Yes. Acquiring Walker fills the Bears’ most pressing need on defense. Having lost several defensive tackles during the offseason, most notably Tank Johnson, the Bears needed a strong interior player to dominate the middle. Walker not only gives them a big body to occupy double teams against the run, but he gives them one of the game’s best interior pass rushers. Walker is coming off a six-sack season and has 27.5 sacks in his career. With Adewale Ogunleye, Tommie Harris, Mark Anderson or Alex Brown also patrolling the line, the Bears are assured of getting favorable one-on-one matchups in pass-rush situations.
