next level and truly put the franchise in a position to really accelerate forward.  

Just don't take Jeanty - I don't do RB's at 10.

I really want Nick Westbrook-Ihnine.

Tyler Lockett would also be a good slot guy on a short-term deal.  Older but he's been a model of durability in his career and has made his money on 3rd down.

They will find a 3rd WR, 

lots of choices and will be on a good prove it deal because people are going to want to be around Johnson and Caleb.. 

Do we have a perfect storm happening here??  Coaches - vets - talented young players?
