Chicago Bears: Grading every 2018 NFL Draft pick

Grade: B

The focus on helping Trubisky is apparent, especially after the Bears gave up a 2018 fourth-round pick and 2019 second-round pick to take Anthony Miller at No. 51. While I’m not completely sold on the Memphis product as worthy of that high of a pick, he should help the passing game early.

During his days with the Tigers, he was uber productive, putting up huge numbers during his final two seasons in college. Although he lacks some of the elite measurables teams look for in early-round receivers, it doesn’t take watching much film to understand why the Bears weren’t afraid to give up assets to draft Miller.

What Miller excels at is using excellent route running and short-area quickness to create separation. He isn’t going to leave many cornerbacks in the dust, but he wins with smart movement and an ability to set up the coverage. While he’s not a great athlete, Miller shows good ball skills and can create yards after the catch.

The Bears already have Allen Robinson and Taylor Gabriel to keep opposing secondaries in check. With Miller working underneath, I could see him having a sneaky good rookie season as an experienced, crafty weapon in Trubisky’s arsenal.

Still, what they gave up to get Miller hurt his final grade a bit.
