Another big area the Bears need to address is their secondary. In this mock draft, the Chicago Bears move up in the fourth round to acquire Mario Goodrich of Clemson.

Goodrich shined in a year when Clemson fell off the scene. He’s got elements of his game that need polishing, including a habit of attacking upfield too quickly, but the intangibles are there for Goodrich to play right away. He’s physical and has a solid frame, plus his ball skills led to several interceptions in 2021. If Matt Eberflus wants a tough and finesse corner to compliment Jaylon Johnson, Goodrich is an excellent candidate.

Linebacker depth is something the Bears need to address a bit more, which is why Terrel Bernard would be a good choice in the fifth round. He posted two seasons with over 100 total tackles and is accredited to being both a leader and film junkie. The Chicago Bears need speed on special teams, which Bernard can contribute to right away while he builds up his frame and develops behind players like Roquan Smith.
