Updated Mock Drafts
For this post I will look at some of the updated mock drafts for the Chicago Bears.
Here are some of the names of the players that analysists believe the Bears will draft in the first round of this years upcoming draft:
- Ohio State cornerback Eli Apple
- Clemson defensive end Shaq Lawson
- Louisville defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins
- Clemson cornerback Mackensie Alexander
- Oregon defensive end DeForest Buckner
- Michigan State tackle Jack Conklin
- Alabama defensive lineman A’Shawn Robinson
- North Dakota State quarterback Carson Wentz
- Notre Dame tackle Ronnie Stanley
- Alabama defensive tackle Jarran Reed
Its interesting to look at how much these mock drafts can change after free agency. Before the Bears signed Danny Trevathan and Jerrell Freeman most of the mock drafts had the Bears selecting one of two inside linebackers. Obviously, they don't have any more holes to fill at the linebacker position which is why these mock drafts are all over the board.
Here's what I think. GM Ryan Pace has continued to say that they are looking at defense in the first round which makes a lot of sense. Having said this I think the area that the bears have the least depth on defense is in the secondary. My opinion is that they will take Eli Apple with their pick. With Kyle Fuller still in development mode I think it would be smart to add some depth at the cornerback position, where Fuller and Tracy Porter are really the only two options. This draft is deep with defensive linemen so that gives the Bears a chance to add a good defensive linemen in rounds 2 or 3. The only reason I think the Bears might go offense in the first round is if Carson Wentz is still available when they pick. A lot of people have him going in the top five picks but if he falls the Bears should take a chance. This would give Wentz the chance to sit behind Cutler for a couple years while he learns the offense. Hopefully he could develop into the quarterback of the future with the Bears seeing that Cutler is already 33 years old.

More Free Agency News
For this post I will continue my discussion about the free
agents the bears have signed and let go.
Bobby Massie
- This is another very underated pick up for the Bears.
Massie is a proven starter in the NFL at right tackle. As we remember from last
year, Kyle Long had to switch positions from guard to tackle. He struggled very
much with the switch, which is probably why the Bears decided to pull the
trigger on Massie. This move allows Kyle Long to move back to guard where he is
a two time pro-bowler. Consistency is always the most important thing when it
comes to the o-line and I think this move will drastically improve the o-line.
The starting o-line for 2016 looks like Massie, Long, Grasu, Slauson, and Leno.
Leno still has a lot to prove at left tackle but the coaches like both him and
the second-year center Grasu.
Zach Miller
- This move was sort of expected throughout free agency.
Tight end Zach Miller resigned with the Bears on a two year deal. After a huge
breakout year in 2015, Miller looks to become the number one tight end in this
Bears offense. I really dont know what to think about Miller. He seems to be an
above average pass catcher but I think he is still a little shaky in run
blocking. The other reason for concern is that 2015 was really his only year
with any sort of production and his rookie year was 2009. The other side of
this move is the fact that this made the Bears able to trade Martellis Bennett.
Bennett was unhappy with his situation in Chicago and Ryan Pace was able to get
a mid-round draft pick out of the Patriots for him. I never thought Bennett
played to his potential in Chicago but he could have a rebirth in New England
playing alongside Gronk and Tom Brady.

Free Agency News
For this blog post I will be discussing the Bears recent free agent acquisitions.
Danny Trevathan:
- This was by far the biggest signing so far in the Ryan Pace era. Adding Trevathan makes everyone else on the defensive side of the ball a lot better. He is a rock at 6-1, 260 pounds who can cover the middle of the field also. He is coming off a couple of injuries back in 2014 but at 26 years old he should be the center of this Bears defense for a least five or six years. Even though he is only 26 he has a lot of experience playing with a top three defense in Denver last year. Trevathan has expressed that one of his biggest reasons for signing with the Bears is his positive relationship with John Fox.
Jerrell Freeman:
- This was an under the radar move that could end up being one of the best off season moves. I will admit that I didnt know a lot about Freeman before this spring. The Bears and Ryan Pace were able to get a solid starting linebacker without overpaying him. Freeman has been one of the most underrated linebackers in the NFL the last couple years with the Colts. With Freeman and Trevathan, the Bears linebackers are now consider one of the best groups in the league. Just like Trevathan, Freeman cited his relationship with John Fox as one of the main reasons for signing with the Bears. It really helps out a team like the Bears when players will take less to play for a coach they really want to play for.
