Alabama's Calvin Ridley strong candidate to solve Bears' WR woes

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- It's not a secret that the Chicago Bears are desperate for help at wide receiver.

Last season, Kendall Wright (unrestricted free agent) led all of Chicago's wideouts with 59 receptions for 614 yards. The next closest receiver in terms of production: Joshua Bellamy, who caught 24 passes for 376 yards.

With so much already invested in quarterback Mitchell Trubisky, ESPN NFL draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. believes the Bears' next move is to surround the former second overall pick with better weapons at the skill positions.
