Top 5 Chicago Bears Draft Needs

Dec 6, 2014; Atlanta, GA, USA; Alabama Crimson Tide fans celebrate their win with a banner promoting wide receiver Amari Cooper for the heisman trophy after Alabama

3. Wide Receiver

I went into last season touting the Bears as having the best wide receiver duo in the league.  The dynamic duo has been broken up as Ryan Pace sent Brandon Marshall, his bloated contract and his usual 100 catch/1000 yards packing.  Last season, the Bears expected Marquess Wilson to emerge as the “go-to” #3 wide receiver.  A training camp shoulder injury sidelined him and he never got it going.  Now the Bears suddenly have a big void at wide receiver.  They added Eddie Royal via Free Agency, but you don’t know what you can expect from him.

The wide receiver class is deep with talented playmakers.  If the Bears don’t jump on one of the top guys with pick #7, they will have plenty of options to get a playmaker
