Chicago Bears Four-Round 2017 NFL Mock Draft

4. player. 57. When the Bears lost Zach Miller to a season-ending foot injury, people got a glimpse of just how thin the team is at the tight end position. It forced them to play Logan Paulsen far more than they’ve wanted (or should). The absence of a pass catcher at that position is noticeable every Sunday and could be a big reason they can’t score more points. Even if Miller returns, it’s smart policy for the team to grab more help in the draft. <p>Gerald Everett won’t be a big name on boards due to the sheer volume of quality players, but he belongs in the conversation. A good athlete who shows a feel for finding the dead spots in coverage and getting himself open. He’s got speed to create separation and a strong pair of hands to make those tough catches in contested situations. If he can add some bulk to improve his blocking, this could be a tremendous player.</p>. TE. South Alabama. Gerald Everett
