I like to do “theme” mock drafts when I go through the process. I’m not trying to hit every single pick, because let’s face it, that’s impossible. I use mocks as an exercise to learn more about prospects the Chicago Bears could draft. Mocks are supposed to be fun and informative, so I actually enjoy going outside the box on some picks, and besides, you never can tell how the real draft will fall.
I used the Fanspeak mock draft simulator and I went with their board and I accepted no trades. I also went with best player available (according to the board) because Bears’ general manager Ryan Pace has talked about being a BPA drafter.
