MOBILE, Ala. — The Senior Bowl is the most prestigious college all-star game, but this isn’t where the Bears will look for someone to draft in the first round. None of the players in the mix to go No. 1 overall — or even in the top 10, assuming the Bears trade back — are here.
But for a team that needs almost everything, they must nail their mid-round picks. The Bears have a second-rounder (No. 56), a third (No. 65) and two fourths (Nos. 103 and 134), and the Senior Bowl is the perfect place to pursue those prospects and ideally identify some gems who will slip to the late rounds or even go undrafted.
