32. Aaron Lynch

Last Year: 33

Yes, the Chicago Bears have Leonard Floyd and Khalil Mack leading their outside linebacker group. However, depth matters in the NFL, we all know that. In that regard, the Chicago Bears are short at this position.

Lynch was ranked 33rd last season for a similar reason. His talent was completely questionable heading into the season, but on the team he was competing for the number two role.

This year, his talent has been more confirmed but his role is more confirmed as a number three pass rusher as well. The Bears did not much to add to the position this offseason. Heck, they barely showed interest in bringing Lynch back.

They got Lynch back on a one-year deal at a low cost. This shows that while yes, he was able to carve out a role last season, he still is not expected to provide much more value than a season before. If Lynch provided similarily in 2019 to 2018 everybody would be happy, and Lynch may get a chance to scoot up to 31 next.
