#3 Chicago Bears: Joe Thomas, LT

I waffled a bit on this choice between Thomas and J.J. Watt for Chicago but I couldn’t pass on the consistency and the excellent and the excellent consistency of Joe Thomas.  The Bears are building a nice interior to its OL with Josh Sitton, Cody Whitehair, and Kyle Long as the G-C-G combination.  But the Bears need to improve on the edges.  Jay Cutler got routinely smoked behind a porous Chicago line.  Adding Joe Thomas would solidify the Bears front and improve what is quietly a pretty good running game in the Windy City.
