QB Orton Signs One-Year Extension with Bears

In a move that is supposed to encourage a QB competition during training camp and hopefully get either the best out of Orton or Grossman, the Bears resigned Kyle Orton. Once again, these don't seem like great moves on their own, but probably are justified seeing as the Bears won't be able to draft a sure thing QB at their 14th overall pick, and are unlikely to pick one up in free agency without shelling out something major. Although their defense is declining, the o-line is aging, and they probably need some new talent at WR... their depth chart is serviceable enough that they don't need to declare themselves a rebuilding project yet and unload guys like Brian Urlacher and their CB tandem. What would probably be a good move for them though is picking up one of the early second round QBs available in this year's draft. Brian Brohm and Matt Ryan along with maybe one of the following guys are going to go in the first round, but if the Bears package their 2nd and 3rd round picks to get a 2nd round pick in the top 5 (Rams maybe, because they don't need a QB) they could pick up Joe Flacco, Chad Henne, John David Booty, or Andre Woodson. All of those guys are probably projects, but not much more so than Grossman or Orton, and picking them could probably placate Bears fans as well as adding one more option during Training Camp.
