Even during normal offseasons, predictions of this sort would be challenging. Given the lockout and general uncertainty about the upcoming season, it is downright ridiculous.
Nevertheless, it is the assignment I have chosen to take on.
Meanwhile, many questions abound. Such as, who will the Bears draft? Will there be a preseason, and if not, how will the coaches determine who is in playing shape and which young players deserve to be retained?
Also, the issue of free agency may be a real crap shoot. Teams may have a very small window in which to sign free agents, including their own, which presents another challenge in predicting how the rosters will look on Sept. 11.
Recognizing this, there are some assumptions to be made here.
Taking the mock draft predictions, and mixing in the players I feel they should make a concerted effort to re-sign, and combining that with a couple of potential free agent acquisitions, I present to you the opening day depth chart for the Chicago Bears.
