The Chicago Bears desperately need help in the receiving department for the 2018 season, the upcoming draft is a place to find talent. Here are five receivers the Bears should consider drafting.

As all Bears fans know, the receivers that Mitchell Trubisky was throwing last year will not cut it if Chicago has any hopes of contending for the 2018 season. Yes, Kevin White and Cameron Meredith should both be back, and stalwart Kendall Wright will also be back. However, none of those three are contenders be a legitimate number one receiver on a playoff contender.

There are plenty of routes the Bears could consider going, maybe they risk the future and trade even more draft picks for a chance at someone like AJ Green or DeAndre Hopkins. That in itself is risky because with all risk there is a chance of regret. What if one of the picks they trade become a future All-Pro player? With the team just risking it all for their QB in Trubisky during last year’s draft, a trade seems unlikely.

The most likely route that the team will decide to go is draft a top-notch wide receiver during the 2018 draft. There are plenty of players that the Bears can decide to take a shot on, whoever it is, must blossom into a star. Currently Chicago has the 8th pick in the upcoming draft. Some fans hope the team takes a star receiver there, however the smart move would be drafting a defensive player while waiting for a WR later. Here are five options the Bears should consider drafting in the 2018 draft.
