Chicago Bears: Complete 7-round mock draft

The Chicago Bears have many needs, but who will they choose in the 2016 NFL Draft?

When the Chicago Bears began the season 0-3, it seemed as if a win would next to impossible for this team throughout the season. Two of the first three losses had ended in blowout fashion and Chicago was outscored 105-46 heading into Week 4.

Plenty of positions still need to be upgraded despite the team’s boost in recent weeks as Chicago has gone 5-5 in its past 10 games. That’s not playoff-worthy, by any means, but the Bears are starting to look more like a contender in the past 10 weeks than they had in the first three games.

Chicago ranks near the bottom of the league in most major offensive and defensive categories and many people now realize that the real problem in the Windy City might not be just one particular player, such as Jay Cutler, but a lack of depth at a few positions such as cornerback, defensive line and wide receiver.

Sure, Jay Cutler might need to be on his way out of Chicago because the team hasn’t gotten any better with him at quarterback, but that transition isn’t going to happen immediately. Quarterback is a need in the upcoming draft, but Cutler will likely be around for a few more years unless a team is willing to trade for him and take on his monster contract.

Let’s take a look at who the Chicago Bears should be drafting based on need and best available based on prospect’s projected draft round.
