The Bears need a left tackle and a defensive end.
This is a good year, then, to draft 25th overall.
“There are some years where your need and where you’re picking and you’re like, ‘Oh, crap, we better move one way or the other,’” NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah said Thursday. “I think they can just sit right where they are and see how it falls.”
The Bears haven’t picked this late in the first round since they took Gabe Carimi 29th overall 15 years ago.
