57. . Tight End. Ashland. Adam Shaheen. 7. player

The Chicago Bears have been causing angina for fans at the 2017 NFL Draft. They drafted Ashland tight end Adam Shaheen with the 45th overall pick, an unknown prospect to most.

Instead of addressing the defensive side of the ball, the Bears chose to draft a tight end. But with other tight ends like Michigan’s Jake Butt or Virginia Tech’s Bucky Hodges still waiting to hear their name called, this pick really makes you wonder.

GM Ryan Pace calls it taking the best player available but some may beg to differ. The Bears also signed former Miami Dolphins tight end Dion Sims to a three-year deal in the offseason, which makes this pick even more confusing.

In probably one of the more stronger defensive drafts in recent years, the Bears have drafted two offensive skill players, when it technically isn’t a glaring need. The final day of the draft will be interesting for them with just four picks left.
