OT. Troy. Antonio Garcia . 4. player. 57. This is not the year for a team to go searching for their franchise offensive tackles. In truth the Bears are in total disarray at the position. Towards the end of the year both Bobby Massie and Charles Leno showed they could be adequate starters for the time being. That doesn’t mean more competition and depth shouldn’t be added. Besides, it’s not like the class is totally void of potential future starters. <p>Antonio Garcia is the perfect example. He was an outstanding blind side protector at Troy, not allowing a single sack in 2016. He’s a good athlete with length who shows advanced fundamental understanding of his position. The sticking point for a lot of teams will be his body. He looks a little too thin for the NFL, which means he’ll have to add some weight before he’s ready. That makes him a perfect project.</p>
