What are your thoughts on this three-round mock draft for the Bears?
Most Chicago Bears mock drafts are similar in that they have the Bears addressing the trenches early, and the latest from NFL.com’s Chad Reuter does just that. His mock goes a full three rounds, and he has the Bears addressing needs while staying true to the value of the board.
Our lead draft analyst, Jacob Infante, chimed in about Reuter’s mock earlier today, saying, “That would be an A+ draft in real life. I’d be ecstatic,” so what do you guys think about this one?
10 - Will Campbell - LSU · OT · Junior
Chicago lands a legitimate starting left tackle to protect Caleb Williams and move defenders in the run game. He’ll be the best player they’ve had at that spot since Jimbo Covert, the sixth overall pick of the 1983 NFL Draft.
Some scouts feel Campbell would have to move to guard in the NFL due to arm length, but I’d like to see him given a chance to stay at tackle. His experience (31 starts at LT), athleticism, and technique make him a likely day-one contributor, even if he does need to play left guard as a rookie.
39 - Mike Green - Marshall · Edge · Junior (RS)
He led the nation with 17 sacks in Conference USA, but his performance at the Senior Bowl put teams on notice.
41 - Donovan Jackson - Ohio State · OG · Senior
The Bears’ o-line depth needs talent, so double dipping works for me. Jackson has the size and athleticism to fit whatever Chicago’s new offense would want.
72 - Kaleb Johnson - Iowa · RB · Junior
Johnson has decent speed through the hole and can break arm tackles, and Jacob tells me this is a deep running back class, so grabbing one in the third round makes sense.
Check out Reuter’s mock, and let us know if this is how you’d pick it if the actual draft fell this way.
