DECEMBER 02: Jonathan Scott #79, Gabe Carimi #72 and Roberto Garza #63 of the Chicago Bears look over the defensive formation of the Seattle Seahawks The Bears' had major problems on the offensive line over the previous few years.

If 2011 first-round pick Gabe Carimi is trying to punch his ticket out of Chicago after two disappointing seasons, he's on the right path.

In 2011, the previous regime in Chicago liked Gabe Carimi enough to pick him in the first round of the NFL draft.

Taking into account the other options available - unknown, unproven young centers and guys that don't actually play center - Roberto Garza has to be the Bears' center in 2013.

The Bears are wasting little time reaching deals with their 2013 draft class, announcing they've agreed to terms with offensive tackle Jordan Mills and defensive end Cornelius Washington on four-year contracts on Wednesday.

The Chicago Bears knew they needed help at linebacker and on the offensive line, so it was no coincidence they doubled up their efforts at those spots on Saturday's final day of the NFL draft.

Remember last year when everyone was screaming at Chicago Bears GM Phil Emery for ignoring the offensive line? Well, he heard you.
