1. Will Chicago Bears draft Trey Palmer?

Trey Palmer is another name who has to answer some questions about his one year of production. He hardly got onto the field at all during three seasons at LSU and had to transfer to Nebraska to play. Still, when he did get his chance, he flashed.

Trey Palmer posted over 1,000 yards with Nebraska in his first year with the team. Still, he had about 450 yards in three years prior to that. Most fans know that it is a bit easier to beat Big 10 cornerbacks compared to SEC cornerbacks. His speed may be fine for the Big 10, but it did not flash in the SEC, and may not make a huge difference in the NFL.

So, there will be plenty of answers that he will be giving this week. He will have to show teams why it was a good decision to leave LSU and why he could not get on the field earlier in his career. He will also have to show that he has the athletic upside to not just beat the Big 10, but also compete in the NFL.
