TE Daniel Brown
LB John Timu
Bears sign WR Allen Robinson to 5 years 70 million/23 guaranteed
It's rumored that the Jacksonville Jaguars won't place the franchise tag Allen Robinson. The details haven't been made clear but it's rumored that Allen Robinson and Blake Bortles have some sort of quarrel. Allen Robinson is only 24 years old and that will be good for a young QB to grow with a young receiver. He is coming off an injury he had ACL surgery back in September but it's hard to find a receiver that hasn't gone through some sort of injury, it's a brutal sport.
Bears sign WR Albert Wilson to 4 year 24 million/12 guaranteed
This move probably makes the most sense Matt Nagy and Albert Wilson were connected at Kansas City with the Chiefs and they seems to work well together.
Bears sign TE Trey Burton to 4 years 28 million/14 guaranteed
He's been rumored to the Chicago Bears from a few sites but I'm not going to believe it until I see it confirmed in writing. The Philadelphia Eagles are packed at tight end with Zach Ertz, Celek, and Trey Burton. Mitchell Trubisky follows the young tight end on Twitter so maybe that is a sign that he will become a future Chicago Bears tight end. Adam Shaheen looked great last year but Matt Nagy relied a lot on the tight end position with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Bears sign OG Zach Fulton to 4 years 24 million/10 guaranteed
Zach Fulton has been a solid starter for the Kansas City Chiefs and has connection to new Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy. He makes a lot of sense for the Bears and since the Bears recently got rid of Pro Bowl Guard Josh Sitton it makes even more sense. It's hard to imagine that Bears got rid of a top talent on the team without a plan to replace him hopefully Zach Fulton to Bears is already a done deal.
Bears sign OLB Junior Galette to 1 year 7 million
If he can stay healthy he can put up double digits sacks and is an elite OLB he's a great candidate for a one year prove it deal. He also played with Akiem Hicks with the Saints.

Broncos: Bradley Chubb DE

Buccaneers: Denzel Ward CB
1[8] Vita Vea DT [Washington] 6'4 347lbs
Marcus Davenport & Tremaine Edmunds are both risky projects that could yield high risk and reward. Bears could choose to go a safer route and get the more polished and experience DT in Vita Vea. He would be a good fit at nose tackle and we could potential rotate him and Eddie Goldman or move Goldman to DE. Eddie Goldman, Vita Vea, and Akiem Hicks is a QB's worst nightmare.
2[39] Kemoko Turay OLB [Rutgers] 6'5 252lbs
Explosive edge defender that can run as fast as most wide receivers. He could be this years Yannick Ngakoue. The media often puts hype on a few guys but miss out some diamonds in the ruff while the guys in the spotlight sometimes doesn't do so good in the pros. Turay really seems to impress at Senior Bowls practices as well.

4. Andre Chachere CB [San Jose State] 6'0 200lbs
Chachere is an athletic outside cornerback with average size and speed and adequate short-area quickness to match routes and challenge throws. His 2016 tape was better than 2017 so how teams weigh those two seasons will be critical. Chachere plays with good intelligence and anticipation and generally handles his job. His issues playing the deep ball mean he needs to run well to prove he has recovery potential. He could be a good value on Day 3 as he has the ability to become an NFL contributor.

4. Brandon Parker OT [NC ATT] 6'7 310lbs
Parker's high center of gravity creates some athletic challenges for him, but he possesses the physical traits that teams are willing to draft and coach up. Despite his college experience, Parker is a bit of a project who will need to continue to work on his technique and core strength before he is ready to handle NFL pass rushers.
-Lance Zierlein
5. Robert Foster [Alabama] 6'2 196lbs
Size and speed prospect with sudden feet to uncover underneath and the burst to get open vertically, but a poor feel for the position. Foster is a much better athlete than receiver and was unable to find snaps until this season because he was behind better football players. He's expected to workout well and may find a spot at the back of a roster or on a practice squad early in his career, but he appears to lack the football instincts and playmaking consistency to stick long-term.
-Lance Zierlein
6. Sam Jones OG [ASU] 6'5 290lbs
Lean, athletic guard who has the quickness to make reach blocks and backside cut-offs on the second level, but is unable to consistently handle the man in front of him. Jones will have to play in a zone-scheme rushing attack to try and mitigate his strength deficiencies, but his issues carrying weight on his frame could haunt him on the next level.
-Lance Zierlein
7. Troy Apke S [Penn State] 6'2 200lbs
Apke's production in key indicators for the position, like ball production and tackle consistency, are lacking. With just one year as a full-time starter, there simply isn't enough impressive tape to get excited about. He has decent size and could put together a solid workout, but may not offer enough range in coverage or thump as a tackler to ever be a full-time contributor. Apke may need to find his niche on special teams to earn any early playing time.
