21. Anthony Miller

The Chicago Bears traded a future second-round pick to acquire Anthony Miller in the 2018 NFL draft. They have some real plans for him in 2018. Miller is a bit undersized, and profiles as a strong slot receiver.

Miller is a strong route runner who also can do serious damage with the football in his hands. This is where he will be thriving with the Chicago Bears next season.

The Bears have talked about making life easier for Mitchell Trubisky. They have talked about the value of him identifying presnap and getting the ball out of his hands quickly.

He will be getting the ball into the hands of Miller, who has the vision, strength, and footwork to make big plays with the football in his hands.

The question will be whether or not he or Taylor Gabriel is a more valuable piece to the offense. Gabriel brings more of a deep field presence but also can work with the ball in his hands in a similar way to Miller. The two will be complimenting each other, but also competing for number two duties, as both receivers can work in and out of the slot.
