NFL Draft 2018: Analysis of NFC North division teams' draft picks

Chicago Bears

Mitch Trubisky's Bears added some much-needed talent to their roster this year

The Bears were one the most impressive teams during the offseason, adding major pieces to their offense via trade and free agency, providing Mitchell Trubisky the options he did not have last season.

The Bears had the 8th overall pick in the first round of the draft after they finished with a dismal 5-11 record in the regular season. It was a really advantageous position to pick as most teams in the top-10 were looking to draft a QB leaving the Bears with the cream of the non-QB options.

They drafted Georgia LB Roquan Smith with the 8th overall pick, the 2018 SEC defensive player of the year will be a day one starter, providing much needed speed and strength to the heart of the Bears' defense.

With their first pick in the second round (No. 39 overall) Chicago drafted Iowa C James Daniels, thereby filling a huge need at the interior of their offensive line. James is a hybrid guard/center who will most probably be utilized at both positions in Nagy's offense.

With the 51st pick overall pick they also beefed up their receiving corps with the selection of Memphis WR Anthony Miller. Miller might not be the guy you fall in love with after seeing his measurables but his tape suggests that he has a safe pair of hands and the knack to make the 50-50 catches.

In the following three rounds they further increased the depth of their defense with the selections of Western Kentucky LB Joel Iyiegbuniwe (No. 115 overall), Delaware DT Bilal Nichols (No. 145 overall) and Utah DE Kylie Fitts (No. 181 overall).

With their last pick (No. 224 overall) they drafted Georgia WR Javon Wims who has shown some solid pass-catching abilities but, like most seventh rounders, he will face an uphill battle to make it to the first team.

The Bears had a strong draft, underlined by the fact that unlike a lot of teams they addressed their areas of need (LB, OL & WR) in the very beginning of the draft.
