That's almost an impossibility shorty. The type of high motor penetrating DT Lovie want (Fairley, Liuget, Paea,etc.) will most likely be gone by the end of he first but you might find 2nd tier guys like Austin or Nevis high to mid second. Anybody past that would be hit or miss I think.

The thing that is fortunate for us is that this is a pretty deep draft for lineman on both sides of the ball.

My thought was that if we trade down we address OL and DT with the extra 2nd round pick(s). Your right I think it would be hit or miss any later than that.

This years FA and draft will take some real investigative work on the Bears part. Before the Combine a few mocks had both Liuget and Paea there when the Bears picked and all of the OT's pretty much gone. Now some of the OT's are falling and the DT's are climbing the boards.

If we can get FA out of the way before the draft it would sure help. If we can get OG and OT help there we can probably get our DT in the 1st round of the draft and then go OG/C in round 2.
