With only three games remaining in this NFL season, most of the league has already moved into off-season mode. This is the typical time of year when the mock draft mayhem ensues. Fans start to see what the top draft experts believe their teams will place their focus come April. The Chicago Bears fandom is no different. They've eagerly awaited to hear what the big guns have to say. Well they don't have to wait any longer.
It's still early but most of the top names have begun to release their first mock drafts of the year. As most know by now the Chicago Bears hold the #8 overall pick. This due to their 5-11 finish in 2017 and strength of schedule. It marks the first time since 2001 they've held that selection when wide receiver David Terrell was selected.
Obviously that didn't go so well. Perhaps they will have better luck this time. So was their a player that became a consensus favorite for them? Yes, and so was the position he plays.
