There is a growing consensus among NFL draft analysts that the Chicago Bears will select LSU safety Jamal Adams with the third overall pick in next month's draft.
ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. penciled in Adams to the Bears at No. 3 in his Mock Draft 3.0 released on Wednesday. Just last week, ESPN’s Todd McShay also predicted that Adams will be taken by Chicago in Round 1.
It’s no secret the Bears were unhappy with the play of their safeties last season. The Bears moved quickly to sign veteran safety Quintin Demps -- six interceptions for the Houston Texans in 2016 -- in free agency, guaranteeing him $4.
