Nothing is more obvious to Bears fans than these two glaring holes on roster

The Chicago Bears are going to look different in year two of Ben Johnson than they did in year one. Some changes may surprise people, but many will be expected. You can bet that the Bears will be adding defensive line across the board, and left tackle.

Alex Ballentine of Bleacher Report listed out the biggest missing pieces on both sides of the football for every team. The Bears were the two most obvious holes.

The Chicago Bears' biggest needs are glaringly obvious

On offense, Ballentine went with left tackle.

It is hard to poke any other holes in the roster. They currently are so deep at quarterback, tight end, and wide receiver that they are getting trade calls. The center position has become a shocking but significant need for the Bears, but the most important thing they have to do is solve the left tackle position.

Left tackle is tricky because Ozzy Trapilo is expected to return; he has significant draft capital invested in him, and he could still be their future at left tackle. They have to decide if they want to look for a stopgap, which is a tough needle to thread, or go all out to replace Trapilo, and if it comes back to create a surplus at tackle, so be it.

On defense, the pass rush was listed as the biggest need. This is not a surprise, considering it has been their weakness for a few years now. They do need safety, but those are easier to find. They may create a hole at linebacker with Tremaine Edmunds, but also fill it in-house with D’Marco Jackson.

Ballentine notes that Maxx Crosby or Trey Hendrickson should be the main targets for the Bears, but Crosby is no longer an option after getting traded to the Baltimore Ravens. Hendrickson now becomes the best option there, and this is clearly the biggest need on the roster.

Another big need is the interior defensive line. They may trade Gervon Dexter while Grady Jarrett and Andrew Billings grow older and less productive each year. They have no real names that they can trust or bank on moving forward at this position.

So, while going all in on a big-name rusher would be great, they could also look to spread the money across, bringing in two or three solid contributors.
