Draft Needs for the Bears

It’s absolutely no secret that the Bears have more than a few needs to assess in the offseason.  Of course, one of the very best places to fill these needs is in the NFL draft.  If you don’t believe me, then just ask Bill Parcells.  The man has been the architect of more than one NFL organization, and he loves to build through the draft.  Having said that, it appears that Brad Biggs feels the Bears’ front office could use a little help on draft day, so he has ranked the Chicago Bears’ draft needs.  The ranking is certainly subjective to Mr. Biggs’ opinions on the game, and may not reflect actual draft day activity.  Still, it’s a solid little read.

When looking at the list, it’s easy to fall into the pit of despair.  It seems the Bears have an insurmountable summit to tackle if they wish to make it back to the top of the NFL anytime soon, but in reality, the Bears aren’t nearly so far as people think.  They will certainly have to look to free agency and a possible blockbuster trade if they want to make the quick jump back to the top of the NFC North, but they should be a much-improved team next year.  They certainly will have plenty of freedom in the draft to make some key acquisitions.  Right now, the Bears’ 2008 season hinges directly on how smart their offseason moves turn out to be.
