Offseason Analysis: Chicago Bears

Well the Bears picked a starting QB for better or worse.  To be fair, Kyle Orton looked decent at times. 

The Bears struck gold with rookie RB Matt Forte. 

Devin Hester made strides at WR last year and Rashied Davis was decent, but they could use some help at WR.  My guess is they will draft an WR at some point or bring in a low-end WR a la Marty Booker and Brandon Lloyd. 

Greg Olsen is a major threat as a receiving tight end, and forms a great TE pair with Desmond Clark. 

Defensively Mike Brown and Nick Roach are their key free agents.  Given Brown’s injury history, I don’t see him going anywhere, although the Bears may choose not to bring him back.
