Chicago Bears 2019 Mock Draft: No resting on laurels
By Erik Lambert
5th Round
Northwestern. Montre Hartage . 3. player. 57. . CB
The Bears have two key defensive backs who will be free agents in 2019. One is Bryce Callahan and the other is Adrian Amos. The beauty of drafting somebody like Montre Hartage is he’s capable of replacing either of them. He’s played cornerback for Northwestern, displaying great instinct and ball skills along with a hardnosed approach to tackling. It’s for this reason many believe he could make the switch to safety without any issue.
7th Round
Oklahoma. Rodney Anderson . 4. player. 57. . RB
Sometimes a team has to take a calculated risk if they want to secure a top talent. Rodney Anderson’s career at Oklahoma has been characterized by mostly injury setbacks. However, in 2017 he was nigh unstoppable with 1,442 yards and 18 touchdowns despite only touching the ball 205 times. He has size, power, and speed. The kind of skill set that fits the Nagy offense much better. The big question is whether he can stay healthy.
7th Round (via PHI)
P. Oklahoma State. Zach Sinor . 5. player. 57.
The Bears have lived in punter purgatory for long enough with Pat O’Donnell. He has pretty much reached his ceiling after several years in Chicago. Aside from the occasional great punt, he’s been a whole lot of average. That’s why they decided to grab Zach Sinor. The OK State product has shown steady progress throughout his time in college with 2018 being his best year, averaging a healthy 45.5 yards per punt.
