Chicago Bears: Logical 2017 NFL Draft Targets at Each Position

Logical Chicago Bears targets throughout the 2017 NFL Draft at each offensive and defensive position.

Ryan Pace and the Chicago Bears must do well in the 2017 NFL Draft. The Bears have not had a winning record since 2012 and have finished last in the NFC North in each of the last three seasons. Pace did a great job of landing impact talent in the 2016 draft, as Leonard Floyd, Cody Whitehair and Jordan Howard led an impressive rookie class last season.

Pace must now find a way to build around that class. The Bears were aggressive in free agency, but they were mostly aggressive in the middle-tier of the open market. Pace was not interested in committing a ton of long-term money to free agents, instead opting to build his roster through the draft. Typically, this is the right way to go.

However, in order for it to work, the Chicago Bears must hit a home run in the 2017 NFL Draft, much like they did a year ago. With the third overall pick and many early round selection, the Bears are in a good position to add a lot of impact talent to the mix.

In this post, we are going to look at specific targets for the Bears at every offensive and defensive position. Some positions are more likely to be selected than others, but a rebuilding team like Chicago would be wise to keep all of their options open. For the most part, we are going to be looking at at least one top-tier prospect, one who is projected to be taken in the middle rounds and one late round sleeper at each position.

Without further ado, here are specific and logical targets for the Chicago Bears in the 2017 NFL Draft. The most important position is up first as we look at some quarterbacks.
