Later on in the fifth, the Bears take a tight end who is slowly seeing his draft stock rise. TCU's Jared Wiley is a towering 6-foot-6, 249 pounds but ran a blazing 4.62 in his 40-yard dash at the Combine. He's becoming someone to watch in this class and could give the Bears a second legitimate receiving threat at the position.

Finally, the Bears add more competition at center by drafting a guy who had one of the best Combine performances in NFL history. Somehow, he's still projected as a late Day 3 guy. But, Wisconsin's Tanor Bortolini definitely has a future in this league.

It might seem odd seeing a Wisconsin offensive lineman projected to go so late, and that's because it is odd. If you play offensive line for the Badgers, chances are, you'll go on to have a long career as a pro.
