Team Needs

Defensive Back

The Chicago Bears lost some key parts to their secondary due to free agency, cornerback Prince Amukamara that was released and safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix that decided to sign with the Dallas Cowboys. The Bears tried to sign replacements when free agency opened but no takers. Do not be surprised when they use one of their second-round picks on an safety or cornerback.

Offensive Guard

The long time offensive guard, Kyle Long retired this offseason. The Bears currently have a huge hole at the right guard position. The Bears signed Germain Ifedi, a veteran for cheap. Chicago will be looking to draft a young guard that could take reps from Ifedi and hopefully start over Ifedi half way through the season.

Wide Receiver

The Chicago Bears released their speedy receiver this offseason, Taylor Gabriel. In last year’s draft, the Bears drafted Riley Ridley but did not get a lot of reps due to injury. This does not seem like a huge need for the Bears on paper, but when you have a burner on the outside that demands double coverage it will open the rest of the field for your other receivers, especially Allen Robinson and Anthony Miller.
