The Bears' pass-rushing woes persist, and the team's recent draft choices and free-agent signings raise questions about their strategy. With a need for a pass rusher, the Bears' decision not to select one in the first round is intriguing, especially considering their defensive coordinator's preference for a specific type of player. The team's evaluation of Dayo Odeyingbo and Austin Booker, both of whom missed significant time due to injuries, highlights the challenges they face. The Bears' pursuit of Maxx Crosby, an established EDGE player, suggests a willingness to address the issue, but the deal did not materialize. The team's focus on other positions, such as safety and defensive tackle, indicates a potential shift in strategy, but the lack of a pass rusher remains a concern. The Bears' interest in cornerback Colton Hood and the team's belief that they got a steal in safety Dillon Thieneman and defensive tackle Jordan van den Berg further underscores the complexity of their decision-making process. The team's ability to address their pass-rushing needs in the future remains to be seen, but the current situation raises questions about their long-term strategy.
