The Winner Scenario

It may seem overly simple, but there is a certain logic to it. Maybe the solution to solving the Bears’ losing issues is to start drafting players who are not only productive but accustomed to winning. It worked with Tampa Bay who drafted John Lynch (Stanford), Warren Sapp (Miami) and Derrick Brooks (Florida State) to form the core that led them to a championship in 2002.

There is every reason to think the Bears might consider taking Deshaun Watson at #3. For starters he’s a highly productive player who lost just two games in the past two years and beat an undefeated Alabama team for a national championship. People swear by his intelligence and intangibles as a leader. Combine that with a decent arm and elite athleticism and it could definitely make for an NFL starter. To say nothing of the fact Chicago will get a good look at him in the Senior Bowl.. QB. Clemson. Deshaun Watson . 1. player. 57

Carlos Watkins . 2. player. 57. Another member of that loaded Clemson roster. Carlos Watkins often gets lost in the shuffle and that’s a shame. The defensive tackle has really come into his own. he notched 8.5 sacks in 2016 and was an active run defender as well. Given the questionable health status of Eddie Goldman after two injury-plagued seasons, adding Watkins to beef up their front is not a bad decision at all. If Goldman comes around? All the better.. DT. Clemson

Eddie Jackson . 3. player. 57. If the Bears are willing to take a risk, waiting until the 3rd round to grab Eddie Jackson could be the steal of the draft. He was slated to become one of the best in the country this year before an untimely broken leg ended his year. He was the Defensive Player of the Game in the national championship a year ago when Alabama beat Clemson and has seven interceptions with three touchdowns over the past two seasons.. S. Alabama
