With most of their glaring needs taken care of, they can concentrate on getting some depth at certain positions.  You can find good talent in the fifth round.  They can do that in the fifth round and they can find some good quality talent.  Remember what they did last year.  They picked up running back Jordan Howard in that round and he was easily their best player in 2016.

Can the Bears find another gem, like Howard, in the fifth round?

In this mock draft, so far, the defensive line has been overlooked.  The Bears could use some depth there especially with the injury history of Eddie Goldman.  One more body there could do them some good.

Do they go defensive end or defensive tackle?  That’s another decision they must make.

Defensive end could be the position the Bears look to fill here.  But who is available?  Right now, scouts have about five guys pegged as potential fifth rounders at D’ end.  They include Daeshon Hall of Texas A&M, Hunter Dimick of Utah, Keionta Davis out of Chattanooga, Josh Carraway of TCU and Trey Hendrickson of Florida Atlantic.

In looking at these four side by side, it might appear as if either Hendrickson or Hall could be good fits for Chicago.  The issue with Hendrickson is he has the stature (weight) of a tall linebacker (6-4,255) so he might be better as an outside linebacker.  Hall could be the better fit because he is more of a traditional defensive end (he does have an additional ten pounds on him).    He is an athletic guy that can rush the passer but he still needs some work.

If the Bears develop him properly, he could be a productive rotational end for them soon.
