The Draft--Live thread

The Bears have still not drafted an offensive lineman..

Is Jerry Angelo officially the worst GM in football?

You don't draft for need this late in the draft. These are guys who will just be fighting for a roster spot. After the Corey Wootton pick, the hope of finding an immediate contributor at OL for the Bears was pretty much gone.

I could understand this logic if Angelo hadn't avoided drafting OL his entire tenure in Chicago. It's a fact this guy doesn't draft offensive lineman. He's completely inept, obviously. In a league where there is a huge premium on OL he's the only one who avoids drafting them. Look at his track record.

Plenty of good OL are drafted post round 4. Carl Nicks just a few years ago Angelo passed on plenty of times. I could name about 20 more.

The bears took an o-lineman with the last first round pick they possessed.
