Chicago Bears: Roster issues no one is talking about

2. What about the WR core?

Let’s face it: Outside of Allen Robinson, the Bears wide receivers failed to live up to expectations in 2019. Anthony Miller was expected to have a breakout season but didn’t show up until the second half of the season. Javon Wims and Riley Ridley were rarely given a chance to play and then Taylor Gabriel was injured at multiple points in 2019.

While Gabriel is likely gone, the Bears would go into 2020 with Robinson, Miller, Wims, and Ridley. While this is still a solid core, Miller has yet to prove that he can be a complement to Robinson while Wims and Ridley need more playing time to showcase what they really can do.

What the Bears will need to do this offseason is add a speedy slot receiver that will be able to stretch the middle of defenses. Luckily, the 2020 NFL Draft is projected to be one of the deepest at the wide receiver position meaning that the Bears will have a plethora of options in later rounds.

As of right now, wide receiver is perhaps the most stable position on the offensive side of the ball but the Bears still need to add some talent to the position in order to create competition while also creating a legitimate core that will perform consistently for whoever the quarterback is in 2020.
