The Chicago Bears went all-in on Justin Fields, who could be a great fit with Matt Nagy. While fans wanted offensive line, and WR is still a need, the thirst for QB was too real. Now, it puts the Bears in a spot where they could draft a wide receiver in round two.

Anthony Miller is still not in good shape with the franchise, and Allen Robinson may like Justin Fields, but still needs to work out a deal. With that in mind, who are five players the Chicago bears could take to beef up the passing game?

5. Nico Collins, Michigan

Nico Collins would be fascinating as he is a huge target who wins down the field with jump balls and contested catches. Still, for his size, he showed much better speed than many had thought with a 4.45 40-yard dash at 215 pounds. That is moving for that size.

Collins was a star prospect who was hidden in a poor Michigan offense. Do not mistake the offense he was in for his skill set, this guy can play. There is a real chance that we look back years from now and realize that Collins was always that star wideout we thought he would be in college. He just had to be realized in the NFL because of his situation.

Picture Collins in the NFL like an Alshon Jeffrey, the two have similar measurables, and both win in the air as physical presences. As a rookie, Collins could be a jump ball and deep ball target, and eventually, he could be alpha on the outside. Especially if he falls to round three, the Chicago Bears should be interested.
