2020 NFL Draft: Chicago Bears 7-round mock

Fifth Round

The Bears could use a wide receiver to put next to Allen Robinson. It would be nice to add someone in the earlier rounds, but they just have bigger needs. So, they have to hit on one of the underrated options at receiver and since it’s such a deep class it could be easy to find. One of those options is Tyler Johnson.

Johnson has the one skill that a lot of receivers are missing at the next level, he can make people miss. Whether that’s at the line of scrimmage, or in the open field, he is near impossible to hold down. He’s not going to outrun many cornerbacks, but he will outwork them, and that could be just as valuable.

Sixth Round

The Bears could still use a tight end project after signing Graham. There is not a lot of high-end talent at tight end this season, but there is a ton of upside. That could mean some of the options could get overdrafted, or some of those options could last until late rounds because nobody is drafting tight ends. Harrison Bryan is an interesting piece.

Bryant’s value is all over the map. Who knows if he’s going to be available here, but with tight ends all over the map right now, we think this very talented tight end might fall. He could go in the second round, or he could go in the seventh round.

It would be kind of ironic for the Bears to use the sixth-round pick that they got when they traded Jordan Howard to the Philadelphia Eagles. Patrick Taylor Jr. was the less of the two Memphis Tigers running backs, but still skilled nonetheless. Antonio Gibson was just really good. His biggest problem is he doesn’t use his size to his advantage. That’s literally the opposite problem that Tarik Cohen has. If the Bears can guide Taylor into the right situation, then he can be a nice NFL player.

The Bears could really use some depth at safety behind Eddie Jackson. Shyheim Carter finally got a chance to play for Alabama this season. He’s a flawed player, thus why someone in the Alabama secondary is going in the seventh round, but he definitely has a lot of talent to like.

Carter played a safety-cornerback hybrid position during his senior season. He could transition that into a slot corner position or a nickel safety position. Either way, his position can be used as versatility. He’s going to play a lot of special teams at first, so playing those different positions will help when he has to play on all different units.

The Bears could use a little depth on the defensive line, despite pass rusher being their strongest position. Still, D.J. Wonnum could be a high-upside pick in the seventh round. His great performance at the combine is going to help him get drafted.

Wonnum was ninth in South Carolina history with 29.5 tackles for loss. He’s been playing in just about every game since his freshman year, besides an injury-riddled junior year. We think after a solid senior year, bringing him in right off the bat is worth it to see how great he can become as one of the last picks in the draft.
