Chicago Bears: 5 Quick 2017 Mock Draft Scenarios
By Erik Lambert
The Offensive Scenario
Sure the defense not having an adequate secondary was a big problem but in truth scoring just 17 points per game makes it difficult to win in the NFL. The Bears need to improve their offensive firepower. Two positions in particular stick out above the rest.
Mitch Trubisky . 1. player. 57. The Bears don’t have an answer at the quarterback position. All they have are three guys in Jay Cutler, Brian Hoyer and Matt Barkley who took turns proving they aren’t good enough to get this team where it needs to go. Mitch Trubisky is the most complete prospect of the top quarterbacks in this draft. He’s big, strong, plays the position with sharp understanding, throws accurately and does a solid job of protecting the football.. QB. North Carolina
2. player. 57. Who does Chicago have at tight end that defenses stop and say, “We need to make sure this guy doesn’t beat us.” Nobody. Zach Miller was the closest but he is injury-prone and turns 32 this year. It’s time for a renewed investment at that position. David Njoku is just the ticket. This big kid out of Miami is a two-way threat. Strong enough to block but also an athlete with speed. He understands how to get open and even better can make plays after the catch.. TE. Miami Fl.. David Njoku
BYU. Kai Nacua . 3. player. 57. Safety is in such a state where the Bears would be crazy to not use at least one of their top three picks at that position. Somebody with ball skills would do so much to help them on the back end. Kai Nacua doesn’t get the same press as a Hooker, Adams or Peppers because he plays at BYU. Nevertheless he’s developed quite the ballhawk reputation. At 6’2″, 215 lbs he has corralled 12 interceptions in his past two seasons for the Cougars.. S
