Chicago Bears 2017 NFL Mock Draft: Stockpiling Picks

57. It’s no secret the Bears desperately need safety help. Like really bad. Fans can’t stomach the idea of another year with guys like Adrian Amos and Harold Jones-Quartey. Good new for them is this draft class appears absolutely stacked at the position. Potential starters may exist well into the middle rounds. That means Pace would have the chance to find his team an answer in the 2nd if he chose to wait. Don’t forget Mike Brown was chosen in that same round. <p>Look up the phrase “physical freak of nature” in a dictionary and it’s like a picture of Obi Melifonwu is close by. The UConn senior wowed evaluators at the Senior Bowl right off the bat when he measured 6’4″, 200+ lbs. That wasn’t the end of it though. The kid is an excellent athlete, showing the range and instincts to react before plays are often able to develop. Put such an athlete under the direction of Vic Fangio and his staff? The sky is the limit.</p>. S. UConn. Obi Melifonwu . 2. player
