And I don't think he's ever really approached being any of the top 10 edges in the league since he got that deal.
So it's...
It's just kind of one move after another that like at the time you understand it, but none of them have really hit and given them like an anchor edge rusher or even just pass rusher, whether it's interior or edge to build around.
And so now I look at the draft where, OK, they made a move to shore up linebacker, bring in a Devin Bush.
You know, they shored up safety corner.
We still have some questions about what Tyreek is going to be long term, but like you can get by with the corners they have.
They just need to go all in again on defensive line and just keep taking swings until somebody hits.
Luckily for them, this is a good edge rusher class to do it in.
I would probably take two of them with their first three picks.
Wow.
So two of three there.
We're trying to figure out.
If they're going to use those picks, the first rounder and the two second rounders to do that and or fix, I don't know, offensive line.
There's just so many different directions they go.
Let me ask you this.
As we get into the second wave of free agency, is there an area where you feel like the Bears can improve through that avenue before we get to the draft?
There's not really a whole lot else out there at the moment.
This was a very thin free agent class.
You know, general managers have gotten wise over the last four to five years that if you sign guys early, you get a discount because the cap is jumping eight to nine percent per year, which is translating to a 20 to 25 million dollar jump in the cap every single year at this point.
So if you get guys done early, you know, it is.
