Updated look at Bears' WR depth chart after trade for Harry originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago
The Bears made a no-lose bet on talent Tuesday, acquiring former first-round pick N'Keal Harry from the New England Patriots for a seventh-round pick in 2024.
Harry, the No. 32 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, joins a lackluster wide receiver corps that still has to figure out what it looks like after No. 1 receiver Darnell Mooney.
Harry is the latest low-risk offseason addition for general manager Ryan Poles. He signed Byron Pringle and Equanimeous St. Brown to one-year, prove-it contracts early in the offseason, and he made a similar bet on talent by adding former second-round pick Dante Pettis in May.
With training camp two weeks away, here's an updated look at the Bears' wide receiver depth chart:
-- Darnell Mooney
-- Byron Pringle
-- Equanimeous St. Brown
-- Velus Jones Jr.
-- N'Keal Harry
-- Dante Pettis
-- Tajae Sharpe
-- Dazz Newsome
-- David Moore
-- Kevin Shaa
-- Nsimba Webster
-- Chris Finke
-- Isaiah Coulter

Mooney will be the Bears' unquestioned No. 1 wide receiver, while Jones Jr. has a chance to be an X-factor for the offense in his rookie season.
Everything else remains unsolved as we prepare for training camp.
