OL, WR, W-ILBotf, and FS.
The offense is pretty barren when it comes to OL and WR's outside of a grossly overpaid #2 in Dwayne Bowe who may just be cut even with nobody but a giant question mark in Albert Wilson. There really needs to be a talent infusion on offense with a bottom 5 OL and the worst WR's in the NFL- there's no doubt about it. De'Anthony Thomas may possibly see more of a pass catching role next year, but if anyone thinks he is the solution, well, I got a bridge to sell you. It's not quite the Jamaal Charles show anymore with an up and coming TE in Travis Kelce who really made some noise, but you can only stretch the field horizontally so much in today's NFL- and the OL and WR's are not going to allow much to develop after a short passing game as it stands right now- regardless of the QB or coach.
Granted, Reid's WCO's have generally been biased towards the short game, especially so in the McNabb years, but the ability to go downfield was pretty sapped by the a porous OL and terrible WR's.
Reid worked some real devil magic squeezing out the 12th best offense in terms of points per drive, and a very low turnover rate to boot. One of his better coaching jobs, and I would like to see what Reid and Smith could produce with something resembling competence on the OL and WR's.
To be specific, I would like an excellent route runner with bigtime YAC ability, Justin Hardy comes to mind for me. Lockett and Devin Smith are also guys I would like to see picked after the 1st round. To be specific about the OL, besides the Rodney Hudson (C) FA issue, there are holes at LT, LG, and RT. Eric Fisher has yet to have an offseason where he is able to build up some upper muscle to get into the 325 lbs range instead of the 300 range, so I'll be fine letting him have another year to get it together with his intriguing athleticism. Left Guard needs a makeover, Jeff Allen is coming back from injury, but mediocre over god-awful isn't inspiring really at left guard. RT was also poor, and is in need of a book end to secure the right side of the O-line with Hudson, Fulton, and a RT replacement. There is Donald Stephenson, but the fact he couldn't win his job back from Ryan Harris after a PED suspension is a red flag his prior success was due to PED's, not his actual talent, and it looked like that when he was on the field in 2014.
KC plays a whole crap ton of nickel, so the burden of the ILB's is rather immense; and they failed fantastically this year- allowing a 4.7 YPC mark on the ground. Granted, Derrick Johnson went down with an Achilles, and Mays broke his hand, so the doomsday scenario hit this position since there is little depth there. However, Derrick Johnson, as good as he is, is man over 30 who just blew out his Achilles, his replacement will need to be found soon. Erik Kendricks looks like a guy with the range and instincts to handle the job going forward- and if he is there at 18, don't be surprised to see him picked.
With the latest news of Ron Parker demanding a 5 year 6M AAV contract and KC's cap issues surrounding Justin Houston and Rodney Hudson primarily, it would dubious to retain Parker. That leaves a hole at FS.

The bears need defensive playmakers. They need CBs, Safeties, Linebackers, DEs, DTs, a young RB, QB, and Oline help. The bears need basically everything but WRs, K, and P.
not to mention the fact that even IF Derrick Johnson does come back from his injury he certainly AIN'T getting any younger. Houston will DEFINITELY be a priority to re-sign, and Ron Paker can go play in fast traffic...
as for WR, i personally would like to get someone who has reliable hands and can stretch the field. Bowe dropping passes is a REAL tired act...
