8. Chicago Bears (via TB)

8. player. 57. With the top two quarterbacks and the best player all off the board, the Chicago Bears are forced to make a decision. Do they just go with the best player available or try moving back to stockpile more picks? GM Ryan Pace chooses the latter. While Chicago is headed in the right direction, they have a series of depth problems across their roster. Extra picks would go a long way towards improving that problem. Besides, this draft is strong at positions of need. <p>Having Teez Tabor still available after two moves down is a perfect example. Chicago is really hurting at the cornerback spot. They could use a man with the capability to lock down any receiver he lines up against. Tabor is that kind of athlete. He is a good-sized, smooth corner with fluid movement and enough speed to hang with receivers deep. He plays with swagger, a short memory and keen instincts too. Put him under Vic Fangio and it will be big for that Bears defense.</p>. CB. Florida. Teez Tabor
