Ok, so everyone has their opinions on whether we are a better team than we were 2 months ago but however you feel this seems to me to be the best course of action for the next 2 years, at least in my opinion:
One thing we can't argue is that we have 2 first rounders this year and 2 first rounders next year. If neither the bears or us change draft position that much we should be looking at 2 picks anywhere from 10-25. In extreme cases we could have either the first overall pick or we could have the last or any other combination in between. For the sake of my arguement I am going to assume we have the 15th overall and 20th overall next season.
This season I could see us going ahead with Orton or Simms depending on how camps and all that go, I guess we could assume Orton the favorite considering his recent history. He might not be a bad replacement but he could end up being a complete mess. Considering our o-line and receiving corps I say he does a decent job filling in, but nothing jaw dropping. Also, whether we draft Sanchez or whoever it may be safe to say Orton is the starter anyway.
For my plan, I say we draft like we would if Cutler was the starter, with D-Line, Linebackers, Secondary and Running Back being the major areas of concern. We could very well set our defense on a very good path with 2 pretty solid draft positions, whether we trade them down for others or not. We should go defense early and often, adding depth and play making ability at any position we can.
Now next season, we have picks 15 and 20. This is where I hope we go:
If Orton fails to succeed in our offense and just can't get going like cutler did, 2 first rounders has really good trade potential. We could trade our 2 firsts to move up to the top ten next season, and get a really good quarterback with it and, bing bang boom we are back to square one. If Orton succeeds in the offense we draft defense again and hope we can move up to championship status.
I think if we draft like we would have with cutler still in hold of the offense and then gauge Orton next season we could very well be a pretty solid team by 2011.
