Fantasy Fields to Falcons trade?

Yeah, I feel the same way.  Let's see what we have in Brax this year.  My gut feeling is that he can be a very very solid LT.  But we need to definitively see that this season.  If he doesn't cut it here then we need to aggressively go after a LT in FA next year.  That will be expensive but they do come available from time to time if you're willing to pay top dollar for one.  I actually believe a top-tier LT is easier to find in the FA than an elite center (elite, not a JAG).  And my hope (dream) is to see the Bears anchor that interior OL with an elite center like some of the great Bears centers of the past.

LT's sometimes are allowed to walk.  Elite centers seem to get re-signed by their teams.  We're talking about elite centers and not JAGs.  Elite.  I do hope we draft a C with our 2nd round pick.  There will be 3 top-tier guys in this coming draft that will go in that 2nd round.  Let's get one.

If we decide to draft a LT this coming year, well, that means no Harrison at WR.  That would be pretty sad.  I know conventional wisdom would be LT > WR in the draft.  I get that.  But I am so coveting Harrison in this draft.  It's kind of like rationalizing a fancy car that you don't really HAVE to have, but you really really want to have  :-)       ... but if Brax can prove (truly definitively prove) he can be a solid LT then that gives the green light to Harrison.  At least that's my dream for now.

I've been resisting the temptation to get into much FA or draft talk cuz the damn offseason is so interminably long that I'm ready to vomit at the thought of reading another mock draft by the time April 1st rolls around.  I try to put it off as long as possible but this season is such a wasteland of forlorn hope, there's little else to talk about.  Its no secret this board is getting really quiet for midseason which reflects the gloominess of the overall Bears fan base.

I have really good tickets to the TNF game vs Carolina ("Battle for the Basement") I'm not gonna use and will have to fire sale at way below face value to get rid of.  No one cares out there.  SF will be empty by the late season when the weather is bad.

Since there's nothing else to look forward to, I hope:

• Brax comes back and solidifies the LT position
• Jenkins and Davis finish the year healthy
• Then, you draft QB & MHJr in round 1
• You get a C in round 2 and I wouldn't mind signing a vet C/G too cuz you need a backup
• You draft a developmental T too somewhere maybe rounds 3-5.  Borom will be gonna and you need a swing OT in the pipeline as well.
• And for crying out loud, don't cheap out in FA this year again.  We will have tons of money to spend.
• Prioritize the OFFENSE.  3 of the first 4 picks.  Most of the FA money.  Edge rusher is the only D position I would consider spending major capital on if there's someone there you like.  You can add a S late in the draft or sign one for a modest amount.  
• And for crying out loud, any HC candidate who isn't an offensive coach with a successful history and experience in developing a young QB NEED NOT APPLY.  We all know who they are--GET ONE OF THEM and give the new staff 3 years to do their stuff.  

I like that though.  I like it a lot.  I would be mighty happy if that is the way we go from here.  Obviously there are countless moving parts to all of this.  But as a high-level wish list that is my wish too.
