Round 6: chris evans | RB | michigan
There’s no doubt the Bears’ offense belongs to RB David Montgomery, but if 2020 proved anything, it’s that depth is needed behind him. Fortunately, running backs aren’t hard to find in the later rounds, and landing a player like Evans — who has enough talent to challenge for a starting job in the NFL — is great value.
The uncertainty surrounding Tarik Cohen’s recovery from a torn ACL and the lack of established veterans on the depth chart would give Evans a fantastic opportunity to contribute as Montgomery’s primary backup in 2021.
