Part 3 of a 10-part series previewing the NFL Draft and analyzing the Bears’ needs.
The Bears have 10 tight ends on their roster — the most in the NFL and double the league average. But coming off a season in which they were at or near the bottom of the NFL in tight end production — 46 receptions for 416 yards and two touchdowns — there’s always room for more. They have quantity. They need quality.
After signing Jimmy Graham and Demetrius Harris in free agency, the Bears still figure to be in the market for a tight end in the draft — maybe even with one of their two second-round picks.
