Chicago Bears

Key Draft Needs: TE, QB, CB

Record: 3-11

Tight End – Zach Miller is the only decent receiving tight end the Bears have and he’s on IR once again. If Bucky Hodges begins to slip, the Bears could take a chance on a flashy target for their new quarterback.

Quarterback – Jay Cutler will be 34-years-old in 2017, and will be coming off shoulder surgery. Besides that, the team has no real backup plan either. They badly need a quarterback, and should be looking to draft one in the first round. North Carolina quarterback Mitch Trubisky projects to be the most NFL ready quarterback of the class should he declare. If Trubisky stays in school, da Bears will cross their fingers and hope Deshaun Watson falls low enough they can trade back into the first round.

Cornerback – The Bears secondary as a whole is a jumbled mess. They have some interesting young options at corner, but many have been hurt lately. Kyle Fuller looks to be done for the 2016 season with a knee injury. Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio called out Fuller, questioning his drive to play. Using a second round pick on someone such as Tre’Davious White or Desmond King would be a wise move.
