If you subscribe to the notion that first impressions matter, then the initial practice at camp from the rookie offensive linemen of the Chicago Bears was a good day. If I read between the lines, I’d say it laid the foundation for their offseason plans.
Chicago drafted four offensive linemen and they signed another as an undrafted free agent, and it was those five that lined up with the first-team today at rookie minicamp, but it was where they lined up that caught my eye.
I wrote about where Chicago’s first year o-linemen fit on the current depth chart yesterday, and the fact that they lined fifth rounder Braxton Jones up at left tackle and sixth rounder Zachary Thomas up at right guard tells me something.
