10. Chicago Bears (via BUF)

57. The Bears are in an awkward spot. They would like to start fresh at the quarterback position as GM Ryan Pace has said a number of times. The problem is they may not have the luxury of time on their side anymore. After two rough seasons patience is starting to wear thin for Chicago. What they really could use is somebody with experience. Luckily the Bills made Tyrod Taylor available, so the two teams work out a deal. <p>Moving back to #10, it is prime territory for the Bears to upgrade their razor thin tight end position. O.J. Howard has been wowing evaluators for over a year. It started with his epic performance in the 2015 national championship when he roasted Clemson for over 200 yards. It’s continued since then. He’s the total package: big, fast, athletic, strong, a good blocker and have the soft hands to make catches look routine.</p>. TE. Alabama. O.J. Howard . 10. player
