In what was arguably the best draft class in the league, coach Brown was aggressive in his draft approach, trading up three times. Brown was quoted saying, “If you see a player you want, you can’t sit on your hands. You have to move up and get him.” The Bears sought out to fix their bottom 10 pass defense and picked up two top corners in Jaleel Kirby and Terrell McClellan. After acquiring three new corners this off-season, the Bears will move Patrick Peterson to FS and Amos over to SS.
