While Khalil Mack remains the anchor of Chicago’s defense, the Bears need to shore up its disappointing pass rush from a season ago. Production was down as a unit for the pass rush — the Bears had 32 sacks, which was 18 less than last season. Leonard Floyd and Aaron Lynch both disappointed in 2019, and the Bears need to find a viable option opposite Mack.

There will be options to address pass rusher in free agency, including names like Shaquil Barrett and Carl Nassib. Although pending free agent Jadeveon Clowney seems like a pipe dream.
