Why Big Mo appears in no hurry to leave Chicago Bears any time soon
A new positional point rating of this year’s draft crop by one veteran analyst shows rich talent supplies deep exactly where the Bears still want to see improvement for the future.
Offseason proclamations of Bears superiority and offseason titleists are definitely premature considering the other big personnel event is still a little less than a month away.
It’s only halftime. It all only figures to become even louder in the future unless GM Ryan Poles botches a clean handoff, so to speak.
The reason they almost can’t help but improve their status is four picks in the first 72 in this draft, but also because what they’ll be shopping for the hardest has the largest stockpiles of talent.
NFL.com’s draft analyst Lance Zierlein annually does an analysis of the talent supply in the draft to determine what are the best positions for talent and the worst.
Unlike assessments made by NFL.com and Pro Football Focus way in advance of the draft, which merely say where it appears there is the most talent, he weighs his analysis heavily toward players who are likely future stars or early draft picks, and then uses a point system.
Zierlein sees the most available talent sitting exactly where the Bears need help the most, even after a successful free agency.
