One has to wonder too if a guy like Nick Kwiatkoski was a Fox pick. Fangio seems to like linebackers who can play multiple roles so he can disguise coverage schemes and pressures. Nick couldn't really do that. Nick's lack of coverage skills forced Timu, Jones and Anderson onto the field. The more I think about this pick, the more it makes sense and the more it makes me realize that a lot of the defensive players the Bears added were Fox guys who Fangio was forced to scheme around. Makes me wonder how many of Fox's defenders are still on the team and how that may become a liability. I read everything I could find about how the Bears were approaching this draft. My initial motivation was to see how the new Nagy led coaching staff would work. But I ended up seeing differences on how this draft went as opposed to last year's draft. And I ended up really looking at how Pace was operating without Fox as the HC.
As I said in another post, IMO Pace wants to operate very collaboratively with his scouts and with the coaches. Operating like a team. That came through in little bits in pressers and in some of the news articles. Contrast that to the charade of the selection of Trubisky last year. With Pace operating in secrecy, possibly keeping Fox totally in the dark until the last minute.
So I think the first of the two sentences I highlighted about Fox having defensive selections forced on Fangio could have been more than we thought. And as to how many are still on the team, my guess is that if they are not as adaptable as Fangio likes they may not be on the final roster this year. And all gone by 2019 for sure.
