9. Chicago Bears:

The Short List: Paris Johnson, Broderick Jones, Tyree Wilson, Myles Murphy, Lukas VanNess, Nolan Smith

You may notice a theme with the best players available. The Chicago Bears are about to have a great chance to build up their trenches with this pick, almost no matter how the board breaks.

Even if one of these names goes, it leaves someone like Skoronski, or maybe even Carter. Fans want to see Bijan Robinson, but nothing Ryan Poles has said and done makes you think he would ever in his right mind take a running back over multiple big names in the trenches.

The team may have faith in Braxton Jones and look to the defensive line. They need four starters on the line, and honestly need a backup or two as well. There is no chance that they can fix their defensive line just in free agency.

Nolan Smith is fun, but not quite a fit. If you had to bet, the Chicago Bears are going to draft one of Tyree Wilson, Myles Murphy, or Lukas Van Ness. If the board breaks like this, who would you draft? Is there anyone in the top eight that you could see falling to nine?
