I'm a Bears fan (unfortunately). Can you guys give me some feedback on Pace, and what to expect?

TIA

Was hoping to hold onto him but I think he'll be a good GM.

Don't know much about him. Been with the Saints for 14 years. Worked his way up to Director of Player Personnel in 2013. Spent most of his time in the scouting department. Before Pace, the Saints had two scouting heads, Pro and College. He will be the youngest GM at 37. (just read all of this in an article).

According to local media, he is highly regarded inside the organization and him leaving will be a big blow.

the ones who are probably at fault are likely the ones about to get promoted.

The funny thing is that they need cornerbacks

True. But on defense they first need Mike LB, DE and Safety before corner.

But if they switch to a 3-4, they'd also need DT.

Bushrod for SJB. New right tackle. Make it happen.
