Breaking News: Chicago Bears Shock Fans with Perfect Mock Draft
The Chicago Bears are reportedly considering their options between defensive end, offensive tackle, and wide receiver with the ninth pick in the draft, having assumed selected their quarterback with the first pick. According to general manager Ryan Poles, their staff will be divided into three teams to discuss the best course of action.
from the Bears website. We’ll debate what will have a greater short- and long-term impact on our football team. “One team is going to talk about [why] the tackle position is the best to go after, [why] the receiver’s the best, [why] the defensive end’s the best, and use factual information to spit that out.”
Though I might argue that offensive tackle isn’t as much of a need as the other two, I could still support an OT selection if one is selected. Those three positions have some clear blue-chippers who will be available when the Bears go on the clock.
In order to fill in all of Chicago’s needs for my most recent theme mock, I asked fans on Twitter to list the positions that they saw the Bears hoping to target, aside from offensive tackle, defensive end, and wideout.
My rules for this mock are to come away with the positions mentioned most, so aside from the three that the Bears scouts are looking into, and aside from the QB at one, I’ll need to draft a center, guard, defensive tackle, and safety. Since I only had four draft picks and eight positions needed, I had to make a few trades, and these are the ones that I made.
I traded the Broncos’ 12th overall and 76th pick for the Bears’ 9th pick. After that, I sent the Cowboys the 12th for choices 24, 56, and 174. Lastly, I traded selection 76 to the Colts in exchange for picks 82 and 151. Using the NFL Mock Draft Database simulator,
this is the mock draft!
1. Quarterback Caleb Williams | USC: Without a question.
24) Demeioun “Chop” Robinson, EDGE | Penn State: After a few trade-downs, I was lucky to find a quality defensive end that the Bears were in dire need of. Since there isn’t much depth at this position, my plan for this mock was to grab the best player first and then a receiver.
56) Roman Wilson, wide receiver | Michigan: Wilson was selected after all because his value was too great to ignore. Although he is 5’11” and weighs 185 pounds, his 4.39 forty is what makes him stand out.
75) Michael Hall Jr., DT | Ohio State: Hall would find repetitions at the three-technique with the Bears since he is a strong athlete with a quick first step.
82) Patrick Paul, OT | Houston: NFL coaching and a weight room can benefit him because he’s a much better throw blocker than a run blocker. He plays with a high football IQ and has made over 40 starts in college.
122) Christian Mahogany, G | Boston College: He has strength and agility when attacking the ball.
151) Beaux Limmer, C | Arkansas: He spent his senior year at a center, but he has a lot of guard experience.
174) Kitan Oladapo, S | Oregon State: After a few years of late-round swings at safety, the Bears figure to add a thumper like Oladapo if they can acquire a day-three pick by trade.
