But age was clearly a factor in Pace's mediocre play. The only way that Long would be similar to Pace is that it'd be a big name high priced free agent signing. And yes, there's a risk there, but frankly, the Bears are at a place with the O-line where you kinda have to take some FA risks. Good left tackles just don't become free agents often. Now all that said, because FA LT's are a rarity, I'd rather draft an LT, and spend our O-line FA dollars on other spots on the line. I think you let Webb/Carimi battle it out for the RT spot. See if maybe you can upgrade LG and maybe C through free agency.
