Six games remain before the Chicago Bears know their final positioning but the latest indicators are they will have strong position in the NFL draft.

There is any number of ways they could go based on their current positioning. Sitting in the top 5 means they can either get a premium prospect such as a quarterback or they could move down in order to acquire more picks. Thanks to another beneficial positioning with the Tennessee Titans, who have multiple picks in each of the first three rounds, this opens the door for the latter.

1st Round (via TEN)

The Chicago Bears know they’ve got something cooking on defense. Vic Fangio has a strong scheme in place. Leonard Floyd, Pernell McPhee, Danny Trevathan and Eddie Goldman look like strong pieces moving forward. If this team can add two or three more, then this unit has a chance to become one of the best in the NFL. All things being equal there is nothing that accelerates the process better than a dynamic pass rush. <p>Derek Barnett continues to be the Little Engine That Could for Tennessee. Only there’s nothing “little” about him. Despite playing for a rather mediocre program he’s one of the most consistently effective pass rushers in college football. Every week he seems to get a sack without fail. He’s strong with good length, can bend and shows violent hands that enable him to keep blockers off his body. Put him across from Floyd and the Bears could be set up for years to come.</p>. DE. Tennessee. Derek Barnett . 1. player. 57
