3) C.J. Fiedorowicz, Iowa

As Mike Flannery pointed out in his TE Rankings, Fiedorowicz is a Heath Miller clone.  It’s absolutely true.  At 6-5, 265 Fiedorowicz is hard-nosed and is an above average blocker.  He’s shown the ability to make tough catches as well as the agility and strength to elude tacklers.  The Bears may be able to target Fiedorowicz as late as the third round, which would afford them the opportunity to focus on defense in the first two rounds.  He would be a major upgrade over the Bears’ current backups at the position and would fit in nicely with the Bears offense.
