Biggest hole: Wide receiver
The real answer for the Bears' biggest remaining hole is a "pick your poison" ordeal. They have too many issues to solve, including offensive line, defensive line and linebacker (outside of
Roquan Smith, of course). Wide receiver is the most hindering issue right now, though. The team lost a slew of pass-catchers, most notably
Allen Robinson II, and did not do enough to replace them.
Incumbent
Darnell Mooney is a solid player, but he is a WR3 on a good team. As far as veterans go, the Bears only signed
Byron Pringle and
Equanimeous St. Brown. Both are WR4 types who have moonlighted as WR3s, but never because the team wanted to do that on purpose. Chances are they will be WR2 and WR3 in Chicago. The team also drafted
Velus Jones Jr. out of Tennessee, but at least in Year 1, he is probably more of a gadget player and returner than a real-deal wideout.
NFL draft season is over and the offseason is in full swing. How are rosters looking post-draft and which positions could still use an upgrade before the 2022 season starts?
