QB is #1.   Now that could be either through the draft, trade or free agency.

After that, it's WR, IF A-Rob walks.  If he's retained, Bears need an offensive tackle.  It's going to be tough to replace Leno at LT, so it might be a RT that might eventually slide to LT.

Defensively, SS stands out.  Its a big need since we don't have one.  However, it doesn't need to be addressed with a top pick.  Maybe a 5th rounder coupled with a FA.  Maybe bring back Gipson.

A corner would be nice.  May be one that could replace Skrine and eventually replace Fuller.  I liked what I saw in Vildor, not as much with Shelley.  But both are young.

Quinn is going to be back because of his cap.  And we'll get to see more of the other Gipson.  We've got so much money invested in OLB, but that's the most important position on defense.

Teams typically don't spend high draft picks on 3-4 ILBs.  We need to find one somehow to replace Trevathan...possibly.  He's good on running downs but can be exposed on passing downs.

3-4 lineman.  Jenkins, Robertson-Harris and Urban are FAs - they will need to be replaced.  Hicks, goldman and Nichols return.
