4. Miles Sanders and James Williams

Surprise, we had a tie for fourth place. Miles Sanders has been covered extensively, and at this point, we know that the Bears would have to trade up for him. While he is a fit, if they trade up for a back, it will be a fit we discuss later.

Since there are better fits that will be around and worth trading up for, we will keep the Sanders talk down.

That also is because it is not discussed that James Williams may be a serious option in Chicago. Williams checked huge boxes by not just being a check down passing game option, but a serious influencer in the passing game.

After coming out as the clear best pass catcher, Williams also showed elusiveness to break runs into the third level.

Williams did not have great testing numbers and is role specific with a lack of power between the tackles. However, he is a matchup nightmare in space, and that is what Matt Nagy prefers more than anything.
