27 different threads debating what to do at QB is great, but I'm about spent on reading through them all. lol Wanted to start a thread looking at the other 21 positions on the field and what sort of options the Bears might have beefing up the rest of the roster.
Saw this article from yesterday that prompted the thread.
Personally, I'd love to see a top FA Center and WR brought in. A solid OG, safety and/or DL would be great too. I know nothing about the centers, but as far as WR I would love to see Pittman. Gabe Davis is intriguing, too, as a Mooney replacement.

Would LOVE to go after OG Robert Hunt, DE Brian Burns and WR Michael Pittman. The big question is if they're gonna hit the market or not. There's a good chance they'll be franchise tagged.
Considering Burns was the other option when we traded for Moore, it wouldn't surprise me at all if the Bears at least look into bringing him in. Sweat and Burns would look mighty nice together!

Tee Higgins would be awesome, but I don't see him getting to free agency. I'll try to keep my list realistic.
- DI JUSTIN MADUBUIKE - guy could be a monster at 3T. He'd be one of the big splashes. - DE Bryce Huff - C Connor Williams - need to a deep dive on his knee and see if he's on schedule to start the season - DE Jonathan Greenard - FS Xavier McKinney - C Lloyd Cushenberry - WR Gabe Davis - WR Tyler Boyd - WR Curtis Samuel - S Jordan Fuller - DE Dorance Armstrong - DE Carl Lawson - WR Noah Brown - WR Rashid Shaheed - WR Greg Dortch - C Andre James - DE Dj Wonnum

I doubt Bears will make big contracts for 2 DE's. I believe Sweat is set to earn $25M next year, so draft other DE is my best guess.

I disagree, when you have both tackles and QB on rookie contracts, you need to spend it on top CB (Johnson) and 2 DEs. Most important positions.

What about getting JABF’s center via FA instead of draft? Conner Williams may be available from the Dolphins.
I would DEFINITELY do this. In fact, I'd buy a C in FA and make the rest of FA all about defense (Chris Jones? Brian Burns?). It looks like there gonna few a few quality centers available. Get one.
I think you want a vet there at C to pair with a rookie QB. You can and should draft another C/G midrounds for depth but do you want to risk throwing a rookie C in there? I don't.
