The Chicago Bears have a chance to really give their young roster a boost in 2017. Provided they get it right. Does this late NFL mock draft reflect it?

A few things to keep in mind. Everybody knows what the primary needs are, but needs can’t always be met through the draft. Better players might be available at given times. The crop of college prospects might be weak at those positions. Or free agency could’ve filled certain holes. At the end of the days it’s key to remember the draft is about acquiring the best possible talent that can help turn the Bears into a contender.
