I already listed Archer in my top running back targets, but he’s worth noting here again.  That’s just how versatile and dynamic this guy can be.  The Bears just lost arguably the great kick returner in NFL history in Devin Hester and they desperately need to replace him.  Archer would fit that need perfectly while also providing value as a slot receiver/change-of-pace running back.  If General Manager Phil Emery is looking to find an absolute gem in the later rounds of this draft, then Archer needs to be his guy.  He should still be available in the fifth or sixth round and would be an immediate boost to the Bears’ special teams.
