They should have put some money into a FS. FS deseperately needs some help now that Mike Brown is gone, and Steltz I dont think is ready for it. While I understand them not overspending on a WR.

So far nothing has surprised me. The draft is going to be interesting. I feel we have a lot of needs on both sides of the ball. A veteran RB to back up Forte is a must too. Time will tell.

To your other point, I also heard one of the local morning geniuses that has seemingly turned into an Angelo lover (honoring your naming request, I will not mention his name) nonchalantly mention that Omiyale will be a good fit “if Williams fails” – like it would be expected and no big deal if that happens. What?? Look, if the Bears are already thinking along the lines that a supposed blue chipper like Williams isn’t going to be able to cut it, then add that to the Appendix section of Angelo’s long list of past drafting failures. Re: other non-moves, if in fact the Bears have not even had basic, general discussions with Denver about Cutler (whether or not a trade will ever happen is not the point), then this is even further proof Angelo is clueless and is not doing his job. And I laughed when I read another local writer mention Jeff Garcia’s name as a potentially viable and smart option, which makes no sense. Also, while I’m sure the Bears have already crafted a well written response to why they weren’t interested in Cassell (besides the money part, of course), there is no valid reason or excuse for not exploring Cassell, Cutler or other QB options I’ve mentioned here in recent weeks.
