player. 57. As yet the transition is ongoing for the Bears at tight end.  Martellus Bennett is gone and it looks like they plan to role with Zach Miller as the primary starter in 2016.  That is living dangerously though.  Miller is 31-years old and before last year had not been able to play a single regular season game since 2011 due to a litany of injury problems.  Draft help at that position is almost a must. <p> </p> <p>Jerell Adams of the South Carolina has become one of the more intriguing names in the class.  Not proven in terms of production, he nonetheless flashed several times both as a blocker and as a receiver.  He’s a good athlete with considerable speed, at a 6’5″ frame with 34-inch arms to go up and get the football.  It will take some time for him to add strength and work on his catching consistency (suffered from drop problems) but the upside on him is perhaps greater than most in the draft.</p>. TE. South Carolina. Jerell Adams . 106
