Bears projected to focus on offensive line and edge rusher in upcoming draft

theathletic.com

In a recent mock draft, the Chicago Bears are projected to select two offensive linemen and an edge rusher with their top three picks. This strategy aims to address critical needs in their offensive and defensive lines. The first-round pick is expected to be Josh Simmons, an offensive tackle from Ohio State, despite concerns about his recent knee surgery. The Bears have a history of injuries with offensive linemen, making this choice risky. In the second round, the Bears may choose Wyatt Milum, a guard/center from West Virginia, and Landon Jackson, an edge rusher from Arkansas. Both selections aim to strengthen the team's pass protection and pass rush, which were lacking last season.
