Offense is/should be the priority but that doesn't mean the defense should be neglected. We're losing mainstays of our defense from prior seasons in Mack, Hicks, Nichols, Goldman and Trevathan while carrying over holes at CB, S and needing a MLB and SLB for the scheme change. I wouldn't be surprised if Eberflus was like "I just need an impact 3T on D, the rest can be just guys." Word is also that the Bears were in on Brian Allen but he (unsurprisingly) chose to return to the superbowl champions.
There's been a lot of overpays already. Even though we have needs, I'm glad Poles has shown restraint.
