31. Chicago Bears (29)

Matt Nagy is the new head coach for the Chicago Bears and there’s a lot of pressure on him to succeed. He’s taking over a franchise that has a top running back in Jordan Howard and a No. 2 overall pick under center in Mitchell Trubisky. So far, it’s been looking rough.

Trubisky was taken down in the end zone for a safety after a bad snap and he also threw an interception against the Denver Broncos in an ugly loss. Trubisky did, however, hook up with new tight end Trey Burton for a touchdown, which could end up being a good pairing there for the young franchise.

However, they still have so many questions. Trubisky is still incredibly raw after only one season starting in college and not playing all year in 2017. On defense, there are some questions as well. After Denver looked lost and confused on offense in Week 1 against Minnesota, they seemed to have their way with the Bears.

This team still needs an identity and Nagy hopes to bring that for them. He’s a respected offensive mind and has some weapons like Burton and receivers Allen Robinson and Anthony Miller. He just has to find a way to turn Trubisky into what they hoped they were getting at No. 2 last year.
