Reading through the wides and sites of the world wide web, it sounds that many want Paces head and don't trust him. Sure, some will come down a bit after the initial Frustration with how yesterday went, but still it's not easy to be Pace right now.
What about you or this board?
To give you my perspectiv. I think it's good to not overpay bigtime for guys that aren't 100% worth it. It fills Needs and gives you more flexibility. Bears have Cap Space and Needs, yet haven't spend it on guys that are Young enough and worth the risk. I think Pace missed out on signing secondary DEPTH to make sure we have at least 2-3 #2s on the roster.
Gilmore signed a big contract on a winning Team, can't beat that. Bouye got a good offer from us, longterm and Money and he got even more guarantees from others. Those are 2 guys I don't blame him for. He tried. Changing the QBs for essentially the same Cap Hit is a good move knowing that Cutler was done and Glennon at least has some upside. Still a lateral move that neither good or bad.
AJ wanted to move on.
What I don't like is not offering enough for Swearinger.
I wonder if he wants to go after Poe, Hightower or Minter.
Point in line: Pace did the Job he said he would do. Build a roster, not only looking at next year. He is looking for the longterm and signed 2 Bridge guys. One with hope and the other is a playmaker with 6 INTs last Season. He wants to build through the draft and in order to do this he has to believe in the guys he drafts and get them playing time.
It may turn out bad, but it's still a Chance to end up being good. White and Meredith as your WRs is Young and inexperienced, but think about them with more experience and health. Could be worth it. Could end up being the worst WR Combo to have too. Time will tell.
Trade down in the Draft, get more picks and take your secondary and another WR and QB along with adding to the lines.
