ooo boy....you're asking for an earful with that question, lol.

Well they've already made the first one in hiring Rod Marinali as d-line coach. You might have a different opinion of him, being a Lions fan, but Rod is the BEST d-line coach in the league, and I think he will make a great impact on the Bears.

The next move would be actually making a splash in free agency. With Marinali on board I think the have a good chance to lure one of the top DE's available, either Suggs or Peppers. Personally I'd prefer Suggs, he's an absolute beast.

The next piece they desperately need is a true #1 WR. Housh is available this year, I don't think he'll re-sign with Cincy so he's a possibility. What I would really love to see them do is package their 1st round pick along with either Mark Anderson/Adewale Ogunleye and Nathen Vasher for Anquan Boldin, since he wants out of Zona.

In the draft target an O-linemen in the first round, I'm looking at Duke Robinson, a guard out of Ohio State. Than if they can get him in the second, Josh Freeman. If not than a WR like Kenny Britt.

I honestly do think Orton is the QB of the future for the Bears. Personally I don't think they should have ever taken him out after he won 10 games as a rookie, but I think he has developed well. He'll never put up Peyton Manning type numbers, but he doesn't beat himself. Before his injury this season (DAMN YOUR LIONS!!) he was progressing each game and shouldering the load of the team.

Also the Bears have not had a RB that has been able to do everything Forte did this season since #34. He runs inside, outside, 3rd downs, and catches passes. He will be the leader of the offense for seasons to come.

He became one of my favorite players this season. Coming back from the hit he took solidified his place as one of the toughest players in the league. I'm a big fan of the Hines Ward type of receiver, the kind that isn't afraid to get physical and jam a corner at the line and fight for yards after the catch.
