You could do worse than bring Yannick back, or I think Josh Sweat is still a trade option after the draft from the Eagles. Wouldn't mind a couple of Sweaty DE's.
This is still where I would take the best defensive lineman rather than just look at a positional need DE. I would then trust Poles to fill in the need for DE later in the draft, or through what is left in free agency or even a trade.
I could see it going either way DE or DT.
A pass rush like this...............Sweat, Dexter, Walker, Verse.
Or one like this.............Sweat, Dexter, Murphy, and perhaps bringing back Ngakoue.
I could see Murphy grading out higher than either Verse or Latu on the Bears board. If that is the case, you draft him. Now since Murphy does not fit every defense, he probably will fall to the mid-first round. Trade with the Saints take Murphy and use the next two picks for a WR and a DE.
Right now, before the draft if you are looking for the real Bears trio of receivers it would be Moore, Allen and Kmet. No matter what Wiliams is going to have a lot of weapons to throw to.
Could be, but until someone knocks them off the top of this division.
1 Lions
2 Packers, a close second at this time.
3 Bears loading up, but just gotta wait and see.
4 Vikings, at this point not even close.
