Bears target offense, secondary in Matt Miller’s 7-round mock draft

The Bears have plenty of needs to address this offseason, and they could certainly find some answers in the 2020 NFL Draft.

4th Round, No. 144: WR Jauan Jennings, Tennessee

On a list of offensive needs for the Bears this offseason, wide receiver is near the bottom of the list. Chicago has some young talent at the position, including Allen Robinson, Anthony Miller, Javon Wims and Riley Ridley.

But you can never have enough weapons at the receiver position, especially considering veteran Taylor Gabriel projects to be a potential cap-casualty with a potential $14 million savings over the next two years and just $3 million dead money.

While Tennessee’s Jauan Jennings isn’t the speedster that the Bears could use opposite Robinson, he comes up big when the ball is in his hands. He had 59 receptions for 969 yards and eight touchdowns for the Volunteers in 2019. Jennings has been a bright spot in Tennessee’s sputtering offense, which would make him a great fit with the Bears.
