The Chicago Bears pretty much know where their window sits in the draft next year. It will sit somewhere between the 3rd and 7th slots in the top 10.

At that point it becomes a matter of figuring out what their priorities are likely to be. Rest assured GM Ryan Pace has plenty of work to do before this roster is ready to wage an assault against the elite of the NFC. It’s about figuring out the biggest weaknesses and trying to turn them into strengths. If that’s the course to take, coupled with that Best Player Available mantra, then this mock selection of the top four rounds covers most of the problem areas.

1st Round

player. 57. The Chicago Bears need a better secondary. No, seriously. It’s gotten to a point where this defense has a chance to be great but are being held back by their rather weak situation at cornerback and safety. There isn’t a single starter on their roster who isn’t replaceable at this point. If there was one position though that keeps causing them pain, it’s their safeties. One could say it’s now been a decade since they had a legitimate playmaker on the back end. <p>As the draft draws closer, the name that is rising up boards is Jamal Adams. He has put together an impressive career at LSU, showcasing his versatility as both a run defender and in coverage. He’s especially adept at sniffing out what an offense will do before the snap and making a play to blow it up at the line of scrimmage. He can tackle, hit and blitz equally well. Best of all he would give the Bears another body on the field who can cover a tight end.</p>. S. LSU. Jamal Adams . 1
