5 losers from Chicago Bears 2020 NFL Draft weekend
1. Artie Burns and Kevin Toliver
Entering the 2020 NFL draft, we were debating whether Artie Burns, Kevin Toliver, or even a sleeper such as Tre Roberson could be the starting cornerback for the Chicago Bears in 2020. With Prince Amukamara unsigned, his name floated up as well.
However, all of that talk was put to a silent hush on Friday night. When the Chicago Bears drafted Jaylon Johnson with the 50th pick of the 2020 NFL draft, they drafted a starting cornerback opposite of Kyle Fuller.
