2015 Draft notes
Draft preview - Bob LeGere: Maxx Williams' talent, potential, and production stand out in what is considered a weak class of tight ends, but there are numerous third-day options who could help a team like the Bears, who are solid at TE with Martellus Bennett.
Draft preview - Patrick Finley: The Bears will draft a meaningful tight end only if Adam Gase is enamored with two-TE formations; there are a bevy of local names who are expected to be options on day 3.
Draft preview - Adam Hoge: Melvin Gordon would be a great longterm replacement for Matt Forte, but they have greater needs and it’s unlikely they’ll take a running back seventh overall, or that Gordon gets out of the first round.
Draft preview - Greg Gabriel with a look at Northern Iowa’s David Johnson and North Dakota State’s John Crockett, two prospects from what might be the best running back class seen in years.
Draft preview - Rich Campbell: Drafting at least one depth corner, perhaps one who could play the slot, seems logical. And if a good one is available on Day 2, there'd be no harm in pulling the trigger.
Draft preview - Greg Gabriel casts an eye over two of the best corners in the 2015 draft class, Trae Waynes from Michigan State and Wake Forest's Kevin Johnson.
Draft preview - Patrick Finley: Utah's converted receiver Nate Orchard matches Bears' pass rush need.
