Chicago Bears Q&A: Why are cornerback and receiver seen as bigger priorities than the offensive line? How can Ryan Pace and Matt Nagy put their faith in Andy Dalton? Plus, several questions on the draft strategy.

I understand questioning such a massive trade proposal, especially considering the team is coming off two consecutive years without first-round picks because of the September 2018 trade for Khalil Mack. The Bears would have to carve out a significant chunk of salary-cap space to add Wilson and that could create some holes on the roster beyond the current needs at cornerback, strong safety, wide receiver and so on. Wilson is an elite talent and the Bears would be banking on the idea that his presence does a lot more than make up for deficiencies elsewhere on the roster. They look at him as the kind of player that, with a lot of the same core in place, can help an 8-8 team go 10-7 or 11-6. Coach Matt Nagy uses the term “multiplier” when referring to special players, meaning the kind of guy that will instantly elevate the play of those around him. The thinking is with Wilson, the offensive line will all of a sudden look better, the receivers will instantly be more productive and the defense, well, it will not have to be so good on a week-in, week-out basis if the offense is scoring more. That’s the thinking behind adding Wilson. Getting him would create a new set of challenges for the team, no question about that, but the Bears would invite those issues after going so long without an elite quarterback.
