looking at the depth chart, i agree.
i'd love another weapon for williams to make him as successful as possible, but this DL is still pretty bleak. https://www.ourlads.com/nfldepthcharts/depthchart/CHI Sweat is a really good piece at DE. Opposite him, you've got Demarcus Walker, who is a decent run stopping DE, but doesn't generate a lot of pressure. Behind him, you've got Dominique Robinson, who is all projection and little production. He's frankly been bad. You added Jacob Martin, who in very limited snaps showed that he can maybe get some pressure. He got 11 pressures on 107 pass rush snaps, which is pretty good, but you can't rely on that as your #2 outside rusher. On the inside, you've basically only got a 3 man rotation at the moment of Billings, Dexter, and Pickens. The other two on the depth chart were practice squad players who haven't played an NFL snap. Billings had a really good year at nose tackle and I'm glad they brought him back. Dexter showed some flashes of pure physicality in pass rush, but has a long way to go to learn polish in his game and was pretty bad vs. the run. Pickens was very similar. Had some flashes in getting pressures but was absent vs. the run. I don't think there's any way they go into the season without adding at least 1 quality piece on the line, either in the draft or via available free agents. Players still on the market I think would be a fit: DE: Bring back Yannick Ngakoue- He pretty bad last year but did improve a bit once Sweat came on board. At least knows the defense and the calls. Charles Harris- Good rotational player. Only had 2 sacks last year. Undersized for what the Bears want. Carl Lawson- Chronically injured, a bit undersized for what the Bears do at DE. Emmanual Ogbah- Wrong side of 30 and on the downside of his career. Pass rush only type player but did have 6 sacks last year. DT: uhhhhhh ... ... Bryan Mone, who was just ok for the seahawks in 2022 and missed all of last season and is a nose tackle only? it's bleak. I honestly can't believe Poles didn't get at least 1 major addition to the line.
