So I think we know what we have from FA, not going to get much more, watch today as they somehow wiggle into a starting RG, so lets take a look at some positions that need filled. OT, OG, O speed WR, TE to start. That should be available in the 2nd and 5th rounds.
I'll make a thread of each one, or maybe OL, reciever not sure yet, to make it a little easier to keep track of. Using DraftTeks big board. www.drafttek.com/2020-NFL-Draft-Big-Board/Top-NFL-Draft-Prospects-2020-Page-1.asp

DENZEL MIMS BAYLOR WR
40 Yard Dash 4.38
Overview
Mims is a long-striding outside target with excellent height, weight and speed and an insane catch-radius. He's a touchdown threat anytime he's near the red zone, with the focus and body control to finesse and finish catches above the rim. He struggles to release and separate from physical press corners, and he doesn't consistently compete and outwork opponents for positioning on contested catches. If the route work and intensity catch up with his natural athletic ability, he could become a dangerous "Z" receiver in a vertical offense, but the floor might be lower than some teams are comfortable with.
*Sounds similar to Miller in how need to improve his route work, but a faster version that should be healthier.

K.J. HAMLER PENN STATE WR
no 40yard stat
Overview
Explosive slot target who hits the scales as a lightweight but could have heavyweight impact on games. Hamler's blazing speed is used solo and in route combinations to stress secondaries and create big plays. He had an alarming number of drops in 2019 and the routes are ragged, but his athleticism and separation burst on all three levels helps mitigate those concerns. He's a smallish slot who isn't built for the tough yardage and could have durability concerns if he's run into too many collisions. However, speed kills and his game-breaking potential on all three levels will be enticing as a high-risk, high-reward draft pick.
*Not sure this is what the Bears are looking for, they already have a inj concern at WR in Miller who tends to be the slot guy, but like this points out speed kills and the Bears are in real need of it for this O to work properly

MICHAEL PITTMAN USC WR
40 Yard Dash 4.52
Overview
Big, smart and reliable, Pittman falls into the "possession receiver" bin, but has top-notch ball skills that allow him to bully and best cornerbacks down the field. Improving release quickness against press will be an early focal point in an NFL camp, but his frame and physicality should create work space underneath even with close coverage. He lacks the speed and separation quickness teams covet from WR1 candidates, but he comes from NFL bloodlines and plays with a pro demeanor. He should be a productive plug-and-play talent at WR2 early in his career.
*Bears seems to have this guy in spades, ARob, Riley, Wims. Unless they plan on going to a posession style game and not what Nagy is currently envisioning this likely isn't the guy

BRANDON AIYUK ARIZONA STATE WR
40 Yard Dash 4.5
Overview
Ascending receiving prospect who has shown continued improvement since coming from the JUCO ranks. Aiyuk has size, speed and is a natural pass-catcher who plays with good energy but he must improve physicality to handle contested catches. He can be slick and instinctive to separate out of stems and turns, but getting in and out of standard route breaks tends to limit his effectiveness. He needs more polish, but his ability to create yards after catch could get him some early reps while he's still developing. He has the potential to develop into a WR3.
*Sounds similar to Miller, but unless the team is planning on moving on from him, b/c of inj issues I don't see this being the guy they target

TYLER JOHNSON MINNESOTA WR
no 40 time
Overview
Contested-catch warrior who plays the game like a big brother imposing his will on his younger brothers on the playground. Johnson's lack of speed and explosiveness make it hard to create clean catch windows unless he's working against zone. However, he's an absolute rebound champ, using instincts, timing and an impressive knowledge of body control to keep defenders away from the football and make it his own. His production speaks directly to his ball skills and competitiveness, but physical limitations might pigeon-hole him into a role as a zone-beating possession slot with red-zone talent.
*A lot of these guys in the top 100 apparently, again this is the guy they have in spades. John Fox would love 6 WR's like this, but Nagy is like Jeremy Clarckson from the Top Gear and The Grand Tour shows, he wants speeeeeeeeeeed.

DONOVAN PEOPLES-JONES MICHIGAN WR
40 Yard Dash 4.48
Overview
Former five-star and top-rated receiver coming out of high school, Peoples-Jones failed to find the success and production expected over his three seasons at Michigan. His route tempo is sluggish, but he has some savvy and shortcuts footwork for out-breaking routes to the boundary. He doesn't run well enough to play outside in the pros but has decent tape as a big slot. His pro limitations go beyond Michigan's spotty offense and he may not reach any higher than being an average backup.
*Nothing the Bears will be looking for w/their limited picks

CHASE CLAYPOOL NOTRE DAME WR
40 Yard Dash 4.42
Overview
The comparison to former teammate Miles Boykin is an easy one since both have elite size and explosiveness, but Claypool has a higher ceiling and is a little more pro-ready. Claypool doesn't have shake to get much separation underneath, but he's physical inside the route and is adept at making contested catches when needed. He has size/strength/speed to bedevil singled up cornerbacks on 50/50 deep balls. He's a vertical challenger outside, a possession receiver as a big slot, an outstanding run blocker and immediate coverage ace on special teams. His elite traits and diverse skill set could allow him to create a unique footprint as a pro.
*If this breakdown is accurate not sure how he makes it out of the 1st, let alone to the Bears in the 2nd. But if he does he's an easy pick, 4.42 is speedy enough if he has the size and ability to win 50/50 deep balls.

DEVIN DUVERNAY TEXAS WR
40 Yard Dash 4.39
Overview
Straight-line speedster with a fireplug build who needs to close the ability gap between when the ball is in his hands and when it's not. Duvernay is a challenging study because he carries long speed but he's not a ball winner. He's a slot receiver with tight hips and below-average routes but has outstanding hands and uses power to add yards after catch. The pieces don't quite fit together, but great hands, YAC and speed are traits teams might look to mold. He's not a classic developmental prospect but could become one if a team has a plan for him and can improve his routes.
*Doesn't sound like a day 1 starter the team likely needs, but if they decide to snag him I could imagine they could fine a few ways to use him in limited O snaps as well as ST's while they try and develop him into a more complete WR.
Thats it for the top 100 WR's. There are a handful that should be there for the Bears in the 2nd round if they decide to go there.
