We’re just a couple weeks away from the next phase of the pre-NFL Draft process: The NFL Scouting Combine. The Scouting Combine will feature 337 prospects that are looking to improve their draft stock under the watchful eyes of general managers, coaches and scouts.

With the Bears looking to address several needs on offense and defense, there are no shortage of positions that they should be monitoring. But there are some that will require more attention than others.

Here are five positional groups the Bears should pay close attention to at the NFL Scouting Combine:

1. Tight ends

Tight end is arguably the most important area of need this offseason, especially for an offense that relies heavily on tight end production. Following a season where Bears tight ends combined for 46 receptions for 416 yards and one touchdown in 2019, Chicago needs to find a way to reverse their misfortunes at the position.

The Bears are likely to address tight end both in free agency and the NFL Draft, where there will be no shortage of viable options sitting there in the second round for Chicago. The Bears should have their pick at tight end, and they might be the first team to select a tight end in the NFL Draft.
