This has been a top need area for years and Angelo admitted he might have gone ahead and drafted a wide receiver in the first round in 2009 if the Bears had not engineered the trade for Cutler. Imagine how Hakeem Nicks might look atop the depth chart right now. It remains to be seen how the To Be Announced general manager will assess the position. Early indications are new offensive coordinator Mike Tice wants a big-play element to the passing game while remaining run-oriented. Some of the most successful coaching staffs Tice was ever a part of included Randy Moss and Cris Carter. He knows what dominant wide receivers look like. There could very well be an option or two in free agency and the Bears need to begin developing wide receivers which is a reason why Greg Olson is an ideal candidate to become the passing game coordinator/quarterbacks coach. He’s had success in offenses with young receivers previously. However you break down the needs of the offense, and the line could use some more talent, wide receiver has to be at the top of the stack.
