With the first wave of free agency in the books, Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles still has some work to do to continue building his roster. But he made some moves on defense, including the additions of linebackers Tremaine Edmunds and T.J. Edwards, as well as defensive linemen DeMarcus Walker and Andrew Billings.
When looking at these projections on defense, it’s clear that Poles still has some moves to make to improve this defense. You could argue there are five starting jobs that need to be filled, including possibly all four spots on the defensive line and a need at cornerback.
Following the first wave of free agency, we’re predicting what the current Bears starting defense would look like (with current players on the roster and others who could be added in the NFL draft).
