If the Chicago Bears stay at the number nine slot in the upcoming NFL Draft, the best players available could be either offensive tackles Paris Johnson Jr. from Ohio State or Georgia's Broderick Jones, or corners Christian Gonzales from Oregon or Illinois Devon Witherspoon. Some may argue that the best player is really Texas tailback Bijan Robinson, but let's be serious, the Bears aren't taking a one-contract player (which most RBs are) with a Top 10 pick.
Another alternative to the Bears is trading down to accumulate more draft capital. I doubt the Bears would want to move very far, but a trade down could either get them another second-round pick or at least give them the ammunition to move higher up in the second round than they currently stand.
