5 reasons N’Keal Harry trade was smart for Chicago Bears

1. Depth Chart

This is a combination of all of the points mentioned earlier. It is easy to knock on Harry until you see the production of the rest of the depth chart. Everyone says Harry will not make the roster, but that means someone with an equally questionable, if not more profile will be making it over him.

Harry is the youngest of all of the potential wideouts to make the roster. He had the most productive, and most notable college career of any wideout on the roster.

Pettis is being hyped to make the team because is a former second-round pick, but Pettis is less productive and older, and Harry was a first-round pick. St. Brown is older, he has less invested in him than Harry, and he was a seventh-round pick.

Even while ESB knows the coaches, it is not like that helped him get on the field. Harry had as much production with a staff that did not like him as ESB did with Getsy, who clearly liked him.

Sharpe is older, less productive, and less athletic and David Moore just got arrested. Aside from Darnell Mooney, Byron Pringle, and Velus Jones you can very easily say that Harry should be the fourth wide out based on production, age, and investment.

He is younger than Jones and still has more upside than Byron Pringle who struggled to produce with Patrick Mahomes. Still, Pringle is familiar with Ryan Poles and is more productive than Harry was while Jones is a rookie they just drafted and have signed for four more years.

After that, it is up in the air. Could Harry get cut? Yes, and in that case, he would be just like Tre Nixon, a seventh-round wideout we all do not remember. Still, he could easily be better than Pettis, Moore, Sharpe, and ESB and if he makes the roster he at least has a new life in the NFL. Still, from that point, at his cost, making the roster is worth the future pick.
