Wide receiver (6): D.J. Moore, Rome Odunze, Keenan Allen, Tyler Scott, DeAndre Carter, Collin Johnson

Moore, Odunze, Allen, and Scott are locks. If Carter makes the team, it will be due to his abilities in the return game. Keeping Carter makes Velus Jones Jr. redundant, and Carter has proven more than Jones has. Odunze and Allen will give Moore the help he has desperately needed and should give the Bears one of the best WR trios in the league.

For the final spot, I'm going with Collin Johnson for now. The receiver has a massive frame and would give the team another potential red zone threat. This could easily change based on preseason performances, with Dante Pettis, Nsimba Webster, and Freddie Swain also vying for the spot. It also wouldn't be a surprise to see the final spot go to an outside addition before September.
