3. Running back
While the Bears have their starting running back in David Montgomery, they should be in the market for his backup heading into the final day of the NFL Draft. While Tarik Cohen will be listed as the No. 2, he’s a gadget player, not a three-down back. If Montgomery were to go down with an injury, the Bears need to have someone they feel comfortable with coming in and filling in for Montgomery. Depending on what they do in the final rounds, maybe they feel comfortable enough that the guy is Ryan Nall, but they don’t really know if they can trust him to be that guy.
Pace should look at bringing in a running back with one of his Day 3 picks, someone that could serve as a true backup for Montgomery. Some prospects still on the board heading into the fourth round include Florida’s La’Mical Perine, UCLA’s Joshua Kelley and Miami’s DeeJay Dallas.
