Reader Q&A: Dan Pompei's Bears mailbag

I know Brian Urlacher thinks he can play another two years, and given he's the oldest player on defense, do you think the Bears will look to draft a guy to replace him as early as next spring? If so, who would be the best option? Replacing a guy like Urlacher is going to be nearly impossible, but this is the team that invented the middle linebacker, so I know it'll happen. If not next year, then hopefully sooner rather than the seven years it took to find a replacement for Mike Singletary. What are your thoughts? J. Ryan Miller
