CSTShareTweetShareShareFor 10th straight year, Bears awarded no compensatory draft picksKamil Krzaczynski-USA TODAY SportsThe NFL released it’s list of compensatory picks that it awards to respective teams around the league on Friday afternoon. Unsurprisingly the Bears were given none. It’s the 10th straight the Bears will enter the NFL Draft without any compensatory selections: A formula determined by the number and quality of free agents an organization loses in a given off-season. Given that the Bears had an aggressive 2018 acquisition period that saw them sign Allen Robinson, Trey Burton, Taylor Gabriel, and Cody Parkey among others, this was a foregone conclusion long ago. They gained most than they lost last year in team assetswhich sealed this headline in stone. The Bears could stand to improve in this regard. Since 1994, Chicago has been given just 17 compensatory draft picks: a paltry 27th in the NFL. Compensatory picks are typically an indication of an organization with a strong culture, tough-minded developmental philosophy, and one that drafts well. When you draft well, you can not only afford to let veterans walk, but you actually have quality veterans to let go in the first place. The Bears Womens Kerrith Whyte Jersey , for most of the past quarter century, have obviously and regularly not done so well in the draft. They’ve routinely left themselves limited moving parts to work with once this stage of the draft process begins. Uh, thanks Dave Wannsteddt, Mark Hatley, Jerry Angelo, Phil Emery, and to an extent ... Ryan Pace.By contrast, teams like the Patriots (given four compensatory picks this year) are routinely turning this easy draft asset route into a nice talent and trade bait pipeline. At this point, New England is more of an exceptional unicorn in team building and roster construction given how successful they are in comparison to everyone else. The Patriots are a preeminent example of a franchise that almost always receives extra draft capital (two third-rounders this year!) to play around with. There’s something to be said about not only developing quality contributors, but knowing when to cut bait on their future on your roster. A Bill Belichick trademark if there ever was one. Attempting to follow his and their example along these lines is never a bad idea. Fortunately for the Bears’ sake, it does look like they’re beginning to draft better and sign more impactful free agents under general manager Ryan Pace. That’s both in terms of impactful younger players at the top to build their core around such as Roquan Smith and James Daniels, and veterans that could be on the way out such as Adrian Amos and Bryce Callahan. This paints the picture of an organization that should soon see a woeful drought end with likely at least one of Amos or Callahan (if one of them doesn’t return) netting Chicago a compensatory pick next off-season. It’s a slow grind to building a consistent winner. After building a short-term Super Bowl contender Kerrith Whyte Jersey 2019 , Pace’s next challenge is to help keep this ride going. One of the simple ways he’ll be able to do it is by eventually swinging the compensatory pick process back in the Bears’ favor.

That’s how often the No. 2 overall draft choice put it up in Sunday’s 17-3 win over Carolina. Chicago is taking measures to make certain this doesn’t become a regular practice: On Wednesday, the Bears dealt a seventh-round draft pick to the Los Angeles Chargers for wide receiver Dontrelle Inman, a move coaches said is still pending a physical. ”I’m not really sure how this whole process works, a guy coming in in the middle of the season, but I’m looking forward to it,” Trubisky said. ”I’ve heard he’s a good player and I’ll just help him any way we can. He’s part of this team and family now. ”We’re invested in all of our guys and we’re going to get him as ready as we can, as well as the other guys.” The Bears (3-4) look for their third straight win Sunday at New Orleans (4-2). Until Inman learns their offense they’ll go with wide receivers who were targeted once by Trubisky in the win over Carolina. Part of the reason the offense has thrown only 48 times since Trubisky became starter three games ago is the lack of proven targets. ”Maybe another veteran presence in the room and a guy that’s played in the NFL, played with a good quarterback White Kerrith Whyte Jersey , that’s going to help everyone,” offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains said. ”That’s going to help that (receiver) group.” Inman provides the Bears with something they haven’t had since Kevin White went on injured reserve after Week 1 with a broken shoulder blade – a taller receiver versatile enough to get downfield or make short catches over the middle. Inman is 6-foot-3, 205 pounds, and has made 107 catches for 1,463 yards and seven touchdowns in four seasons with the Chargers. He was held out of the past two games because of a hamstring injury and has only two catches for 9 yards this season. Undrafted rookie Tanner Gentry and former Tennessee reserve Tre McBride started at the two wide receiver positions the past two games after Deonte Thompson was waived and Markus Wheaton suffered a groin injury. Coach John Fox isn’t certain how fast a new receiver can pick up the offense. But the Bears have a bye next week and the extra time will help. ”It depends on the guy,” Fox said. ”Some guys are wired differently. I’ve not even met the young man yet, so we’ll determine that kind of as we go.” Trubisky dropped back to throw 11 times Sunday – he was sacked four times – and Loggains said he took two of them rather than risk a turnover. Trubisky is 24 for 48 for 348 yards with two touchdowns, an interception and a passer rating of 79.2. ”We’ve got to be better on third down,” Trubisky said. ”We’ve got to help our defense and keep them off the field. ”That’s just me, going through my progressions, getting our playmakers the ball.” Loggains joked that Fox’s favorite game to talk about is winning once with two pass completions. In all seriousness, Trubisky and Loggains said it was difficult for a quarterback and receivers to get in sync in a game that dictated so few pass attempts Dick Butkus Jerseys Stitched , but they have to continue working at it in practice. ”We’ve just got to develop that rhythm, keep the defense off-balance on first and second down and get into manageable third downs so we can become more efficient,” Trubisky said. ”It’s all about rhythm, staying in a groove and really just continuing to evolve and find our identity and what works best for our offense to help out our defense.” With only an average of 16 passes for each of his starts, Bears coaches seem reluctant to push their rookie quarterback’s development while they try to win games using the run. ”You’ve got to win as you grow,” Loggains said. ”The organization has to win while you grow. ”Sometimes it doesn’t unfold the way you want to. The development thing, he’s going to develop. He’s going to get plenty of snaps and plenty of throws, those things. There is nothing like winning for a young quarterback and that’s what we’re judged on.” —
