Pro Football Focus grades the bears off season so far

The new regime in Chicago was in a tough spot when it took over. The Bears were not in a position with stockpiled resources and cap space to immediately take major strides in a positive direction, as there was some tearing down required before they could begin to build back up. Trading away Khalil Mack was one of the first significant moves they made. Allen Robinson also departed, removing two of the team's best players in recent years with little in the way of ready-made replacements

Receiver Byron Pringle and offensive lineman Lucas Patrick represent the kind of low-price roll of the dice they were interested in making, as they were hoping to upgrade incrementally without much cash outlay while building through the draft.

When it came to draft time, the team went defense with their first two selections before finally finding some help for Justin Fields. Velus Jones Jr. looked excellent in his last season in college, but he is two years older than Fields and will be a 25-year old rookie. On Day 3, they added four different offensive linemen, hoping that one or more sticks and upgrades an ugly-looking unit on paper. The team didn't have much room to maneuver this offseason, but it still feels like they did little to ensure their most important player (Fields) succeeds.
