Pace is dammed if he does and damned if he doesn't.
Seasons end:
Got to replace Leno and Maddie
Massive not resigned.
Ifedi ( whom I was told represented the investment of a first round pick in the OL) re-signs to play RT.
Response: fàns rejoice
FA:
Pace signs a vet OL (Wilkerson) who has experience as a starter.
Response: Good job creating depth
Pre-Draft:
Bears are too old, [insert number here]st team in the =league. Got to get younger across the board. Pace needs to find multiple starters.
Draft:
Pace drafts two OT, including one with a first round grade. Also, new QB (way to bury the led there brasil...)
Response: Amazing!!
Post-Draft:
Pace cuts Leno.
Response: WTF!!! No team ever starts a rookie at LT!! The OL is too young!
Play the rookies. Play them from day 1. See what they have and if they can do it.
Borom-RT
Ifedi-RG
Daniel-C
Whitehair-LG
Jenkins-LT
Ifedi--boy oh boy you love to harp on this--WAS A 1st RD PICK by Seattle originally as an OT. He struggled there (admittedly, Russell Wilson is a tough QB to pass protect for) and was moved to RG. Now apparently he's moving back to RT. I'd be very surprised if Borom beats him out as Ifedi did look pretty solid late last season at RT. Let's hope that wasn't a fluke last few games of last season.
Daniels was tried at C and he sucked at it. He was much better as a G. Whitehair is too. Based on what we know now, the starting 5 should be:
Jenkins - Whitehair - Mustipher - Daniels - Ifedi
I thought Mustipher was solid at C. I like that starting lineup of: Jenkins - Whitehair - Mustipher - Daniels - Ifedi
