Draft
* Trade: Washington Redskins trade 1[13],2[44] and 2019 first round pick for Bears 1[8]
1[13] OLB Marcus Davenport [UTSA] 6'6 250lbs
Packers will be eyeing a OLB at 14 and I don't want to face this big LB chasing down Mitchell Trubisky on Sundays and the feeling of disapointment from Packers fans when they see Davenport picked at 13 would make it worth while.
2[39] OG Isaiah Wynn [Georgia] 6'2 300lbs
Wynn is a talented, technically sound block-winner with a demeanor that offensive line coaches will love. His athleticism allows for quick advantages as a run blocker while his hand strength and footwork helps him sustain those advantages into open running lanes. His plus pass protection will be appealing to teams looking for help in that area and he is capable of sliding out to tackle in an emergency. He appears to have the technique and play traits to overcome any concerns about size and could become an early starter.
-Lance Zierlein
2[44] OT Jamarco Jones [Ohio State] 6'5 310lbs
Recruited from Chicago.
"He has holes like they all do but I think he's safer than Mike McGlinchey as a pro. Ohio State's scheme doesn't give you as many pro-style looks as Notre Dame, but I think he'll fit in well as a pro." -- NFC team area scout
4. WR Marcell Ateman [Oklahoma State] 6'4 220lbs
Long target with good size and functional speed. Ateman played in a vertical offense that took advantage of subpar secondaries in his conference and should fit into a West Coast offense as a pro. His frame and ball skills give him instant credibility as a jump ball threat in the red-zone while he continues to hone his skill set. Ateman should be an early backup with a chance to climb the ladder on the depth chart.
-Lance Zierlein
4. OLB Duke Ejiofor [Wake Forrest] 6'4 270lbs
Ejiofor looked a little quicker and more fluid last season, but he's not a naturally gifted athlete. Ejiofor's game revolves around his heavy hands and his ability to finish as a rusher if a blocker gives him an opening. Ejiofor needs to play with better play speed and a more consistent motor to reach his potential, but his natural strength and ability to harass the quarterback as an interior rusher on sub packages gives him a chance to find some early playing time even if he's a backup.

5. ILB Micah Kiser [Virginia] 6'2 240lbs
Bears need depth at the position.

TE Daniel Brown to 900k
Bears sign WR Paul Richardson to 4 years 38 million/14 guaranteed
He's a young wide receiver with some speed but could use some work on his route running skills he's going to be overpaid but Bears have to bring in some receivers with upside.
Bears sign WR Taylor Gabriel to 4 years 20 million/10 guaranteed
Bears need a deep ball threat and Gabriel is perfect for that.
Bears sign K Graham Gano to 3 years 12 million/6 guaranteed
