If the Bears decide to stay put with picks 43 and 50, there are some opportunities for them to address some important roster needs.

5. Wide receiver

While receiver was far from the biggest problem on offense last season for the Bears, that doesn’t mean it’s not a need for Chicago. Following the release of cap-casualty Taylor Gabriel, the Bears need to find his speedy replacement. And there’s no better time to do that than in this deep class of receivers.

There were six receivers taken in the first round of the NFL Draft, but there is still a ton of talent on the board that could be available for the Bears when pick 43 or 50 rolls around. Clemson’s Tee Higgins, Baylor’s Denzel Mims and Penn State’s KJ Hamler are guys that bring an explosiveness to the receiver position, which is exactly what the Bears are looking for in a running mate for Allen Robinson.
