2018 NFL Draft: Bears trade back into second round, select Anthony Miller at No. 51 overall
No one can ever say Bears general manager Ryan Pace doesn’t have conviction to get his guys. After selecting James Daniels earlier, the Bears traded back into the second round to select Anthony Miller at No. 51 overall in the 2018 NFL Draft.
At a glance, the trade looks like a hefty value for Chicago. The Bears gave up No. 105 overall and their 2019 second rounder to the New England Patriots for the opportunity to get Miller. Like Leonard Floyd and Mitchell Trubisky before him, Pace saw Miller and clearly couldn’t let him slip through his grasp. The Bears had a need at receiver and elected to go all in with that offensive diversity.
