There are no doubts that Khalil Mack remains one of the game’s best pass rushers, even after a down year in 2019. But the Bears need to shore up a disappointing pass rush from last season, which included a dip in production. Chicago had 32 sacks in 2019, which was 18 less than the previous season.

Leonard Floyd and Aaron Lynch both disappointed in 2019, and the Bears need to find a viable option opposite Mack. There are some intriguing pass rush prospects that will be at the Scouting Combine, and the Bears would do well to bring in someone that could take over for Floyd following the final year of his deal — or if the Bears decide to pull his fifth-year option.
