Chicago Bears Draft Picks: Results, Analysis and Grades

Head coach John Fox is getting ready for his first draft in Chicago. Fox and general manager Ryan Pace have the seventh overall pick and look to add an impact player who can help turn this franchise around. 

The Chicago Bears have six picks in the first six rounds of the draft. They could add more via trade as they look to fill holes at wide receiver, outside linebacker, right tackle and defensive tackle. 

Can the Bears hit a home run with the draft in their hometown? They certainly need to get off to a good start in the first with a potential cornerstone player. Here's our recent mock draft and big board by position as we gauge how things might develop. 

Other storylines to keep an eye on are whether the team takes a quarterback, trades Martellus Bennett or moves any other veterans currently on the roster.

With Dante Fowler Jr., Amari Cooper and Leonard Williams off the board, the Bears opted for the best player available and filled a need in the process. 

Kevin White has a great combination of speed and size. At 6'3'', 215 pounds, White ran a 4.35-second 40-time and showed his strength with 23 reps on the bench press. 

At West Virginia, he hauled in 109 receptions and had 1,447 yards last year. The Bears are getting a receiver who is accustomed to a high volume of targets and used to the primary receiver role.

In our final team mock draft, we had White going to the Bears. His style is similar to Denver Broncos Pro Bowl receiver Demaryius Thomas.

Offensive coordinator Adam Gase had a ton of success with Thomas back in their Broncos days, and he will bring much of the same plays and routes to Chicago for White. He is the perfect complement for Alshon Jeffery and will look to stretch the field with Eddie Royal in the slot. 

White has to develop better skills coming off the jam, but he's a hard worker who got better every year from his days at junior college all the way through his stint at West Virginia. 

Grade: A

It's tough to make a transition to a 3-4 defense without having a big guy upfront who can eat up space and take on blockers. 

The Bears found their nose tackle for the future when they opted to go with Eddie Goldman here. At 6'4'', 336 lbs, Goldman has tremendous size and power to exceed at nose tackle in the NFL. 

Goldman's greatest skill is shutting down the run. He's violent with his hands and explodes out of his stance. He does a good job keeping his hips square and maintains leverage at the point of attack. 

The biggest area for Goldman to improve is his pass rushing. He's still a little slow up the field, but he will be a run-stuffing machine as soon as he shows up to Chicago. 

Setting up a front with Ray McDonald, Goldman and last year's second-round pick, Ego Ferguson, will only help the linebackers directly behind them. 

Grade: A

The Bears shift back to offense and grab a young center. Hroniss Grasu has great intangibles and leadership skills needed to lead an offensive line. 

At 6'3'', 297 pounds, Grasu is as steady as it gets at center. He's used to playing a ton of snaps working with quarterback Marcus Mariota in the Ducks' high-octane offense. He partners with former college teammate Kyle Long once again. 

There's nothing overly athletic or overpowering about Grasu, but he takes on the challenge of bigger players and always seems to take the right angles on a play. He's a hard worker who will grow to be a team leader. 

Grasu struggles a little when on the move and can use a couple of more pounds on his frame. He still has good functional strength but does need to watch his hands in the NFL. He got away with a few holding calls in college. 

Center was a team need, and Grasu can certainly be a fit for a long time. 

Grade: B

The Bears added some depth at running back by drafting Michigan State standout Jeremy Langford. With potential to be a solid NFL third-down back, it will be interesting to see how the position shakes out in training camp. 

At 6'0", 208 pounds, Langford has good speed and versatility. He was a cornerback and wide receiver who has exceptional hands and does a good job in pass protection. Langford has a quick burst to get around the edge and can provide extra value on special teams. 

Langford isn't going to bowl anybody over. He's not going to break tackles and doesn't have great ability to make people miss in space. What he does best is hit the corner for some good yards on the ground, catch the football out of the backfield and protect the quarterback on third down. 

It's going to be interesting to see what the Bears do in camp. They have Matt Forte, Ka'Deem Carey and Jacquizz Rodgers already. One of those guys likely doesn't make the team with Langford on board. 

Grade: B

In a quest to find some consistency at safety, the Bears have added another name to the group in the form of Penn State's Adrian Amos. 

Amos is a 6'0'', 218-pound center fielder who has good range and and plays well in zone coverage. He's a smart player who sniffs out routes very well and knows how to spot the football when it's in the air. 

In a division with Aaron Rodgers, Teddy Bridgewater and Matthew Stafford, it's nice to see the Bears target a true deep safety who's comfortable on the back pedal and maintains fluidity through the hips. 

The Bears shouldn't expect Amos to be a rock star against the run. He's not always aggressive stepping up against running backs and can take poor angles sometimes. He does provide a ton of value on special teams, which is what you look for in the later rounds. 

Grade: B+

With their last pick in the draft, the Bears opted for offensive tackle Tayo Fabuluje from TCU. 

At 6'6'', 353 pounds, Fabuluje is a massive tackle who does a nice job at the point of attack in the run game. He's tough to knock back and can move laterally against pass-rushers. 

Footwork is what Fabuluje will have to get better at. He also could stand to lose about 25 pounds so he can move better and prepare for the NFL's grueling style. 

It remains to be seen whether Fabuluje will stay at tackle. He might play some guard due to his lazy footwork. He's a project who's only played two years of college football. 

Grade: C
