With the 2020 NFL Draft just days away, what are five prospects the Chicago Bears should avoid with the 50th overall pick?

Here’s the deal: We still don’t have an idea of what the Chicago Bears will do in the NFL Draft. April in the NFL is just another word for lying season, meaning that whatever you see on social media and in the news may or may not be true.

Thus, we’re all forced to make our own opinions about who the Bears like as 2020 NFL Draft prospects and who they could avoid based on things we hear throughout the predraft process. This year, despite everything being online, things are no different.

When the Chicago Bears are on the clock at 50th overall on Friday April 24th, there’s no knowing what they’ll do. They could trade down and accumulate more draft picks or they could select a player.

Let’s just say they decide to do the latter and select a player. With this selection, the goal should be to add an impact player, someone who can come in and help the team immediately. It shouldn’t be someone that’s a project and will need some time to develop.

General manager Ryan Pace and head coach Matt Nagy are going into a season where they don’t have “time” to allow draft prospects to develop. With the two in win-now mode, it’s important to find finished products rather than project players.

As the 2020 NFL Draft gets closer, what are five players the Bears need to avoid with the 50th overall pick? Let’s examine some names and find out why the Bears should be avoiding each of these players.
