5th round
Part of Trubisky’s (or Foles’) success next season will rely on the protection he gets from the offensive line. Chicago has a clear need at guard and addresses it with Kentucky’s Logan Stenberg in round five.
The former Wildcat is a mauler on the inside who helped to open up plenty of running lanes for Kentucky backs over the last three seasons. I could see Stenberg challenging to start at right guard on day one of his rookie year.
6th round
Eddie Jackson is currently the only Bears safety on the payroll after next season. Here, Chicago picks up some much-needed depth at the position with talented former Terrapin Antoine Brooks, Jr.
Cornerback will be a consideration in round two but, again, I expect the focus to be offense-heavy. UCF’s Nevelle Clark is one Day 3 prospect at cornerback who could interest the team at this spot.
7th round
My first punter of the mock season! Burn me at the stake!
A quarterback! From James Madison? Is it possible to burn me twice at the stake?
