Chicago Bears 2017 NFL Mock Draft: Stockpiling Picks

Ole Miss. Evan Engram . 2. player. 57. Right up there with safety in terms of positional need is tight end. When the Bears offense was at its best the past couple years, it was because they had a tight end like Martellus Bennett or Zach Miller who were legitimate threats in the receiving game. Now Bennett is gone and Miller is coming off another season-ending foot injury. This team sorely needs a young weapon at that position for Mahomes to grow with. <p>Getting Evan Engram with this pick is a huge bonus. Throughout the past year scouts and draft analysts have kept comparing the Ole Miss product to Redskins Pro Bowler Jordan Reed. The two share almost exact similarities in terms of size, speed, athleticism and receiving ability. Engram is undoubtedly a mismatch for any linebackers or safeties who try to cover him. Though he may never be a great blocker, he’ll make up for it with plenty of big plays as a receiver.</p>. TE
