If nothing else, JA and the gang have demonstrated a reliance upon the draft to build the team and are not always the first to scour the free agent market to find talent. Given recent history this almost goes without saying for our organization these days, and sticking with the current front office likely means a continuation of the building-through-the-draft mentality.

Which brings me to a small problem we are all reminded of come april. Trading for Cutler killed this year's high draft picks, and with the aquisition of Gaines Adams, who may be a steal from the Bucs perspective, we'll begin next year with round three yet again. Obviously, there are still many talented players to be found at that stage of the draft, but in terms of Offensive Lineman, we'll likely be out of luck. JA will characteristically address the position through the draft, and may land a solid player or two for the line, but offensive line talent decreases dramatically after the second round. 

Since the 1999 draft, no offensive lineman taken third round or later has made the pro bowl. Two undrafted players have,  Kris Dielman in 2003 and Brian Waters in 2001, but banking on hitting a home run post-draft is hopefully not the strategy for next year. As far as I'm concerned, we'll likely continue to be "content" with the players we have and do little in free agency after the season, and retain this current group of stars. Unless, of course, we hit next year's free agency as hard as the bulls think they might want to. (They're still a little unsure about moves that involve spending money)

As such, Jay Cutler can look forward to another 27 games of poor protection.

I'm in college, and when I bought my laptop I declined the accident protection plan. This has worked out fine so far, but if I knew for sure that I'd be knocking it to the ground on a weekly basis, I think its reasonable to assume that I would have paid a little extra to keep the investment safe. And not just a cheap loophole protection plan, which looked interesting but was outdated, or one that never really protected a laptop in Carolina, but a plan that would get the job done regardless of cost.

For that matter, if the accident protection plan wasn't available and I knew I'd be tossing my laptop to the sharks, I don't think I would have bought it in the first place. Can't use something thats broken.
