The Chicago Bears have a slew of roster needs heading into the 2022 NFL draft. While wide receiver and offensive line have been popular topics of conversation — for good reason — there are other needs on defense.
That includes linebacker, a position that got thinner this offseason with the departures of Alec Ogletree and Danny Trevathan. While Roquan Smith anchors the linebacking corp, there are questions about who will line up alongside him in Chicago’s new 4-3 defense.
The Bears signed Nicholas Morrow in free agency, who projects to fill one of those starting roles. But Morrow is on a one-year deal and they still have another starting job to fill in an otherwise thin free agent market. It doesn’t help that they have limited draft capital (six picks) amid an abundance of needs.
