Last year's last-place team already had more talent in place than many of us appear to accept.
After starting the season with a 19-10 victory over the 49ers -- who ended their season in the NFC title game -- and then climbing to 2-1 with a 23-20 win over the Texans two weeks later, the Bears lost three close games to the Giants, Vikings and the Commanders before clobbering the Patriots 33-14 in New England.
It does, however, suggest while they did have the worst record in the NFL, they may not have been the worst team or least talented.But who are those players and what are the odds they will make a difference? Obviously, defensive end DeMarcus Walker, linebackers Tremaine Edmunds and T.J. Edwards, guard Nate Davis and running back D'Onta Foreman are all young and relatively accomplished veteran free agents. The first three were brought in to help fix the NFL's worst run defense and improve the league's worst pass rush by bringing pressure themselves from the inside and freeing up some of last year's youngsters, who struggled while still learning on the job.
With the addition of wide receiver D.J. Moore and all the improvement made on the offensive line -- if they are the right guys -- Fields, Kmet and Claypool could make their breakouts this season. Scouts rave about Jones' tools to take another step this season and perhaps even become special. And, this season provides make-it-or-break-it incentive for Jenkins.
