Chicago Bears 2017 NFL Mock Draft: Version 2.0
By Jon Dove
The Chicago Bears have a lot of holes to fill and this Chicago Bears 2017 NFL Mock Draft starts that process.
This version of the Chicago Bears 2017 NFL Mock Draft aims to address some of the biggest roster needs. Chicago has several spots on the roster that need a major upgrade. Luckily, they are trending towards having a top-5 pick in the 2017 NFL Draft.
On the negative side, the Bears are unlikely to find a quarterback worthy of selecting with their 1st round pick. It would make more sense for them to wait until later in the draft to address the quarterback position.
There are several high-upside quarterback prospect that should be available in the middle rounds.
They will likely need to focus on addressing some needs on the defensive side of the ball. Top top-5 players on my Big Board are defensive players. My highest rated offensive player is Clemson’s Mike Williams.
He’d be an intriguing option if the Bears win a few games down the stretch and slip outside of the top-5 picks. Williams is an explosive receiver who uses his size and speed to make plays deep down field. His playmaking ability would address a major need for the Bears.
