Round 6: Rakeem Boyd, RB, Arkansas
Chicago has a concerning lack of depth at running back, and that’s with Tarik Cohen returning from a torn ACL this year.
David Montgomery will be the centerpiece of the offense for years to come, but he’ll need a quality backup who can handle the early-down work whenever he needs a breather.
Boyd checks the boxes from a physical standpoint and had a much more impressive 2019 season than his injury-riddled 2020 when his production dipped to 309 yards and three touchdowns after a 2019 campaign that totaled more than 1,100 yards and over six yards per carry.
Boyd is a better player than this draft slot and the Bears benefit as a result.
