With Jordan Howard traded it is now clear that the Chicago Bears will draft at least one running back this spring. While many assume that they will take the best back that falls to pick 87, that is still a very volatile draft spot. If the Bears do not see a top back available, or think they can wait to get their guy, they should.
They did a good job of signing free agents to avoid needs-based drafting and the Howard trade does not change that. With that in mind, these five backs may fall later into the draft, but could be great options in Chicago.
