Chicago Bears 2017 NFL Mock Draft: Plugging The Gaps

player. 57. The Bears are far from secure at wide receiver as this year has shown. Alshon Jeffery could be gone next off-season. Eddie Royal will likely be cut. Kevin White is an injury risk with little proven production. Beyond them is an assortment of names who flash talent but can’t catch the football with any sort of consistency. They have 15 dropped passes just in the past three games. This team needs a reliable target. <p>One player who has been red hot of late is Curtis Samuel. He’s among those need Antonio Brown/Percy Harvin type of wide receivers. They won’t impress with their size but the agility, speed and sudden quickness make them lethal at creating separation. Every time he touches the football it seems like he getting a big gain out of it. He just makes plays. Receivers of his type seem to function well in the offense the Bears run, so it’s a good fit.</p>. WR. Ohio State. Curtis Samuel . 3
