4. Chicago Bears

4. player. 57. It’s been said many (MANY) times over the past year that the Chicago Bears need to get serious about fixing their talent problems in the secondary. The thing is history shows that great defenses are almost universally built front to back. Having a great front seven makes life so much easier on the back end. GM Ryan Pace has operated with that exact mindset since he took over the team two years ago. Don’t expect that to change here. <p>Arden Key could be the final piece to the puzzle for Chicago on defense. He is a freakish athlete with length, power and and quickness as a pass rusher. Like Leonard Floyd he has all the tools but just needs to add a bit more mass. Hopefully he’ll do that this year at LSU. If he does, then the Bears should be getting another electric quarterback hunter who can team with Floyd moving forward.</p>. OLB. LSU. Arden Key
