2021 NFL Mock Draft: Trevor Lawrence, Justin Fields are golden tickets
Pick Analysis. OT. 13. player. Walker Little. 57. Scouting Report. Stanford
The Chicago Bears are flat-out a mess. If not for their defense and the level that unit is capable of playing at, all of the other moves that this organization has made under general manager Ryan Pace would likely have this team in the running for a top-five pick.
Most of the unrest with the Bears boils down to the quarterback position. Trading for Nick Foles is a questionable decision in its own right but the fact that the front office apparently feels forced to do so because they whiffed on Mitchell Trubisky makes it even more troublesome. And depending on what Foles does, this could be a landing spot for a quarterback.
Call it hopeless optimism or maybe just the belief that the Bears will try and make their current quarterback situation work, I believe they look to revamp the offensive line now that they have a first-round pick for the first time since 2018. And with it, they take Stanford offensive tackle Walker Little.
Little might’ve been a first-rounder in 2020 had he not missed last season due to injury. But if he can come back and show he hasn’t lost a step, the massive 6-7, 320-pounder has the tools to be a high-quality NFL offensive tackle and one of the cornerstones for the Bears offense, no matter who is lining up under center.
