If they stay at 8.. Chubb, Smith, Nelson and Edmunds are my choices if they're available there. I don't like any of the other names I've seen/heard at that spot associated with the Bears. And as is, I think Nelson value wise is a poor choice there too but I can't hate it either as I expect he'll be a pretty good player. He may be the closest guarantee to be good of the names I have here. But his position has good value later in the draft while some of the players at the positions like edge rusher, have better value the earlier you can get them.
I would prefer the Bears find a trade back tho and land a player like Ridley -a need, and a solid value the later he can be grabbed. Pace needs more picks in those early rounds to add more talent to this team, and possibly build the O-line where there should be good interior linemen value in the 2nd and 3rd rounds.
Pace better not trade down then take projects like Shaheen in the 2nd round. Stick with guys with high floors instead of swinging and missing.
