Chicago Bears: Final 7-Round 2017 NFL Mock Draft
After losing Alshon Jeffery in free agency, the Chicago Bears have an obvious need at the wide receiver position. They could probably roll with Kevin White, Cameron Meredith, Kendall Wright and Markus Wheaton, but they need to at least add a late-round flyer to the mix.
In the fifth round, they find Mack Hollins out of North Carolina. Hollins is a 6-foot-4, 221-pound wide receiver who shows impressive natural speed on the field. He can make plays deep and has the ball skills to be a major threat in the red zone.
Hollins is an extremely raw prospect who was primarily used as a deep threat or decoy in college. He needs a ton of work to be NFL-ready but his upside at the next level is easy to see.
Jeremy Clark stands 6-foot-3, giving him the size and length that the Bears covet at the cornerback position. Clark was a productive corner at Michigan, showing impressive press man-to-man skills. He has good athleticism for the position and attacks the ball well in the air.

Unfortunately, Clark suffered a torn ACL last season. His injury will certainly hurt his draft stock, but he definitely has long-term upside at the cornerback position. With their final selection in this mock draft, the Chicago Bears take a shot on Clark who could fill a long-term position of need.
