4th Round (via BUF)

57. How much would this be considered fate? The Bears already struck gold with a former castoff from the deceased University of Alabama-Birmingham program in Jordan Howard. Could lightning strike twice? It may feel that way if they end up adding Gerald Everett. He too spent a year there before being forced to transfer to South Alabama. There he has become a consistent big target in their passing game, showing off a good mix of size, speed and hands. <p>Chicago is comfortable with veteran Zach Miller as their primary tight end, but he’s getting into his 30s now. They can’t trust he’ll be in peak form much longer. The depth behind him at this point is bad. There are no proven commodities on the roster, young or old. That is why this pick was inevitable. Everett will be able to slide into the #2 spot, learn behind Miller and hopefully become their main guy in a year or two.</p>. TE. South Alabama. Gerald Everett . 6. player
