Chicago Bears 4-Round 2017 Mock Draft: Wheel and Deal
By Erik Lambert
The Chicago Bears could end up with their highest pick in a draft since 1972 depending on the outcome of the game in Minnesota in Week 17.
That undoubtedly will make this coming April the most important month in a long time for the franchise. Fans have long since reached their breaking point with the lack of direction this team seems to have and the constant disappointment of losing. If they can hit this draft with the same success as they did in 2016, there is a chance things could change in a big way.
1st Round (via NYJ)
LSU. Jamal Adams . 1. player. 57. Anybody who has watched the Chicago Bears for even one or two games this season has seen it. It’s impossible to miss. Their secondary is a mess. Both the cornerback and safety positions are made up of late round picks, undrafted free agents and castoff veterans. Not a single high-end talent in the bunch aside from former 1st round pick Kyle Fuller who hasn’t played all year due to a knee injury. It’s hard to win in the NFL with bargains on the back end. <p>Following a trade with the Jets to drop down to #6, GM Ryan Pace sets about correcting the problem. Jabrill Peppers gets a ton of hype but many people are coming around to the truth. Jamal Adams is the best safety in this draft class. He’s got a skill set that the best ones are made out of: big, strong, tough, athletic and faster than he gets credit for. Most of his plays are made with instinct and violence in the box but it will be his ability to cover tight ends the Bears will covet most.</p>. S
