Biggs: Bears trade a 6th for C/G Dan Feeney

OMG I LMAO'd at that one.

Shudders down my spine thinking of that cringeworthy presser.  Truly a low moment in a franchise that has had a lot of them lately.  DUMB, DUMB move by George and Teddy to keep those clowns another year.

I know there's injuries on the OL. I also know the depth is weak. Maybe this addition was needed.

I suspect there will be a lot of shuffling of players throughout these few days when everyone gets out on the waiver wire.

Continue drafting OL and signing UDFA until there's a nice stockpile of talent.

Continue rebuilding...

why? they haven't tried to gone all in on this O since Nagy's 2nd year. DJ Moore and nothing, an OT and nothing. This O needed a ton of help and got whatever the def could spare. Ya the def needed help also, but the def being bad doesn't prevent the team from knowing what they have in their QB before they have to sign him. Def could suck for the next 3 years and it won't  change their ability to win/compete. The QB and the O are what matters right now; and Pace/Poles have largely ignored it since Fields was drafted.

Then maybe he's a late bloomer and will play like this in real games if needed.  I looked over his blocking grades for his career, year by year and game by game more recently (when he did play).  Not good.  Not horrific, except in a few games.  My point is that I guess I was foolish thinking we already had backups this good on the IOL.  We had a small army of OL in our 90-man roster this preseason.  I was actually thinking we had some good backup depth this year.  The move was a bit stunning to me to be honest.

EDIT:  I did just look at his preseason grades and you're right, he had a solid one.  Especially pass protecting.
