INDIANAPOLIS — The conversation about how fortuitous it is to be the Bears right now usually centers on them holding the No. 1 pick in the draft and the chance to land USC star quarterback Caleb Williams.
But that No. 9 pick is pretty good, too, and they could use it to solve their next most significant deficiency by drafting a pass rusher. They had the fewest sacks in the NFL over the last two seasons, and trying to run an excellent defense without a fierce pass rush is nearly as difficult as trying to ignite the offense without a top quarterback.
