Was going to make a seperate thread for each but just decided to lump them altogether. So beware it's kinda lengthy.
Coaching:
5. John Defilippo
Carson Wentz appears to be on his way to super stardom and Defilippo is the man behind it all. Hiring Defilippo would be going all in on developing Trubisky. What worries me is that head coach may be a little overwhelming for Defilippo, he is a much better fit at offensive coordinator.
4. Pete Carmichael Jr.
The Saints offense has been elite for over a decade. Carmichael has been one of the masterminds behind that unit. What I like most about Carmichael is his ability to effectively use both the run and pass game. When you think of the saints you usually don't think of them as a good run team. But they've been able to utilize some pretty mediocre backs like Pierre Thomas, Mike Bell, and Chris Ivory. Now that they have some real talent at running back in Ingram and Kamara, just look at them tear defenses apart.
3. John Morton
Talk about doing a lot with little. Many believed the Jets could've gone 0-16 this season. But Morten has turned a bunch of nobodies into one of the better offenses in football. Josh McCown is pro-bowl bound and guys like Robby Anderson and Bilal Powell have shredded opposing defenders.
2. Matt Nagy
Nagy is a disciple of the great Andy Reid and has the Chiefs looking like one of the more dynamic offenses in the NFL. Nagy knows how to utilize his weapons. Teams seem to have no answers when it comes to stopping Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelce, and Kareem Hunt.
1. Jim Harbaugh
A man can dream can't he? This is unlikely but Harbaugh is in my opinion the best coaching option. Remember when Colin Kaepernick was one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL and the 49ers were a Superbowl contenders? Those 49ers team were led by none other than
Jim Harbaugh. His firing is still controversial to this day.
Draft:
1st Round
6. (OT) Orlando Brown - Oklahoma
Brown is a mammoth of a man at 6'8 and 350 pounds. Brown absolutely dominates in the run game and also had the quickness to be solid in pass protection. He's probably a better fit at right tackle than at left. If it wasn't for this stacked offensive line draft, Brown would be a top 10 pick.
Projection: Late first, early second
5. (WR) Christian Kirk - Texas A&M
Explosive, shifty, speedy, elusive, and dangerous are just a few words that describe the Aggies star wide receiver Christian Kirk. The best deep threat this draft will have to offer. Kirk's speed is a force to be reckoned with on jet sweeps and screens. Just imagine having this guy and Cohen on the field at the same time.
Projection: Late first, early second
4. (CB) Josh Jackson - Iowa
Jackson had a breakout season in 2017. The 6'1 Hawkeye's corner had 47 tackles, 14 pass breakups, and 7 interceptions his junior year. The Bears need a corner that can lock down whoever is lined up across from him. Jackson could certainly be that kind of player.
Projection: Top 20
3. (WR) Calvin Ridley - Alabama
Probably the safest receiver in the draft. Although guys like Sutton, and Washington have the potential to be elite, they also have a good chance to be busts. Ridley may not have that same potential, but his floor is extremely high. At worst he turns into a Jarvis Landry level player. He's got great hands and runs the best routes I've seen from a college player in a long time.
Projection: Top 15
2. (DB) Minkah Fitzpatrick - Alabama
The best defensive back in this draft, Fitzpatrick provides versatility like none other. He can play free safety, strong safety, corner, and nickelback. He is the type of player defensive coordinators dream of. He could provide that playmaker in the secondary the Bears desperately need.
Projection: Top 10
1. (EDGE) Bradley Chubb - NC State
Chubb is the best pass rusher in this draft. He could definitely be gone by the time the Bears pick. But if he does fall, I wouldn't be surprised to see Pace scoop him up.
Projection: Top 5
Some other guys the Bears could use: Clelin Ferrell, Harold Landry, Arden Key, James Washington, Dorance Armstrong, Quenton Nelson, Connor Williams, Mike McGlinchey, Courtland Sutton.
2nd Round
5. (EDGE) Austin Bryant - Clemson
Bryant is a big part of the ferocious Clemson defense. Bryant is long and athletic with killer quickness off the snap. He would fit in nicely next to Goldman and Hicks.
4. (WR) Simmie Cobbs Jr. - Indiana
This man just could not be stopped. His 6'4 frame makes it hard to do so. Cobbs stepped his game game up during the Hoosiers game against Ohio State. Cobbs routinely beat top cornerback Denzel Ward, which leads me to believe he could do the same to top corners in the NFL.
3. (DL) Da'Shawn Hand - Alabama
Where Hand will land on draft day seems to be uncertain as of now. I've seen him mocked anywhere between the first and fifth rounds. Matter of the fact is that Hand has been a solid lineman against the best competition college football has to offer.
2. (WR) Deon Cain - Clemson
Cain is 6'2 with some nice speed. He has been a force since his freshman year on some really good Clemson teams.
1. (EDGE) Lorenzo Carter - Georgia
Are we sure this isn't Leonard Floyd's long lost brother? Carter is nearly a carbon copy of former bulldog Leonard Floyd. They both share speed, size, and uber athleticism. Pairing them both in the NFL would be a treat to watch.
Later Round Sleepers
5. (CB) Adonis Alexander - Virginia Tech
Alexander certainly has the length to be elite in the NFL. What worries me most is that his stats have gotten worse and worse every year he's been in college
4. (LB) Nyles Morgan - Notre Dame
Not an incredible athlete, but Morgan has practically everything else. He's got great instincts, good coverage skills, great against the run, and hits like a truck.
3. (OT) Geron Christian - Louisville
Lamar Jackson will be the first to tell you how good this guy is. Standing at 6'6 320, Christian could be a nice find in later rounds.
2. (CB) Donte Jackson - LSU
Expect good numbers from Jackson at the combine later this year. Jackson has blazing speed and insane athleticism. He is pretty short at 5'11, and has been known to make mistakes in coverage. But those things can be taught, speed can't.
1. (WR) Equanimeous St Brown - Notre Dame
After an incredible 2016, many thought St Brown was the top receiver in college football. However, in 2017 Notre Dame shifted to a run first offense behind Brandon Wimbush and Josh Adams, so his production dropped significantly. St Brown is 6'4 and consistently wins the 50/50 ball, something the Bears desperately need.
Free Agency:
5. (EDGE) Alex Okafor - Saints
An achilles injury cut Okafor's season short. But he made his presence felt with 4.5 sacks in 2017. Okafor would be a nice addition to a lacking Bears pass rush.
4. (WR) Allen Robinson - Jaguars
Robinson has the potential to be a true number 1 receiver. He's not too far removed from a 1,400 yard and 14 touchdown season. So what's the catch? Robinson has had his share of injury problems including and ACL injury. He's a high risk/high reward signing.
3. (CB) Trumaine Johnson - Rams
Johnson is a pretty young corner who can be plugged into any defense and succeed. Johnson has elite size and strength and is the best corner that will hit the market this off season.
2. (WR) Paul Richardson - Seahawks
The lengthy seahawks receiver has had a breakout year in 2017. But just like Robinson, he has struggled to stay healthy so far in his career.
1. (WR) Jarvis Landry - Dolphins
Signing Landry would be grabbing a pro-bowl caliber receiver. Unlike Robinson and Richardson, Landry's had a short injury history. Since Landry's rookie season, he has pulled in a mind boggling 368 receptions, which is behind only Antonio Brown and Julio Jones. Yes, Landry is mostly a slot receiver, but he does that job better than most other guys in the NFL.
