Chicago Bears: Round 4, No. 110 via CLE

As hilarious as it is to remember when the Bears had at one point 11 tight ends rostered last year, this pick is to replace Jimmy Graham and allow Cole Kmet to assume the role as the starter.

Graham is a cap hit the Bears can afford to lose. Cutting the 34-year-old player saves roughly $7 million in cap space, but the team would be wise to grab Tremble here in the fourth round.

Tremble is a great run blocker and can help open up the Bears’ offense in two-tight end sets. He’s an athletic prospect with some solid speed, but his route running could use some work. That being said, he and Kmet could bounce around between the passing game and run game, confusing opposing defenses.

If at nothing else, the Bears have some depth behind Kmet with grabbing his former teammate at 110. Tremble could create great passing opportunities with his blocking abilities while also opening up good chunk plays for himself.
