Chicago Bears

1st Round, No. 6 overall- Jamal Adams, S, LSU

2nd Round, No. 38 overall- Tre’Davious White, CB, LSU

3rd Round, No. 70 overall- Brad Kaaya, QB, Miami

The Chicago Bears need to upgrade the quarterback position, but would have to reach in order to address this need in the 1st round. They’d be better served focusing on adding one of the top defensive prospects like LSU’s Jamal Adams.

Chicago’s secondary has been a complete mess the entire season. The safety position has been a revolving door with the likes of Adrian Amos, Harold Jones-Quartey, Deon Bush and Chris Prosinski seeing action.

Adams is an in-the-box safety who also possesses the athleticism to play the deep middle. He’d give the Bears an elite talent in their secondary.

In the 2nd round, the Bears could dip back into the LSU well and grab a veteran like Tre’Davious White. He is an experienced cornerback who features the size and athleticism needed to be successful in the NFL.

White is a 1st round talent who could slip a little on draft day due to the fact that there’s a ton of depth at the position. Adding both White and Adams would give Chicago two rookies capable of becoming immediate starters.

Brad Kaaya is solid quarterback prospect who actually has experience working in a pro-style offense. However, he comes with some question marks including his overall arm strength.
