The Chicago Bears draft targets list will include all names. That's how this goes. However, most fans are well-educated on this process by now. With free agency all but done, the Bears' list of roster needs has narrowed. They also know who the top talents are in this 2018 class. Given the present look of the roster and how the seven picks ahead of them at #8 are shaping, fans have gotten their hearts set on two particular prospects.
They are edge rusher Bradley Chubb of N.C. State and guard Quenton Nelson of Notre Dame. Most experts have them ranked among the top five prospects in the class and both would fill a glaring roster need for Chicago. Leonard Floyd is currently the only proven starter they have at edge rusher, and he's coming off a torn ACL.
Josh Sitton was just released at guard while Kyle Long endured three different surgeries this off-season. The Bears could really use a talent infusion at either position. The problem? It's hard to find scenarios where Chubb or Nelson fall to #8. Still, that doesn't mean it's impossible. So to paint a picture, here is a realistic scenario for each player where that could happen.
