The Healing Mock Draft

I know this is stupid and a waste of time, but to heal I need to look to the future and not think about what happened last night.

Free Agency

OG Andre Smith [Cincinnati] 4 years 24 million/10 guaranteed

A disappointment as the 6th pick he has turned into a solid RT, but I think with his size and power he is best suited at LG.

Draft

1[25] OT Brennan Williams [North Carolina] 6'7" 325lbs.

Williams is an under the radar draft prospect that carries a 2nd round grade because he plays RT at North Carolina. But Williams is an elite athlete and has the size, length and movement skills to be a LT for the Bears. With how bad J'Marcus Webb has been the Bears need to find someone who can become their LT.

2[57] LB Nico Johnson [Alabama] 6'2" 245lbs.

If LT was not such a huge need I would suggest taking a LB in the 1st round, but that is a luxury the Bears cannot afford. Johnson is a Nick Saban LB which means he is disciplined and pro ready. Johnson has the size to hold up inside and the speed to drop into the middle coverage that he needs to in our defense.

3. Traded for Brandon Marshall

4. TE Joseph Fauria [UCLA] 6'6" 255lbs.

Kellen Davis is brutal and Kyle Adams may never be able to block. Fauria has the size to be a relevant blocker and the hands to be a threat in the passing game. He is not an elite athlete like the Gronks and Grahams but he will represent an upgrade.

5. CB Nigel Malone [Kansas St] 6' 190lbs.

The Bears continue to develop CB talent for the future, but at this point their vets a re playing well and do not immediate return from these young guys.

6. LB Kenny Tate [Maryland] 6'4" 220lbs.

A converted safety that is stuck between positions he may be an ideal fit in the Cover 2 as he is long and he can cover. He has the physical tools to warrant development behind Briggs.

7. Traded for Brian Price

Brennan Williams is not an elite athlete. I highly doubt he'll be considered a potential LT.

Edit: I may have to take that back. He looks pretty fluid here.

I wasn't impressed with him before.

lol Yeesh finishing the second half of the video. There's the very sluggish lateral movement I saw.
