Will the Bears draft an offensive lineman?

With so many holes on both sides of the ball, will the Bears look to get an offensive lineman or wide receiver in the draft? — @boss_hawg98

With a current inventory of nine draft picks, I would be pretty surprised if the Bears do not draft an offensive lineman. In fact, I think as a general rule it’s a pretty good idea to invest in a lineman each year knowing that you’re not going to hit on all of them. The Bears have a particular need at guard as they head toward free agency. Even if they sign a player to plug in at right guard, it will be a veteran and given Matt Slauson’s veteran status at left guard, adding a younger guard to the mix would make a lot of sense, especially if they see one in the middle rounds that has some traits and perhaps the flexibility to play center or slide outside in a pinch. But you can’t create a player that isn’t there and they need to remain true to the board. Also, if there is a very talented offensive tackle when they pick No. 11, you’d have to at least consider it if he had a higher grade than the defensive players available. As far as wide receiver, that doesn’t look like a top need to me. I’d look closely at what is a weak tight end class. If the Bears see a wide receiver with traits in the later rounds, why not? The Saints did a pretty nice job of finding wide receivers when general manager Ryan Pace was there. Offensive line is a greater need in my opinion.
