Texas A&M Football: Teams that could take Christian Kirk in Round 2 of the NFL Draft
By Jeff Shull
No. 39 Overall: Chicago Bears
Like many teams drafting in the top 10, the Chicago Bears have plenty of needs. Wide receiver is one of them and you could see them take one here.
The Bears were devoid of weapons for Mitchell Trubisky a year ago. They went out and tried to remedy that situation by signing Allen Robinson from the Jacksonville Jaguars and Taylor Gabriel from the Atlanta Falcons. But they may not stop there.
You can never have enough receivers, but the Bears had none and they need to add as many new bodies as possible. Kirk would be a fantastic weapon for Trubisky who could move the chains and make explosive plays in open space.
Kirk would be a scary weapon with Tarik Cohen, who is a nightmare for defenses himself. He and Kirk together would cause defenses to focus their attention on them in the middle of the field and could open things up on the outside. He could also potentially spell Cohen on returns, though Cohen is definitely the guy there and that likely will not change.
