One of the first things I wrote for DBB came at a time when we didn’t know if Jay Cutler was going to be the quarterback. It was clear the Bears had failed to provide the quarterback with necessary weapons and I argued Pace needed to do better.
Through two drafts, he has.
In three years with the Bears, Phil Emery drafted seven offensive players, four of which were in the first four rounds. From the year before he made the trade to acquire Cutler until he was fired, Jerry Angelo drafted 12 offensive players, five of which were picked in the first four rounds, three of which were in 2008.
