Chicago Bears: Ranking 4 LB prospects based on fan votes

Fans everywhere have their opinions on who their beloved Chicago Bears should draft at no. 8. Given only linebackers as choices, here’s how they polled.

Going into the 2018 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears will look to address the linebacker positions. Out of all possible spots to address, this is the most likely.

In the first round, the Bears could go a few different ways. If not linebacker or edge rusher, many have Notre Dame guard Quenton Nelson pegged as a favorite for Chicago to snag. Some even think the Bears should try and get Minkah Fitzpatrick if he were to fall, although the Bears addressed cornerback by bringing back their own starters from a year ago.

I think out of all possible scenarios, fans would like to see a linebacker taken at no. 8 overall in the first round. It is one of their most glaring needs after free agency, and shoring up the second level of the defense would make a lot of fans happy.

With that said, which direction will they go? Will they decide to address the middle and pair someone up with Danny Trevathan? Or, will they decide to solidify the position opposite Leonard Floyd and give the Bears another pass rusher?

In either scenario, Chicago will have some great options at no. 8. The more research I do, the more I like several players at that pick. It will be hard for Ryan Pace to disappoint if he takes one of the following four linebackers, but fans definitely have their favorite.

Here at Da Windy City, we polled Bears fans via Twitter and asked them who they would most like to see selected in the first round, if it were to come down to a linebacker or edge rusher. In reverse order, here are the results from our poll and ultimately who the majority of fans would like to see in a Bears uniform.
