Now that the first three rounds are over, the Chicago Bears will need to draft the best players available on Day 3.

The first three rounds are in the books and the Chicago Bears find themselves with five picks on Day. This is a big difference between Days 1 and 2. We should not be surprised if Ryan Pace finds a way to move at some point within the last three rounds. That said, let us take a look at the Bears fifth-round pick more specifically.

The third round ended and now the Chicago Bears have to wait for another 55 picks before they find themselves on the clock once again. This means we will see plenty of talent taken off the board before the Bears are even thinking about who they will select at pick No. 163.

As of now, Ryan Pace has been able to select two draft picks since the start of the 2020 NFL Draft. With the 43rd overall pick, Pace made the call and selected Cole Kmet, tight end out of Notre Dame. This seemed high for Kmet, but at least Pace did not have to trade up for him. The hope was that Chicago Bears could trade back later into the second round and also acquire a third or fourth-rounder. That did not happen.

WIth the 50th overall selection, the Chicago Bears took cornerback Jaylon Johnson out of Utah. This pick somewhat saved the day. Many gave Johnson a first-round grade. Landing him at pick No. 50 is fantastic value. Johnson has some injury concerns with his shoulder, but when healthy the Bears might develop into one of the best cornerback duos in the NFL.

Now that the Chicago Bears have addressed two positions, there are a few guys Ryan Pace must say yes to if they fall to the 163rd pick overall.
