So I've spent all my Bears energy on draft and free agency. Looking ahead it seems there's a projected cap of 140 with the Bears committed at 105 with very little room to free up additional space. However 2016 will grant a lot more cap flexibility and probably another 10M in cap space. Our draft pool shouldn't be more than 5-5.5, mainly dependent on where we fall (I'm guessing 10th pick at worst). No one too notable is a FA with the most interesting names being Paea, DLP, Tillmam, and Conte. Should be around 20M to spend in new FA, and I'll assume about 5M buffer, so 15M. I think you have two choices, which is 1. Make one big splash on the front 4 with Suh. He'll take up most of your space, and you'll have to address your DB heavily in the top three rounds of the draft. 2. Split your FA allocation and try and cover both a starting S and Nickel/CB. It's a pretty decent looking DB pool and while you may not get the top at each position, you can probably allocate about 11M with some backloading if necessary and get two legit starters to upgrade and solidify the DB. With some leftover for other small upgrades- (maybe a slot WR or second TE, or DE help). Then you're really free to go BPA in the draft, with a focus on D (personally really liking the idea of Thompson or McKinney in the first- both would give us a nice speed boost at LB) Plan two though kind of hedges on our current young defensive players and seeing what we have the rest of the way). No reason not to get Ferguson, Sutton, Washington, Jones, and Bostic (once healthy) plenty of burn the rest of the way. While none are likely to be defensive fixtures if we see enough to establish them as rotational pieces/ starters it makes the outlook a lot better. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
