RD. 6 – No. 196. Scott Frantz | OT | Kansas State
The Bears need plenty of help on the offensive line, and it’s actually a surprise that Draft Wire doesn’t have the Bears targeting offensive line until round 6. There’s an argument to be made that the Bears need to draft a tackle more than a guard if only because the lack of depth behind Charles Leno Jr. and Bobby Massie.
While Chicago does have a vacancy at right guard following Kyle Long’s retirement, Germain Ifedi, Alex Bars and Rashaad Coward will be competing for that job. The others provide solid depth at guard for Chicago. With offensive tackle being a deep class this year, Scott Frantz could be a prospect that can be groomed to ultimately replace Leno or Massie.
RD. 6 – No. 200. Jonathan Garvin | EDGE | Miami (FL)
Pass rusher was certainly an issue for the Bears heading into this offseason. While Khalil Mack remains arguably the best in the game, Chicago parted ways with former first-round pick Leonard Floyd and brought in some help with Robert Quinn, who had 11.5 sacks in 2019. While the Bears also added Barkevious Mingo as a reserve, they could also bring in Miami’s Jonathan Garvin, who would serve well to learn under some of the best in the game in Mack and Quinn.
RD. 7 – No. 226. Robert | WR | Texas A&M
Given the many issues on the offensive side of the ball, wide receiver hasn’t really been addressed as a need for Chicago. But with the departure of speedster Taylor Gabriel, the Bears need to draft a receiver. While Kendrick Rogers isn’t the fastest receiver, he could develop into a redzone threat for either quarterback Mitchell Trubisky or Nick Foles.
RD. 7 – No. 233. Robert Windsor | DL | Penn State
The defensive line remains arguably the Bears’ most solid position, although they did lose a key contributor in Nick Williams to free agency. But with Akiem Hicks, Eddie Goldman, Roy Robertson-Harris and Bilal Nichols, they remain a group to be reckoned with. While Robert Windsor has been questioned for his of size and pass rush ability, he might be a prospect worth taking a chance on given his high motor and agility.
