With the 2018 NFL Combine starting on Friday, the Chicago Bears need to focus on a few areas. Here are some they should target.

Well, the 2018 NFL Combine is upon us. Friday is the first day prospects get to showcase their skills and have their bodies and minds looked over at great detail. Teams, among them the Chicago Bears, take a deep look at these youngsters before they decide to make a substantial investment on them.

There are quite a few areas the Bears need to improve. Depending on what their free agency plans are, they will use the draft to supplement the areas going through veterans don’t cover.

The Bears’ top priority is to improve the offense. New head coach Matt Nagy has a pretty high-powered offense. He has some pieces now but needs to add more to be able to run that offense. Quarterback Mitch Trubisky needs targets to throw to and he needs protection. Also, running back Jordan Howard could use bigger holes to run through.

On Friday, the running backs, offensive linemen, and special teams players step up to the stage. The Bears may take a look at running back late just for depth if they look there at all. The offensive linemen are really important and some special teams additions could help that area as well.

I keep repeating that this is a very important offseason for the Chicago Bears. Fans have had enough of the losing seasons and the one step forward, two steps back routine. It’s time to go forward and not look back. This draft could go a long way toward accomplishing that.

Here are some prospects the Bears need to look at to help improve the team.
