"The Bears had a presence at Notre Dame's pro day this week, and while the headliner, running back Jeremiyah Love, won't realistically be an option at No. 25, there were a couple of names that made a lot more sense in Chicago's range."
"At face value, though, using early picks on a running back and a guard (or center) doesn't exactly line up with the Bears' most pressing needs."
"If the Bears are going to take the next step toward legitimate contention, the natural assumption is that the defense gets that same level of attention this April."
"The Bears didn't draft strictly for need last year. They trusted their board, prioritized talent, and figured out the rest later."
The Bears attended Notre Dame's pro day, focusing on players like running back Jadarian Price and interior lineman Billy Schrauth. Price offers explosiveness, while Schrauth provides versatility, especially at center. However, the Bears' primary needs lie in pass rush, defensive line, and second-level speed. Last year, the Bears built around Caleb Williams by prioritizing talent over need. The upcoming draft may see a similar approach, raising questions about whether they will draft for need or trust their board again.
