4th Round- Cooper Kupp, WR, Eastern Washington

Cooper Kupp is a slot receiver who has had an excellent college career. He  has good size for a slot receiver and does a good job using it to his advantage. Kupp also has good long-speed which allows him to attack the deep part of the field.

Chicago needs explosive playmakers like Kupp on the roster. He has the top-end speed the Bears must add in order to kick this offense into gear.

4th Round (via Buffalo )- Chad Kelly, QB, Ole Miss

Chad Kelly has the physical tools to be a successful NFL quarterback. However, he has some maturity questions that will likely push him down the draft. Kelly is also dealing with an ACL tear that could keep him out of early offseason workouts.

The Bears are likely to move on from Jay Cutler in the offseason and need a long-term replacement. Kelly is a bit of a gamble, but has enough talent to realistically develop into a franchise quarterback.

He’d benefit from working with a veteran like Brian Hoyer who is expected back next season. Hoyer as already shown that he can put his ego aside and help mentor a young quarterback.
