The Reese’s Senior Bowl is a major opportunity for the top seniors of the draft class to showcase their talents against each other.

The playing field is much more leveled at the Senior Bowl. Prospects will be facing off against some of the best talents in the class and being coached to perform NFL translatable skills by NFL coaches.

There are many prospects at this event that the Chicago Bears could target

Now, there may not be anyone the Bears will be targeting at number 1 overall at this event but this is where they will find their mid-round starters/depth.

Seeing what the Bears will do with the number 1 pick will be the focus of the offseason but if this regime wants to turn this thing around as fast as they say they do. They need to nail all aspects of this draft.

That’s why they should use the Senior Bowl to answer some questions about these guys because I know I have a few.
