3. TE Adam Trautman, Dayton

The Bears have plenty of needs this offseason, and tight end certainly ranks high on that list. Chicago was thought to very well be the first team to take a tight end in the draft, although following the Senior Bowl there are a few tight end prospects that have certainly raised their draft stock, starting with Dayton’s Adam Trautman.

While the whole small-school tight end label is enough cause for worry — see Shaheen, Adam — the Bears shouldn’t have similar concerns with Trautman, who has proven to be one of the most complete tight ends in a draft class that also includes Cole Kmet, Brycen Hopkins and Jared Pinkney.

Trautman impressed both as a blocker and as a pass catcher, where he excelled in route running and making contested catches. The Bears are reportedly showing “strong interest” in the Dayton prospect. The only problem is, Trautman has caught the attention of the rest of the NFL, as well.
