Should they give Connor Barth the boot and upgrade for this coming season? If so, should we spend a draft pick on a kicker or try to get a veteran FA?
I thought the Bears were going to extend him, and you never waste a draft pick on a kicker
Yeah, I was surprised that when I looked back over several years, at the kickers who were All-Pro's each year, that they were almost all undrafted guys, and also, most of them were older players too. It seems like kickers can get better with age, rather than have their game diminish as they pass into their 30's.
The Bears should be trying to upgrade EVERY position at all times, every year.
Not every position. Drafting a RB or C this year would be a wasted picks.
That's very true but my point was that the Bears should always be looking to get better at every position. Some positions have a much higher priority than others.
