Best Value For Bears In Every Round By Position: Tight End

152nd overall- Richard Rodgers– California- Rodgers is athletic and best profiles at the next level as a joker type who you can move all over the field. More of a pass catcher than an inline guy. Kind of an over sized slot receiver. Not very physical despite the bulk to be. He has a lot of project-able upside, and could add extra juice to an already potent offense.

Alternate pick: Marcel Jensen– Fresno State- Jensen is yet another giant TE prospect. He’s not a big time athlete, but has nice athleticism to go with that size. Giant catch radius should serve him well as a red zone target, or as a bail out target on 3rd downs. Very willing blocker profiles him as more inline than Flex/H-back type.
