Chicago Bears: Five cornerback targets in the 2018 NFL Draft

How will the Chicago Bears address the uncertainty in their cornerback room in the 2018 NFL Draft?

Well, now that the Super Bowl is out of the way, Chicago Bears fans can start looking forward to how the Bears can improve those 99-1 Super Bowls for 2019.

Hey, for perspective, the Philadelphia Eagles started last season somewhere from 40-1 to 50-1. The New England Patriots, on the other hand, were 3-1. You never know what could happen, especially with this reformed coaching staff and image.

But back to the Bears.

We already know that the team will have its eye on several high-priced free agent targets, like Jarvis Landry, and will look to potential re-sign veterans like Kyle Fuller.

In the end, though, it’s all about building through the draft, and the 2018 NFL Draft remains one of the Bears’ top priorities. And it should because they still have a ton of needs to fill.

One of them, regardless of what happens with Fuller, is at cornerback. As such, we should expect the Chicago Bears to take at least one in April’s draft.

The question, as always, is where that cornerback will be taken. As it turns out, there are options both early on and in the middle rounds that the Bears could consider.

And given the amount of impact shutdown corners like Jalen Ramsey and Marshon Lattimore have had on their new teams, we can’t discount the idea that the Chicago Bears might not look for a stud corner at No. 8 overall. Therefore, some of the top cornerback prospects in the draft will be on this list.

Here are a few cornerbacks the Chicago Bears could, and should, have their eye on in the 2018 NFL Draft.
