This is IF they only sign a LT in FA and nothing else, and let Urlacher walk.

 

Bears trade their 1st round pick to the Bengals for picks 37, 84, and 148, and a 4th next year.

 

2. DJ Fluker, T, Alabama

--Got their LT, now they have their RT.

2. Gerald Hodges, LB, Penn State

--Steady player for PSU who's a tackling machine.

3. Travis Kelce, TE, Cincinnati

--Bigger TE threat to compliment Rodriguez; can block and catch.

4. Alvin Bailey, G, Arkansas

--A solid G who would be a 2nd rounder in 2014 had he stayed.

5. Joe Kruger, DT/DE, Utah

--Brother of Baltimore's Paul, he's got great size but still is raw.

5. Jasper Collins, WR, Mount Union

--Speedy WR who's had a great E-W Shrine week from a school that has produced good WR's in the past.

6. Josh Evans, S, Florida

--In 3 days at the E-W Shrine week, the Bears have interviewed him twice.

7. Matt Scott, QB, Arizona

--Raw QB prospect to develop; reminds me of a skinnier Kaepernick.

Matt Scott is an interesting prospect. After watching him all year I'd say he has good talent overall but his arm strength is average and his ability to read defenses and anticipate is below average. He is very mobile but not elite in this category either. He only played one season due to injuries and due to sitting behind a guy named Nick Foles who ended up starting in Philly this year.

 

Knowing he's only had one full year of playing time he could develop into a decent backup, his ceiling is probably an average starter.
