The Chicago Bears Offseason

The Bears have a lot of needs. The positions that they need to address through the draft and/or free agency include, but are not limited to the following (in no particular order): defensive end, wide receiver, offensive tackle/guard, safety, linebacker, running back, quarterback, fullback. And let me answer that question for you - yes, that is a lot of needs. The Bears have the 18th pick. Mock drafts on this here thing that I call the interweb seem to think that the Bears are going to select Darrius Heyward-Bey, WR, Maryland. I've also seen a few thinking they're going to go defense and select Michael Johnson, DE, Georgia Tech. But hey, what do mock drafters know? They had the Bears taking Brian Brohm or Jeff Otah last season, Jon Beason or Tony Ugoh in 2007, and Sinorice Moss or Leonard Pope in 2006. Any of those guys Bears? No? Ok then.

Starting tomorrow I'll attempt to go through each need for the Bears, addressing who is available via the draft and free agency. A new position will go up each week. This week it begins with... Defensive End.
