You can’t underestimate the importance of edge rusher in the NFL — even when Khalil Mack is lined up on the other side. The Bears’ pass rush suffered mightily in 2019, and perhaps they can find a young talent in the NFL Draft to help with that.

In a talented group of pass rushers, the Bears could find a valuable one during the middle rounds in Wisconsin outside linebacker Zack Baun. Baun had 76 total tackles, 12.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and an interception with the Badgers in 2019. Baun is a quick and explosive outside rusher that the Bears could look to add on Day 2.
