Chicago Bears could ruin Draft for Colts

Early in the offseason, the Chicago Bears had a lot of openings within their organization. The Bears looked to Indianapolis to fill a lot of these openings.

After interviewing multiple members of the Colts organization, Chicago hired former Indianapolis defensive coordinator, Matt Eberflus, as the team’s head coach.

Eberflus left Indy and took a number of coaches, and a player, with him to Chicago. Now, Eberflus and the Bears may soon be taking draft picks right off Indy’s board.

Chicago has many of the same needs as the Colts and they are slotted a couple of spots ahead of them. The Bears’ first pick is also in the second round, No. 39 overall— three spots ahead of Indy.

Chicago is also two spots ahead of the Colts in the third round, so there will be multiple opportunities on Day two where the Bears can snag a player that was almost to Indianapolis.

While both teams do share similar needs, the position Indianapolis should worry about most is wide receiver. Just like the Colts are looking for a talented wide receiver, the Bears are also hoping to find some help for their young quarterback.

Let’s say a talent like Christian Watson is dropping into the second round and is looking like he may make it to the Colts. Indianapolis shouldn’t start to exhale until he makes it past the Bears.
