The Bears are like every other team in the league in that they need to stockpile as many pass-rushers as possible, but they don’t need to use the seventh pick in the draft to do it.
We’ve heard about the Bears need for pass-rush, but that need and the available talent in the draft may be overstated.
Pass rush has always been the most important way to disrupt a great quarterback, but the Bears weren’t exactly terrible in that department last year. The Bears had 39 sacks last year, one fewer than the Super Bowl Champs and two more than Seattle, the team that shut down Aaron Rodgers twice.
