On Thursday, they had a player fall into their lap at 25, and we all rejoiced! But then yesterday, they seemed to reach for three players ahead of the consensus, none of whom played defense. A center, tight end, and wide receiver seemed more like a Saturday haul, but the Bears grabbed those three positions for Ben Johnson’s offense in the second and third rounds. The Bears have four picks today: 129 (4th Round), 144 (5th Round), 239 (7th Round), and 241 (7th Round) Check out the SB Nation big board for the full remaining list of their Top 100, but here are the positions that make the most sense.
