The NFL has announced its draft order for the year 2020, and with it, the information on where the Bears will be taking its pick coming this late around April is disclosed.
To catch you up on things, right now, the Chicago Bears have a total of eight draft picks. This includes a fourth-round compensatory pick that they got as a reward because of their exchange for Adrian Amos.
Here is the list of where the Bears will be picking in the following flow of events.
Friday, April 24

Saturday, April 25
On April 25, they got their picks for the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th rounds. For the 4th round, they got pick 34, which is the 140th overall and is also a compensatory pick.
For the 5th round, they got pick 18, which is 163rd overall. For the 6th round that came next, the Bears got pick 17, which is 196th overall. They also got pick 21, which is the 200th overall that came from the Eagles.
7th rolling out, they got pick 12, coming for the Raiders, which is 226th overall. And the last for the 7th round is pick 19, which is 233rd overall.
To make it easier for you, here is a simple list of draft picks.
Second Round – Number 43 (coming from the Raiders in the Khalil Mack trade), and Number 50.
Fourth Round – Number 140 (which is a compensatory pick).
Fifth Round – Number 163
Sixth Round – Number 196 and Number 200 (coming from the Eagles in the Jordan Howard trade).
Seventh Round – Number 226 (coming from the Raiders, still from the Khalil Mack trade), and Number 233.
General Manager Ryan Pace has his work made easier. Because of these picks, he has made this line up that has no roster needs. His move on trading with the Raiders in the Khalil Mack trade on the first and third rounds has been excellent, which can also be said on their trade with the Patriots in the David Montgomery trade back in the fourth round.
This can also be said as a way to balance things out since they have to pick up a compensatory pick in the fourth round as they lost more than what they gained in free agency.
Late Round Prospects
To make the game more interesting, Ryan Pace needs to have good picks, which can spice up the games and provide competition to the other teams.
Here are two late-round prospects who are considered value picks.
Omar Bayless
Omar Bayless is a good potential for a late-round steal. Hailing from the state of Arkansas, Omar can be placed as another strong wideout at the opposite of Allen Robinson. Even though a lot of teams have been gunning from players with high mobility, Omar Bayless can be considered a complete package. He stands at 6 foot 1 and is currently weighing 212 pounds.
His speed might be 4.62 and is not something that can top the best, but this setback is outweighed by his other strength, which is the ability to catch. Last season, he caught 93 passes that are measured as 1653 yards with 17 touchdowns last season.
Dalton Keene
Trey Burton stepped back from playing last year due to his health condition. Even then, if he is back in 100% condition, he will be an excellent pick for the Chicago Bears. With his loss comes Jimmy Graham, which just signed a two-year contract with the team.
There are a lot of big names in the line up this 2020, but if they are willing to give some rookies a chance, a good pick would be Dalton Keene.
Dalton Keene is a product of Virginia Tech, and as a player, he is versatile. Keene’s physical prowess isn’t that great when you look at it, but if you watched his previous games, you could see his effort in putting 110% of his performance in every game. Keene’s number might be disappointing to you, but this is because he isn’t usually used as a focal point in the offense.
With his three seasons at Virginia Tech, he got 59 receptions within 27 games with 784 yards and 8 points. Even then, he lined up almost everywhere in the Virginia Tech Hokies. He also has a lot of experience in the backfield and the in-line.
Takeaway
The Chicago Bears draft picks for the NFL 2020 are mostly excellent except for a few setbacks, especially with the free agency. Even then, if they set their sights at the prominent players in the other rounds, they can fortify their plays and possibly, even be winners overall.
