Bears need a #2 WR

[SugarWalls]

The bears should absolutely be taking BPA on offense for both of their round 2 picks next year.

OG is the number one need for this team, and TE is a very close second. The bears simply do not have time to draft and develop a TE unless an absolute can’t miss prospect is there. I don’t foresee that option, and it looks like the bears will need to make a strong offer in FA.

The bears could possibly land Scherff in FA, and that would be huge for them.

A tackle is of course needed as well, and if the opportunity presents the bears should definitely grab one.

The WR position could use another stud. It’s not the weakest unit on the team, however Ridley and wims really aren’t bringing anything to the table. They are depth players. They are not NFL playmakers and are fringe starters.

The bears could be benefactors of there only being 1-3 WR’s taken in round one, and there very well may be an absolute unit sitting there in round 2. It would be huge if they could get a non midget speedster to play across from robinson, and then move miller to the slot. Imagine a guy like DJ chark....

may be an unpopular opinion due to how absolute trash the OL is, but this off season the bears should do everything in their power to bring the offense out of the basement of the NFL. A second WR would be a huge help if Pace can get a TE and OG in free agency.

I'd rather give Wims and Miller at least a year to give it a shot to see what they can do before i just write off the guy isn't here.. Riddley is likely too slow to get the job done. Draft someone sure, but you can't let what is happening on the O-line not be a top addressed issue, whether it be by coaching, or talent replacement.

 

[Black Rainbow]

Yes, this would be unpopular.

Robinson and Miller are the best players on offense. This isn't a need for a QB with poor accuracy.

Disrespecting the god Tony Miller

 

[TexasBearfan]

even if you draft a stud it could take him 1-3 years to develop.....ask the raiders where they found waller

 

[legendxofxlink]

Miller is a top 10 WR past 4 weeks. They need a better TE and RG more than anything.

 

[SugarWalls]

Imagine turbo Taylor if he was 6’2.

You need to take what the draft gives you while also considering need. You won’t find a premium tackle in round 2, especially not if 6 get taken in round 1.

The bears simply cannot afford to draft TE.

Yes a stud guard wild be ideal, but you can’t give up on Daniels just yet, and if the bears land a guard in free agency they won’t need to draft one.

There is a good chance a stud WR is staring the bears in the face in round 2. If so .... you take him. Add another weapon, not another gimmick wrinkle. Add a true WR to play opposite robinson.

Add another dependable threat. Someone than can make a play, not someone that needs the perfect ball or the scheme to work. Add a legit playmaker if the opportunity arises.

davante Adams ... juju smith schuster ... there is WR talent to be had at the top of round 2. IF the opportunity presents itself you make the move.

Just give it a chance and let miller wimms Ridley develop

jettison Gabriel he is useless

 

[Noonthirtyjoe]

Wr is the least of our problems. Oline and te then olb.

Yes but again as stated the draft poses problems, especially at TE. The bears cannot afford 3 years to develop a TE. They absolutely need to grab one in FA or simply pray that burton can find a way to be somewhat useful again.

grab a guard in FA.

does it really make sense to take 2 players in round 2 and neither of them be day 1 starters???? Sure, grab a tackle to develop and replace massie or Leno in round 2. The other player needs to be an impact player.

A WR at top of round 2 will come in and start day 1.

Spent a 4th rounder on Ridley who was being called a steal in the draft, how bout playing him more instead?

 

[KittiesKorner]

you can't play him more if you don't draft him

?

 

[SugarWalls]

 

[bamainatlanta]

Not my first choice but it is a need. If Devonta Smith declares and is there, you have to take him

 

[bamainatlanta]

He wont be available in the 2nd.

 

[PeterMbangala]

I absolutely do not want to draft a TE. It takes a long time for them to be NFL ready on average and Pace does not have a good record taking 2nd round TEs. So that position will need to be solved via free agency.

OL - I think there is a good chance that a very good OT is available when we take our first pick around 45-50. I'm sure there will be a RG we can take too. My preference would be to make at least one long-term upgrade here in the second-round. I don't know enough about how deep the draft class is at OL. While I agree that elite tackles are nearly always first-rounders, we can likely upgrade on Leno/Massie where we pick.

If there is a WR available that we like and we have already made one or two moves to upgrade the OL, then I would have zero problem with it. It is not a need, and I think Wims has shown us something and could be a good outside receiver. But the class is deep at WR apparently and I can see the logic.

To me, as a need, is it well below TE, OT, G, Edge, CB so it would need to be a compelling BPA situation.

Miller has really shown up the past few weeks.....I think he is a starter...

Find a backup TE in free agency

So you are suggesting this offense is a backup TE away from succeeding?

I agree miller is a starter. Let him play the slot. Get a legit WR2 to play alongside Robinson. Get a real TE. Lets invest in the offense.

Burton was a top ten TE in the league in the shitty offense last year. If he's healthy, an improved Trubisky will make use of him. There are bigger problems on the team than an improvement over Burton.

I think Burton is fine as a starter, they need a backup. I don't see the cap room available to fix the oline, the TE position, and plug the few holes in the defense, and extend guys.

 

[SugarWalls]

Trubisky will not be a top 5 QB and the bears will be lucky to see him be top 10. Why not surround him with talent???

Mediocre weapons are not going to get it done. Look around the league at successful offenses and it is t ever just 1 player.

Look at mahomes. Not only is he a better QB than trubisky but that offense is loaded at the o line and across the board with weapons. Kelce, Tyreek hill, Sammy Watkins .... and yet they still drafted mecole hardman and he sees play time.

We know trubisky is not a top half QB. How is the offense supposed to thrive with mediocre weapons? Allen robinson, Anthony Miller, and Trey Burton.... it’s not enough. The bears have 2 2nd round picks and this years WR class is deep. Multiple WR’s will fall and the bears should absolutely leap at the chance to grab one.
