Chicago Bears full 2020 NFL mock draft

Round 5

To say our friends over at Da Windy City love Gordon is probably putting it mildly. Mitch Trubisky is not even certain to be back on his fifth-year option, and Nick Foles is hardly the answer, so the Bears have to try to unearth a young quarterback.

Gordon is the latest creation from Mike Leach’s quarterback lab, which is not the knock to his NFL future it once was as spread concepts have infiltrated the league. Last year, Gordon led FBS in pass attempts (689), and finished top-five in passing touchdowns (48; second), yards (5,579; second) and completion rate (71.9 percent; fourth).

With just one season as a college starter on his resume (14 total starts), Gordon will need to sit and develop as a rookie. The Bears don’t have to rush him onto the field, as they did with Trubisky when Mike Glennon further proved he didn’t have it.

Round 6

Robinson was a prominent part of Tulsa’s secondary right from the start, starting seven games as a redshirt freshman in 2016, starting 11 of 12 contests in 2017 and earning first-team All-AAC honors last year. An injury limited him to eight games in 2018.

Robinson has good size (6-foot-1, 205 pounds), and he answered the speed question with a 4.44 40 at the NFL Combine. He may also fit as a safety in the NFL, and that versatility is something the Bears should target and value.

Jennings had a nice final season at Tennessee (59 receptions for 969 yards and eight touchdowns; 16.4 yards per catch). He stands out for his size (6-foot-3, 215 pounds), which he uses effectively at the catch point and after the catch. He also gets good marks for his blocking.

But Jennings is not a vertical threat, and that was proven out via his time speed at the NFL Combine (4.72 40-yard dash). His ability after the catch is rooted in power, not wiggle or elusiveness.

The Bears have a unique set of offensive weapons for Matt Nagy to deploy, if they could just get the quarterback right. Jennings would be a nice edition to that skill position mix, as a big target for whoever is under center in 2020 and beyond.

Round 7

Simply put, Onwenu is a massive man (6-foot-3, 344 pounds, 34 and 3/8 inch arms, 10 and 1/2″ hands). He started out at Michigan playing both offensive and defensive line, before settling on the offensive side as sophomore in 2017 then becoming the starter at right guard in his last two seasons.

The retirement of Kyle Long leaves the Bears in need of a right guard. Free agent signing Germain Ifedi is expected to kick inside to fill that void, but Onwenu would certainly be a nice depth option and a push to start right away can’t be ruled out.

A torn ACL followed by a bulging disc in his back derailed the 2017 and 2018 seasons for Adams, but he returned fully healthy last year and earned first-team All-Pac 12 honors. But those injuries clearly depleted him physically, and an abysmal showing at the NFL Combine (including a reported lewd comment about something he wished he had) has pushed his draft stock down toward UDFA territory.

But this is the point in the draft where all bets are off, and there are no real risks. If Adams can get himself on a better track, he could find a way to stick as an NFL left tackle. NFL.com’s comp for him, for better or what would quickly become worse, is Matt Kalil.
