5. Bradley McDougald, S

This goes along the lines with the idea of Karl Joseph. The Chicago Bears would be signing McDougald at about his lowest value and would be putting him into a role next to Eddie Jackson where he would be at his best.

McDougald had the tall task of replacing Kam Chancellor in the Seahawks defense but did it well. Still, when the team had a chance to upgrade to Jamal Adams, they took it and sent McDougald packing.

It is fair to expect McDougald to have his worst season being traded to the circus that was the 2020 Jets. Then, an injury derailed his season after seven games. Still, just last year, this was a respected box safety.

If the Bears could get him on the cheap and place him next to Jackson they could have a perfect tandem. You never know what Bradley McDougald knows about Russell Wilson and whether they are friends or not either. It would not hurt to add a former respected locker room presence from Seattle as a starter.
