As I’ve written recently, the Chicago Bears and GM Jerry Angelo may well trade down and out of the first round tonight. That is, unless one of these five players fall to them.
Look, none of the players within this article are likely to still be on the board when the Bears draft at No. 29. Still, it is worth learning a bit more about these names, as one of them could be a Bear Thursday night if the stars align just right.
Note, too, that the Bears have been strongly linked to Marvin Austin. But there is a good chance he’s there at 29, and if they cannot work out a deal to their satisfaction and all the good offensive linemen are gone, they may just go ahead and pluck the defensive tackle.
But I hope not, as I feel they could get Austin early in the second round. Nevertheless, there are circumstances in which the Bears would not trade their first round pick.
Let’s see who those players are.
