The Bears have Sam Mustipher under exclusive-rights free agent control this offseason, but with the 25-year-old struggles this year, they may be in the market for a replacement after the season.
By all accounts, Mustipher is an intelligent player whose football IQ shows up in his ability to communicate adjustments at the line of scrimmage, and he is able to pitch in with double-teams well. That said, his struggles in one-on-one situations are glaring, and his physical upside appears limited.
With no picks in Rounds 1 or 5 as it currently stands, the Bears are in a position where they have a few glaring needs but not enough draft capital to address all of them.
