What drafting Georgia WR Riley Ridley proves about the 2019 Bears

Did the Bears need another wide receiver? Not really.

But after addressing running back by trading up and drafting David Montgomery in the third round on Friday, did the Bears really have any other truly glaring needs?

An argument could be made for a few positions: Tight end, edge rusher, cornerback and safety all come to mind. But whoever else the Bears were going to draft after landing Montgomery was always going to be a depth piece, one or two spots removed from the top of the depth chart. So why not take the best player available?
