DJ Moore is a good start, but Bears must make wide receivers a priority this offseason
Receiver DJ Moore was a great pickup for the Bears, who got him as part of trading the No. 1 overall pick of the draft to the Panthers last spring.
General manager Ryan Poles thought he had completed that part of the roster. Moore would lead a trio that also featured Darnell Mooney and Chase Claypool. All had high potential, were 26 or younger and were on favorable contracts. The Bears hadn’t looked that well-positioned at receiver in years.
That plan unraveled quickly. Now the Bears are down to Moore and not much else, and the lack of production at the position besides him is a grim preview of their future if they don’t make receiver a priority in the offseason.
Moor likely will line up with Tyler Scott, Velus Jones and Equanimeous St. Brown on Sunday against the Packers.
