I am sure we will be somewhere between 1st and 4th. Anything else would be a wild guess.

Anyway, when really looking the rosters objectively... what do these other teams have what is so great that we don't? The pass rush and run-stopping ability of this defense is all based on wild guesses. No one knows how we're going to do, although we do have alot of 'ifs' along the D-line and the LBs.
The draft hasn't even been and while looking at the Vikings schedule on another side, I really can't say that they go much higher than 9-7, seeing that they still don't have a very good QB, their coach is an idiot and they have only one good receiver... who can only stretch the field, really.
Their defense is ok, but it's mostly about the D-line if you ask me and both of their big guys in the middle are getting up there in age. I'm still wondering wether Udeze will be back next year. The kid really deserves to.
Anyway, it's way to soon to make all these kinds of pessimistic posts. Especially since the only things that have changed are the Bears getting a tackle, who is about equal to his predeseccor while the other side is still wide open, and a QB, who, although is really good, does throw quite alot of ints when you look at his TDs aswell. I know that doesn't say alot, we used to have someone like that aswell, but it usually doesn't bode well.
Also, the Bears won't have a first round draft pick this year. Same goes for a third round pick. They might get a decent starter in round 2, but that'd still leave them with a relatively late round selection for a starter (thinking RT here).
