While I like your mock draft 1.0 selection of Caleb Farley at cornerback in Round 1, I think Matt Nagy is under too much pressure as the offensive guru he was hired to be not to do everything he can to improve the side of the ball that has been abysmal for so long. I think the strategy should be to use the first three picks on OT, WR and CB in that order. Offensive tackle first since the Bears have been totally inept running the ball except against the worst teams in the league. Teven Jenkins or Jalen Mayfield should be available and would be a huge boost for David Montgomery in the running game and much-needed pass protection for Andy Dalton/Nick Foles. I’m not too worried about the Germain Ifedi investment. He’ll likely get plenty of playing time somewhere on the line and can push others on the roster. I’m thinking either Rondale Moore, Elijah Moore or D’Wayne Eskridge will be available at No. 52, and pairing any one of them with Allen Robinson and Darnell Mooney would provide the big-play ability this team has been lacking. At No. 84, take the best outside cornerback available like Eric Stokes or Paulson Adebo to provide competition for Desmond Trufant and the other CBs on the roster, hoping that Trufant can stay healthy. I say don’t waste a top-three pick on a QB that won’t help in 2021 like Kyle Trask or Kellen Mond. Instead, take a flier on Jamie Newman in the fifth round, as he should be available. He has bigger upside with his dual-threat ability but may take a couple years to develop. What do you think of this strategy? — Dan G., Phoenix
