However, both can be replaced on draft night. With DeMarcus Walker and Andrew Billings be added this off-season, the Bears have two startable guys now. They really should look to add depth through the draft, but they are in fantastic position for this season on the interior of the OL. That interior is much better than average. That leaves Teven Jenkins and Nate Davis at guard which is a really good combo. I expect Cody Whitehair to kick inside to center where he used to play. The rest of the offensive line is already in place and this would give them a really good starting five. The offensive line as a whole will be improved, but they have to find a franchise left tackle to protect Fields. This is the glaring position of need on the depth chart. It isn’t a glaring need, but Kmet has not contributed much as a blocker, and he hasn’t been the receiving threat they probably hoped for, so it is possible they take a tight end in this loaded class. The two pair for a nice duo at the position. The Bears added former NFC North rival Robert Tonyan to the depth chart behind Cole Kmet. They can add a late-round guy, but unless they think they have a superstar on their hands, receiver is not a need. Brown, and Dante Pettis on the depth chart. They have a solid starting three, as well as solid depth with guys like Velus Jones Jr., Equanimeous St. Moore, as well as Chase Claypool and Darnell Mooney returning. Unless the organization falls in love with a top end receiver in the first couple rounds, the team does not need to address the position. Otherwise, I would imagine they’ll let it ride with the group they have now. If the value was there at the right time in the draft, then they may jump on someone in the middle-to-late rounds. The Bears don’t have to address this position. This room should not be touched by the Bears on draft night and I don’t expect it to. The Bears have their franchise QB and they do not need help at backup having both Trevor Siemian and P.J. This trade opened up a lot of options for the Bears, but before we get into that, let’s review their needs by position. However, the biggest splash they made was trading the number one pick to the Carolina Panthers and moving back to the ninth overall pick. They made a splash in free agency by signing two stud linebackers in Tremaine Edmunds and T.J. This shaped the entire offseason to come. It all started with them landing the number one pick in the last week of the regular season. If he does see action in 2022, Vildor needs to prove he’s not the vulnerability he was in 2021 where he was an easy target for opposing offenses to exploit.The Chicago Bears offseason has been a busy one. What Vildor does provide is experience as a backup with a fair amount of concerns and flaws. He’s behind Gordon and Jaylon Johnson on the outside, and with only nine slot snaps over two years, Vildor hasn’t proved he can be a contender for the nickel corner job either. Let’s face it, Vildor is not earning a starting job. If the coaches don’t see enough from Vildor and determine he’s not a fit in their scheme, there’s a chance he doesn’t make the final roster. Despite being a starter a year ago, Vildor has an uphill battle to earn playing time. This offseason, the Bears signed Tavon Young and drafted Kyler Gordon.
