Scott Dragos is the only pure fullback on the roster. The Bears want another one. It will help Cade McNown, or whoever plays quarterback. It will help James Allen. It will help the defense in terms of field position and ball control.
Fullbacks still make sense.
James is quick and will benefit from that. A fullback gives us more options in terms of protecting the quarterback. It brings the defense inside, which is good and bad. But a two-back set removes some of the burden from the quarterback to constantly make decisions in the passing game. Look for the Bears to grind it out more, something they have done well over the years whenever they put their minds to it.
