3. Miles Sanders

If you have read our blog over the past few months you would know that Sanders is the back we think fits the team the most. Check out our film review where he tie in his role to the Bears and how he would fit right away.

Sanders was pegged by Mel Kiper as a player that Bears fans should keep an eye on. The Bears met him at the combine, and brought him in for a private workout. Sanders has a pretty solid combine, and tested above average in every athletic category, which has some fans worried he may not fall to 87.

Based on the Chicago Bears interactions with Sanders, the vibe is that if the Bears trade up for any back, it is Miles Sanders.

Still, for as much as we have touted Sanders, and Sanders has been tied to the Bears, he does have flaws. He is a raw runner who is impatient at times behind the line with a tendency to bounce plays outside. He also has a high fumble rate.

These issues will still linger for General Managers, and when it comes time to pick, Sanders may fall to a point where he is attainable for the Bears. No matter the case, Bears fans should be listening for when his name comes off the board on draft weekend.
