I know it won't be a popular opinion, but I think they'll be OK just adding one - at least early in the draft.  I think Gipson and Robinson will be fine with a sturdier interior of the D-line.  If the DTs offer ZERO pass rush threat, then non-elite DEs will have trouble   I might move Justin Jones to DE and look for some more beef inside.

Like the NBA you got to be able to make your own shot - Gipson and Robinson couldn't do that last year.  Robinson was a rookie so there's hope but Gipson in my opinion was one of the biggest disappointments of the season.  Gipson is still only 26 and coming into a contract year so there's still some hope.

But the addition of journeyman part time starTer DeMarcus Walker and run stopping Andrew Billings isn't nearly enough.  Bears can manipulate the draft so they can get a really good RT and 2 d-lineman with their 3 picks in R1/R2.  After that I still go D-line and corner with 2 of the 3 next picks.
