NFL Mock Draft 2018: Complete first round after Week 4
57. . Cornerback. Alabama. Minkah Fitzpatrick. 5. player
Secondary will be a priority for teams in the NFL Draft. If Derwin James goes No. 1 overall, then Alabama defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick could be the next one to go. Both James and Fitzpatrick can be immediate boosts to whatever teams take them.
The Chicago Bears could really use a boost to their secondary. Prince Amukamara and Marcus Cooper are their current starting cornerbacks and neither one measures up to the talent level of Fitzpatrick.
Alabama head coach Nick Saban relies on Fitzpatrick to lead the Tide defense, and he does not disappoint. Since the Bears got their first win in Week 3, it could be a sign that they need to pick a player that could help them “win now”.
Considering quarterback Mike Glennon helped the Bears to notch their first win of the season over the Pittsburgh Steelers, in overtime, the offense could finally be moving in the right direction. Wide receiver and defense are the biggest needs with this team.
