Your patience is about to pay off, Bears fans.
Because after sitting out of the first round each of the last two years, Chicago’s football team is in a prime position to pick some premier talent. The Bears have two of the first 20 picks in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft, which should put them in a place to possibly snag a pair of starters. Or move back, collect draft capital, and still draft starting-caliber players..
Possibilities are endless and we are accepting only positive vibes at the time. Thank you for your understanding.

As a reminder, the Bears do not have a first-round or third-round pick as they were sent to the Raiders in the Khalil Mack trade. Nor does the team have a fourth round pick, as one was sent to the Patriots last year to move up and draft David Montgomery, while the compensatory fourth-rounder Chicago was set to receive in this draft was shipped to the Jaguars in the Nick Foles deal.
At least the Bears aren’t waiting until Round 3 to do some picking this year!

Your draft thread is down in the comments, so let’s have some good, clean (safe-for-work) fun. It’s good to have something sports-adjacent involving the Bears. Can’t wait to do this again when games actually matter again.
