Bears that we’ve grown accustomed to under general manager Ryan Pace — with no big money free agents or first or second round draft picks..."While it wasn’t as splashy of an offseason for the Chicago Bears that we’ve grown accustomed to under general manager Ryan Pace — with no big money free agents or first or second round draft picks — it was still a productive one. The Bears did lose a few starters Trey Burton Jerseys 2019 , but they plugged those holes back up with some veterans, plus addressed those positions in the draft as well. They also had a highly regarded group of undrafted free agents come in that could help build up the depth of the team.All in all, nothing happened that could negatively impact their chances to repeat as NFC North champs, and that’s the prevailing sentiment from Vegas as well, because they’re still the odds on favorite to take the division. SB Nation’s Christian D’Andrea recently wrote up his ‘One under-the-radar move to love from each NFL team this offseason.’ and his takeaway from the Bears is as follows. Clinton-Dix was a Pro Bowl performer in 2016 when he was a member of a good Packers team that went 10-6 and played in the NFC Championship game. Is it a coincidence that as Green Bay declined the two years following that season, so did Clinton-Dix’s overall play? He’s still only 26-years old, and I think he’s about to have a bounce-back year playing next to a couple All-Pros in the Bears’ secondary, not to mention Akiem Hicks and Khalil Mack up front. This is the most talent he will have ever played with and if all he does is replace Amos’ production, the Bears will be more than happy with that. But I think he’ll make more plays. Clinton-Dix has 14 interceptions and 28 passes defended in his five years as a pro. He’s also averaged 91 tackles per season. Amos had 3 interceptions in his 4 years in Chicago, as well as 18 passes defended, and he averaged 67 tackles per year. I know stats don’t tell the whole story, but the tape also shows that Ha Ha is a player that seems to be around the ball more than Amos. I think he’ll be motivated to make the most of his opportunity and cash in with a big payday after his one year in Chicago. There are a couple other under-the-radar moves I wanted to spotlight, the first being Chuck Pagano taking over as defensive coordinator from Vic Fangio. The defensive players loved playing for Vic, so there will be a period of adjustment, but Pagano is another old-school coach that was beloved by his players. Pagano also has experience in taking over a good defense and making them even better. Chicago’s D is loaded with talent, so I expect them to stay near the top of the rankings in 2019. There’s another under-the-radar move that hasn’t been made official yet, but there have been plenty of rumors that the Bears could be moving Cody Whitehair to left guard, with James Daniels moving over to the center position. If Daniels has the mental side of the NFL game down, to go along with increased physical development after a year in the strength and conditioning program, he could be a dominant force in the middle of the Bears o-line. But that’s not to say that Whitehair, who is coming off his first Pro Bowl, isn’t capable of dominating in his own right. I think a move to guard will allow Whitehair’s physicality to go to another level. He’s always been a technically sound player, but sliding over to guard will allow him to focus on just mauling people. What under-the-radar offseason move did the Bears make that has you excited?

With Tarik Cohen and Mike Davis complementing the former Cyclone, the team has accomplished their goal of revamping the running back position.So now what?There are several talented players still available in this year’s draft, and some of them could potentially fall to the Bears’ fourth-round selection at No. 126 overall. Coincidentally enough, many of them are defensive backs: one of the team’s biggest needs. These players are among the best players still on the board heading into the third day of the draft.Lester and Jacob break down Bears third-round draft pick, Iowa State running back, David Montgomery Julian Love, CB, Notre DameJulian Love carries a first-round grade on my big board, so the fact that he is still available heading into Day 3 of the draft is pretty surprising.Love is an instinctive, athletic and versatile cornerback who can play on the outside and the slot at a high level. He can accelerate out of his breaks very well, he has good lateral agility and has solid deep speed. As a tackler, he has very good closing speed and takes good angles to the ball carrier. His ball skills are impressive, too, as he can high point the ball well on deep balls and jump routes. Barring some unforeseen off-the-field issue, I really can’t see why Love is still available. He could possibly go off the board before the Bears pick in the fourth round, but he would be a fantastic selection if they were to pick him.Amani Hooker, S, IowaMy draft crush is still available entering the fourth round, and I am going to hyperventilate during every pick until he is selected Cody Parkey Jerseys 2019 , after which I will either cry tears of joy or smash my head through my wall, depending on whether or not the Bears pick him. I’m emotionally stable, guys; I swear.Amani Hooker is the most intelligent safety I’ve watched in the draft process, as he can diagnose very quickly to jump routes or close in on receivers to make a tackle. He has solid hip fluidity in coverage, and he’s a reliable tackler in run support. Hooker is also a versatile defensive back who can cover as a slot cornerback, as well. He’s not a stellar athlete, sure, but he isn’t slow by any means. The Bears need a long-term strong safety if Ha Ha Clinton-Dix leaves after the 2019 season, and the Iowa product would be a perfect fit if he were to be picked.Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, S, FloridaWhile not a pure strong safety like Hooker, Chauncey Gardner-Johnson has the athleticism and the versatility to project as a potential target for the Bears.Gardner-Johnson is a very good athlete with great closing speed, direction-changing abilities and hip fluidity. He has good instincts in space, as he can diagnose plays quickly and accelerate to break up passes or bring down ball carriers. He has very good range, and he has experience in single-high and two-high coverages, as well as a slot cornerback or a blitzing rusher off the edge. On tape, he displays a competitive personality around which teammates can rally. He’s shorter than six feet tall, and he tackles at the legs too often, but his upside in coverage makes him a potential value pick in Round 4.Amani Oruwariye, CB, Penn StateOut of the cornerbacks still available in the draft, Amani Oruwariye is the best at press-man coverage. Coincidentally enough, the Bears need a cornerback who can excel in that role. How convenient!The six-foot-two White Taylor Gabriel Jerseys , 205-pound Oruwariye has length galore for the outside cornerback position. He is physical at the line of scrimmage and delivers a good jab in press coverage. His ball skills are impressive, as he can jump routes, high point the ball and deflect passes at a high level. For a bigger cornerback, he also has pretty good hip fluidity. While not a standout athlete or a fantastic tackler, his physical tools are similar to those of at least a Day 2 draft pick. He would be an intriguing selection in the long run to replace Prince Amukamara.Christian Miller, EDGE, AlabamaThe Bears also could use some depth at edge rusher, and there happen to be a few talented players still available there.Christian Miller is one of those players, and he projects as a valuable rotational pass rusher early on in his career. He is a very good athlete who explodes off the ball consistently, he packs a solid punch at the initial point of contact, and he is good at bending and turning the corner. He is also pretty solid in coverage, as he has good hip fluidity and acceleration coming out of his breaks. While Miller could add some more pass-rushing moves to his arsenal, he’s an athletic prospect with room to grow.Justin Hollins, EDGE, OregonLike Miller, Justin Hollins is also a raw, yet very athletic edge rusher with promise. He ran a 4.5 40-yard dash and had a 36.5-inch vertical jump at the Combine, and that athleticism is apparent on tape. He accelerates very well off the snap, he can turn the corner and bend underneath offensive tackles, and he is a fluid mover in space. Hollins can also drop back into coverage and even showed promise covering receivers out of the slot. Though he never had truly great sack production and will need to bulk up to compete with NFL offensive linemen, his athleticism gives him a promises future in the pros.
