2. Can the Chicago Bears finally address the 3-technique

We all know the Chicago Bears not only need edge rusher help, but they also need interior defensive line help. To be honest, they could be adding a nose tackle just as high as 3-technique. Still, they really need to get the penetrating interior defensive lineman right.

Last season they tried for Larry Ogunjobi and missed out. We knew that Logan Hall was high on their board, but he went before Kyler Gordon was drafted. They wound up with Justin Jones, who just is not as high-quality of a fit. The Colts traded for DeForest Buckner, and that was the piece that gave his defense the extra edge that was needed.

It is obvious they need this spot. The question will be how does it happen? They could spend big, and a name like Dre'Mont Jones is out there is free agency looking for a payday. They also could spend the number nine overall pick on a spot like this, it is that valuable.

Considering the team is almost certainly going to spend a high pick, or serious money on this position in the draft, it is clear that it is one of their highest priority needs.
