The weakest position area of importance is corner.

Unless Tolliver is ready Fullers the only one of starter quality and they’re screwed if he gets hurt.

The say it’s a WR. OT heavy draft.  Definitely need a tackle addition. 

Other position choices make them better but have to stop the bleeding first.

Thats a great video breakdown of the rule of 3 and Quinn.  I sure hope he is right.

I think that the Bears are confident that between Tolliver, Roberson and Burns that they are going to turn up a competent #2.  With the pass rush they should have, these guys shouldn't have to cover long.  I think SS is a more pressing need than #2 cb.

I sure hope they’re not, big mistake.

Tolliver played OK for a couple of games but was getting burned deep.  A lot depends on any improvement in camp.
The guy from Canada is an unknown.  Few Canadian league players have seen success. Burns has failed.
I really think they need to add a better option.

I've stated this on several occassions - from a depth chart point of view we look decent at CB.  We have 3 guys with various backgrounds and concerns that will compete.  Safety doesn't quite have the same depth and would appear to be more of a need early in the draft.

But if you have a hole at corner no rule of 3 pass rush will save you.  Amukamora gave us steady play but not so much in 2019.  He was abused repeatedly for big plays down the field.   I think we need more competition at safety but I think corner is a more critical position.

The details of Foles' contract restructuring are beyond great!

We couldn't expect much better than that...

Some fantastic news:

Brad Childress has been circling retirement for some time and the former Vikings head coach says that he’s finally reached the point where he’s ready to walk away from football for good.

Childress first said he was retiring in 2018 when he gave up his job as an assistant to Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, but that was a brief absence from the game as he became an advisor to Bears head coach Matt Nagy a short time later. He took a job as a head coach in the Alliance of American Football, but left before the league’s ill-fated inaugural season to return to Chicago.

Childress said in January that he wouldn’t return to the Bears, but didn’t close the door on a similar advisory role for Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski, who broke into the NFL when Childress was the Vikings coach. Childress now says that door is closed.

“People say, ‘Is he really retired? Is he really, really retired?'” Childress said, via Chris Tomasson of the Pioneer Press. “Yeah. Last year was my last year. I just felt like it was time to move on. It’s about time. I put my toe in the water in retirement and pretty soon you’ve got to jump in. It’s more about spending time with my family and grandkids and that type of thing.”

Childress was 39-35 as the Vikings head coach and has coached in the NFL in one form or another since 199.

Bears sign OT Jason Spriggs and cut Burton.

A comment on Spriggs via NBC Sports Chicago:

Where would they use Spriggs ? He can’t play either Tackle spot,… we saw that. It’s why he isn’t in GB anymore. Maybe at Rt Guard ?

From a Packer fan, obviously. If Spriggs has anything left I think Castillo will get it out of him. This is a coverup for the draft.
