Chicago Bears: Post-NFL Draft offensive projections for 2018

After what the Chicago Bears did in the 2018 NFL Draft, our latest offensive projections for 2018 might surprise you a bit.

The 2018 NFL Draft was quite the ride. For the Chicago Bears, all seemed to go according to plan. Ryan Pace and company got their guy in the first round, and from there on out, executed on a promising draft class.

How could such a draft class impact offensive projections? Well, about a month ago, I gave my pre-draft projections for the main skill players after the free agency craze was over. Now, with the additions of Anthony Miller and James Daniels, I think it opens up the passing game even more.

Miller is a perfect wideout for this offense, and losing Cameron Meredith may actually turn out to be a blessing in disguise due to it leading to Miller’s selection in the second round.

As I’ve said recently, I believe Mitch Trubisky could be a top-10 quarterback in 2018. Would it be a surprise? Absolutely. But, is it possible? Again, absolutely. If Trubisky turns in the year I think he has the potential to, the Bears’ offense could be dramatically different.

Last year, they were toward the bottom in most categories: Most notably 30th overall and 29th in scoring. The offense put up just 16.5 points per game under John Fox and Dowell Loggains in 2017. This year, under the likes of Matt Nagy, I think they can reach upwards of 22-25 points per game. It’d be quite the jump, but let’s take a look at just how they could get there.
