The Chicago Bears have done an impressive job rebuilding their roster over the past couple years but there’s still one glaring weakness. That’s their pass rush. This was made even worse by the fact that Leonard Floyd broke his hand in preseason already. Considering this situation takes place in the strongest quarterback division in football, their prospects for 2018 don’t look ideal.

If Ryan Pace manages to survive another losing season or if he ends up getting replaced, it doesn’t matter. This team badly needs pass rush help. Montez Sweat is somebody bound to rise up boards by next year. He only started playing Division I ball last year after a stint in JUCO but quickly had 10.5 sacks. He’s big, long, powerful and athletic enough to play outside linebacker.
