Chicago has some pretty important positions of need to address on their roster, including wide receiver, offensive line, cornerback and safety. But it also wouldn’t be a surprise to see general manager Ryan Poles attempt to trade back to acquire more draft capital.
Heading into Day 2, here’s a look at the Bears’ biggest positional needs they can address in the second and third rounds.
