With their two Friday night picks, Ryan Pace and Matt Nagy addressed major positions of need, grabbing Notre Dame tight end Cole Kmet with the 43rd pick and Utah cornerback Jaylon Johnson seven picks later.
So what's next? Staying on your couch all day, for one. On Saturday, the Bears have a whole bunch of picks: one in the 5th (163), two in the 6th (196, 200) and two in the 7th (226, 233).
The only glaring position of need that the team hasn't addressed yet is offensive line, and it stands to reason that they'd try to fill out some depth there tomorrow. TCU's Lucas Niang, Washington's Trey Adams, and LSU's Saahdiq Charles are all tackles the Bears could roll the dice on, while St. John's Ben Bartch and Auburn's Jack Driscoll could fill in the interior.
At linebacker, names like Troy Dye (Oregon), Malik Harrison (Ohio State), and Akeem Davis-Gaither (App State) are all edge names to keep an eye on.
AND, if we really want to get crazy, Jake Fromm (Georgia), Jacob Eason (Washington), and Anthony Edwards (Washington State) are all QBs that may be slipping into the Bears' range. THAT'd be a fun way to end the draft.

Just a short list of guys I like that could be around for our pick. Leki Fotu, Robert Windsor, Derek Tuszka, Charlie Heck, Danny Pinter, Charlie Taumoepeau, DPJ, Alex Taylor, DJ Wonnum, Nick Coe, Charlie Taumoepau.

Too many WRs to name.
Love it, I'll check these guys out! Consensus seems we need some speed, any fast receivers that stand out? Or are the ones you want filling that mold?

At this point the chances of finding starters or even rotational players drops off, Pace's "skill" at finding gems not withstanding. If I'm Pace I'm polling every scout/FO person on the payroll and getting a list of top players left. Average the lists out and when its time to draft, go right down the list. I'd also ask for one player you have to have as an UDFA, if one guy is named more than once, draft him in 7th.
I'd also find the OFF skill player (WR/TE/RB) with the highest ceiling best case God blesses him potential. Find that guy with the one trait that if by some miracle it all clicks you have All-Pro/Pro-Bowl/HOF player on your hands. Draft that guy too.
