The Bears currently go on the clock with the 11th pick in the 2016 draft – not a position a franchise particularly wants to be in unless it’s traded up there, since you only earn that slot otherwise with a miserable season. But it’s a spot where elite and near-elite players live ( see Watt, J.J.; Marshall, Wilber; Cutler, Jay), which is a good thing for a team in need of a rookie-year difference-maker.

Not that No. 11 guarantees anything, of course.
