Chicago Bears 2017 NFL Mock Draft: Defensive Overdrive

Virginia Tech. Isaiah Ford . 3. player. 57. Adding a tight end is nice but the Bears will still need more help at wide receiver. Even if Jeffery stays. Kevin White remains an unknown quantity due to his injury problems. Cameron Meredith is intriguing but far from a sure thing just yet. Josh Bellamy drops way too many footballs. Beyond them there isn’t much to get excited about. The job of every team when bringing in a new quarterback is to provide as many weapons as possible. <p>Teams often get so caught up in the measurable things of size and timed speeds that they don’t recognize what often makes a really good receiver. It’s the ones who get open all the time, regardless of competition. Isaiah Ford showed at Virginia Tech he’s that kind of wide receiver. Not only is he a decent 6’2″ in size but he runs solid route and accents it with considerable deep speed. If he adds more strength to his lanky frame, he’ll be even more dangerous.</p>. WR
