6. The Bears OL problem is often the line is not great or its injury prone

It's part of my frustration with them. I'd like to see them pick a lineman with their first pick.
They didn't need to trade from 20-to-11 to get a qb.
They really needed to identify blocking OL and pick them
For all the complaints people had about Cutler, everything I read showed he had the least amount of time (average) than any other NFL qb when passing.
If you look at the Bears history (noted in an earlier response), they have drafted two great quarterbacks in the last 70 years. The rest were okay-to-mediocre.
