This is the third installment looking at the NFL Draft through the lens of college conferences. Although not intended as a realistic exercise, the goal is to explore some of the candidates available in the draft and to highlight their potential in a different, fun manner. The rules are simple—each draft focuses on a single conference, and no trades are allowed. I aim to put together the best possible draft class for the 2018 Bears using Fanspeak’s default boards, team needs, and difficulty settings.
Previously, I looked at drafting only players outside of the P5 (here) and then at Chicago’s “home” conference, the Big Ten (here).
