To my amazement we're back in a position where both lines have to be addressed. The last two seasons have been trashed because of a lack of quality OL depth and now, with Paul Soliai gone and Randy Starks pulling a disappearing act, we need to reload at OL and DT. In some ways I'm ok with Hickey's draft last year but man, that could have been a REALLY good draft. I thought that in real time in April and I think it now, not just hindsight. Btw a guy that caught my eye last year in the limited time that I saw him play was QB David Fales- something about him resonated in terms of his control of the game, movement, accuracy and solid but not spectacular arm. Kind of a post modern Bob Griese. To me he would have been an ideal #3 QB to be groomed for #2 if and when Matt Moore goes, as per salary, etc. I thought that this was interesting, I was hoping that we would grab him when the Bears waived him: "Fales was waived on September 12.[52] After he cleared waivers, he was signed to the Bears' practice squad on September 14.[53] On December 13, 2014, Fales was elevated from the Bears' practice squad to the team's 53-man roster. The move came right after the New England Patriots attempted to sign Fales." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Fales
