Plenty of Help Available Via the Draft and Free Agency for Bears
Here are some guys they should target.
The needs of the Chicago bears are many and well-chronicled. They include interior defensive line help, an edge pass rusher, a linebacker or two, help on the offensive line and a number one WR. They will also have to do something at RB, even if it’s just resigning David Montgomery. Fortunately for them, their needs and the available talent match up pretty well. Having your QB in place is a huge help. Let’s look at the available talent.
Help for the defensive line is available
In most mock drafts, the Bears are trading down. But despite that, most drafts show the Bears drafting either Alabama edge rusher, Will Anderson Jr., or Georgia defensive tackle, Jalen Carter. Free agency also offers some potential help.
The Bears should snag one of these guys
Eagles’ DE, Javon Hardgrove could be a huge help to the Bears if the Eagles don’t lock him down. The same could be said for Commanders’ DT, Daron Payne. Yannick Ngakoue isn’t particularly good against the run but racked up 9.5 sacks from his DE slot with the Colts last season. Jadeveon Clowney is also available but recorded only two sacks last season. He may be worth taking a flyer however, based on past performance.
