5. Bears aren’t done at tight end this offseason

One of the Bears’ biggest needs this offseason comes at the tight end position, which Chicago has wasted no time addressing already. The Bears signed former Browns tight end Demetrius Harris, who played with Matt Nagy during his time in Kansas City. But when Pace addressed the media, he made it clear that the Bears will explore the tight end position in free agency and the NFL Draft.

Given Nagy’s offense is predicated on the success of the tight end, that’s an area of need that ranks near the top of the list on the offense. There will be several high-profile tight ends on the free agent market, including Austin Hooper, Hunter Henry and Eric Ebron, which you figure the Bears are targeting one of those players. But the NFL Draft also boasts a pretty deep tight end class, which should give Chicago their pick of tight ends in the second round.
