I have watched a lot of Aboushi's tape and I think he definitely has the feet to play LT. It is more about his run blocking and strength. Would be a great round 2 pick if available. I am loving Ogletree as the first round pick right now. Great value and position of need with great speed and play making ability.

I can see Aboushi being the Bears 1st round pick

You don't want to get mixed in with people of CSSTL's kind.

See?

I also think Kenjon Barner would add a great element to this offense. But he is most likely a late 2nd/3rd round pick. Speed out of the backfield is something the Bears haven't had in a while.

Welcome aboard! I hope your experience on here is well received.

Because of our cap space, it will be a challenge to get a franchise LT, but I am also hoping that we can.

How would our cap space look if the Bears decided to release Urlacher?

As a Oregon fan, I'd love to see Barner come over, but I'm not really sure where he'd fit...

We already have Forte, and Allen is a very affordable Forte backup with the exact same skillset. I'd expect Barner to replace Allen depth wise, but the upgrade isn't big enough to waste a draft on.

Then Bush, who even if we get rid of, still has tons of value as our only "power" back.

He could certainly have value as a WR, however (and tbh, given his bodytype, may be better there in the NFL)... and I personally like the idea of running back/receiver hybrids who can play both positions since it gives the offense more options/looks/schemes/depth at multiple positions, even if you don't really see it all that much.

EDIT: I'd also add... I think the Bears have bigger 2nd round concerns to go for, and we don't have a third round pick... Even if we did want him, I don't think it would work out unless we trade down.

Exactly the same...he's a FA.

[4cubs]

Exactly the same...he's a FA.

So the cap space is too low to sign a premier LT even without re-signing Urlacher?

[BcEuAbRsS]

What kind of deal do we think Flacco gets? Gotta think that Cutty is gonna be wanting something similar...

[WOwolfOL]

Cutler doesn't deserve a raise from his current contract

[BcEuAbRsS]

I agree, but what he deserves and asks for may be two different things.
