The Bears’ biggest need on their defense is on their defensive line. That said, it wouldn’t be surprising for them to invest in another starting cornerback this offseason.
With how much cap space and draft capital Chicago has to work with this year, it would be a total shock if they didn’t invest significant resources into both the defensive tackle and defensive end positions. There is a quality defensive line class in free agency — especially at defensive tackle — and two of the top prospects in the 2023 NFL Draft are defensive linemen.
Assuming they do so, that provides the chance to truly prioritize the best possible value over need in the draft, even more so than teams already do.
