Bears' Priorities Fall On Offensive, Defensive Line
2 years agoThe Chicago Bears' biggest draft priorities this year are on the offensive and defensive lines, and at No. 9 overall, they could go either way with names like Northwestern's Peter Skoronski or Ohio State's Paris Johnson Jr. on the O-line, or choose to beef up their pass rush with Iowa defensive end Lukas Van Ness or Georgia edge rusher Nolan Smith. The Bears don't pick again until No. 53, so they could miss a run on the top offensive/defensive line prospects. ESPN's Matt Miller is hearing Georgia defensive tackle Jalen Carter won't fall past Chicago's No. 9 pick. The Seattle Seahawks (No. 5) and Detroit Lions (No. 6) could take Carter inside the top-10 picks. Carter would profile as a great building block for the Bears' 4-3 defense.
