The Chicago Bears have been very busy in the free agent market, signing a trio of players: DE Julius Peppers, RB Chester Taylor and TE Brandon Manumaleuna.
There are two camps forming after these moves. One is the "Primed For a Title Run" camp, the other is the "When Did Daniel Snyder Take Over?" camp. There are some out there who believe the Bears just went on a terrible spending spree, and won't be rewarded for it.
But what does this mean for Chicago's drafting strategy? Not a whole lot. The Bears don't have a first round pick (the 11th overall selection belongs to Denver as part of the Jay Cutler trade). The Bears don't have a second round pick, either (the 42nd overall pick belongs to Tampa Bay as part of the Gaines Adams trade).
The Bears do have a third round pick, but by the time they make the 75th pick of the draft, a lot will have changed. It's a bit early to say that the Peppers, Taylor and Manumaleuna signings have drastically altered Chicago's draft day plans. There's a lot that can happen between now and the 75th pick.
