Running back, 4, Jordan Howard, Tarik Cohen, Benny Cunningham, Jeremy Langford

The big name missing here is Ka’Deem Carey. Carey has been given chances and has never taken advantage of a long term starter or backup job. This offseason the team added Benny Cunningham via free agency and Tarik Cohen the draft. The Front Office that is in place in Chicago is not the same one that is tied to Carey. The two offseason signees come in with a major leg up on Carey because of this. Langford beat out Carey when Matt Forte went down two seasons ago and beat him out for a starting job last season. It would be an upset to see Carey knock of Langford in round three, this time with a roster spot on the line.

Fullback, 1, Michael Burton

The Bears have themselves a fullback competition in training camp. Freddie Stevenson was an undrafted free agent with a clear path to a roster spot until the Lions cut Michael Burton. Now, it is Burton with the experience, talent and still a ray of upside that looks to be the better bet to make the team.
