Chicago Bears: 5 bold predictions for 2020 NFL Draft
By Ryan Heckman
1. The Bears draft a minimum of three skill position players
This year, I think we see the majority of picks spent on offense. First of all, they already have some great weapons. People make wide receiver look like such a horrific need sometimes, but the truth of the matter is, they have an elite target in Allen Robinson.

Not to mention, Anthony Miller should break out in 2020. What he showed in the second half of the 2019 season proved he was ready for a bigger role.
That said, I think they add another receiver to be the no. 2 or no. 3 behind those two guys — and they very well could do it in the second round.
Aside from receiver, I have the Bears drafting both a tight end and running back. I think they need a better compliment to David Montgomery; someone with a little more size than Tarik Cohen.
Tight end is a tough position right now after getting rid of Trey Burton. Counting on Jimmy Graham to be the go-to guy might not be the best decision, although I think he has something to prove and he is healthy.
Adding a rookie to the tight end room in the middle rounds seems about right, and I definitely believe it will happen. The Bears will come away with a minimum of three offensive skill position players.
