Sixth round, 181st overall: Kylie Fitts, DE, Utah. Miller got called the most underrated wideout in the 2018 class by NFL.com's Chad Reuter, who wrote the following: "There hasn't been a lot of buzz around Miller this offseason.
The run on quarterbacks in the first seven picks allowed Smith to fall to Chicago, enriching the Bears with a talent at linebacker that hasn’t been seen at Soldier Field since Brian Urlacher. He measured 6-foot-1, 229 pounds at the combine. Smith is a defensive centerpiece for coordinator Vic Fangio—a 6'1", 236-pound force with sideline-to-sideline athletic ability and the intelligence to read and diagnose what's happening before putting a stop to it. Case in point, Fitts had a composite score in the 82nd percentile at the scouting combine, blowing up with 31 reps on the 225-pound bench press, broad jumping 117 inches and running a 20-yard shuttle in 4.19 seconds, among other impressive numbers. Here are our grades for every pick from the Bears in 2018. While the Bears already addressed the hole at wideout with Anthony Miller, trading up to do so, adding Javon Wims to close out the draft class wasn't a terrible idea. The Chicago Bears welcomed seven new players to the roster after a successful 2018 NFL Draft class led by Georgia linebacker Roquan Smith. A foot injury sidelined him for much of 2016 and he was injury-prone in 2017, but as a sophomore he had 41 tackles and 7 sacks. The Bears continue to surprise everyone with their success.
Alternatively, the Bears could stand pat and hope someone such as Notre Dame offensive lineman Quenton Nelson falls in their lap. Wims has a serious shot at making the final roster, though he'll be trying to fend off guys like Josh Bellamy and Tanner Gentry. The group was asked a number of fun questions,... Chicago Bears inside linebacker Roquan Smith played like a one-man wrecking crew in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Carolina Panthers, finishing with a team-best 12 tackles in what was his best game of the 2020 season. We're looking at the Bears' selections on Day 3 of the 2018 NFL Draft. Round 4 (115): Joel Iyiegbuniwe, LB, Western Kentucky, Round 5 (145): Bilal Nichols, DL, Delaware.
It's hard to knock the Bears for this pick either way. He would come in and challenge for best center in our division right away.". Miller moving around on the same offense as Allen Robinson and Taylor Gabriel should help in that pursuit—and Miller's arrival doubles as insurance if Kevin White gets hurt yet again. Has Cairo Santos cemented himself as Bears' starting kicker? He's an immense risk because he's had problems staying healthy throughout his career, yet he is usually one of the best looking athletes when he shows up to workouts. Stay up to date with them right here. That sounds like a specialist role in 2018 and beyond, but one that is more important than ever.
I'd like to see his motor run a little hotter, but I like his ability.". Pace and the Bears are an interesting team to watch right out of the gates—and not just because of the Trubisky move last year. NFL Network's Mike Mayock really started helping Nichols' name spread during Shrine Game practices: "He flashed. Bilal Nichols was one of those names from a smaller school with immense upside often linked to the mid-rounds, so it makes sense Pace was all over it in the fifth round. In an offseason focused on adding skill players to Mitchell Trubisky’s arsenal, the selection of Smith restored the tradition in the NFL’s most storied linebacker fraternity. Last year, he posted 1,462 yards and 18 touchdowns on 96 catches with Memphis. And while it's been far from pretty, the Bears have done a good job pulling out wins. But the latter fell, and the Bears are already one of the draft's biggest winners as a result. Bears keep building around Trubisky with Daniels pick Still, it's worth cross-checking what your eyes see with what the analytics say, and in this case, the end result is the same: Smith was downright dominant. He allowed just eight yards on four receptions, had one pass breakup, and a hurry of QB Teddy Bridgewater. Bears match best available with need in selection of Smith. Kyle Long will still hold down his normal spot, making for a nasty zone-blocking interior for Jordan Howard and Tarik Cohen to run behind on every down. Nichols, a 6-foot-4, 306-pound defensive tackle, was First Team All-CAA after finishing with 56 tackles, 5.5 sacks, four pass break-ups and a blocked kick for the Fighting Blue Hens. Headed to ChiTown babyyy!!
He makes plays sideline to sideline and explodes through the hips on contact. https://bearswire.usatoday.com/2018/04/29/grading-all-seven-picks-from-the-bears-in-the-2018-nfl-draft/, David Montgomery was one of Bears' highest-graded players on offense vs. Panthers.
While many will be quick to point out Chicago hasn't beaten any good teams, they can only play the teams on their schedule.
He's worthy of a late second- or early third-round selection.".
