Immediately after seeing Robinson leave town, the Bears are in a world of hurt at the receiver position. Darnell Mooney very well might evolve into the team’s top receiver, but he will need some help.

At this stage, Chicago could have already moved on from Anthony Miller as they are rumored to do. That leaves Mooney, Riley Ridley and Javon Wims as the team’s three main wideouts. Of course, Cordarrelle Patterson may be retained as well.

In trading with Cleveland, the Bears move back seven spots and also net a fourth rounder in the process.

Bears receive: Pick 59, Pick 101

Browns receive: Pick 52

It is that second-round selection they use to snag LSU’s Terrace Marshall, who would come in and immediately start alongside Mooney.

Marshall has done something pretty impressive while at LSU, and that’s staying in the thick of the offense while playing alongside Justin Jefferson and Ja’Marr Chase. Last year, he caught 13 touchdowns from Joe Burrow even while technically being the third receiver.

This past season, he ended with 10. He’s been as consistent as it gets. The 6-foot-3 wideout would give the Bears that prototypical number one body. He and Mooney would be a nice, young tandem that could end up sticking around for years to come. Watching Robinson leave would be tough, but Marshall and Mooney should be able to pick up some of the slack.
