Chicago Bears Loves Tight Ends: They Draft Notre Dame TE Cole Kmet!

Once again the Chicago Bears show how much they love their tight ends, and yes it sounds completely sexual, but this is about the NFL. Today the Bears selected Notre Dame tight end Cole Kmet with the 43rd pick in the 2020 NFL Draft Friday night. Read on…

CelebNSports247.com reports that Notre Dame tight end Cole Kmet has proved himself to be one of the best choices for the 2020 NFL Draft the Bears made a point to say they’ve been watching.

What is interesting is that Cole Kmet is a really good tight end and could have gone in the first round during a normal year, but he ended up with a pretty absurd pick by the Bears.

Mostly because the Chicago Bears were not in need of another tight end.

TheBigLead weighed in with this:

The Bears signed Jimmy Graham to a two-year, $16 million deal this offseason and had eight other tight ends on the roster right now. They now have 10 tight ends on their roster. The Bears had major needs at cornerback, safety, offensive line and receiver. They did select Utah corner Jaylon Johnson with the 50th pick, but that still leaves four other major needs that they could have filled at 43.

I just don’t get it. Kmet is a really nice tight end who can help their offense. But with so many holes and $16 million tied up in Graham, it’s puzzling. This is the same front office who spent a second-round pick in Adam Shaheen in 2017 and has still not figured out how to use him. While Shaheen has battled injuries, he’s only posted 26 receptions in 27 career games.

Again, this just doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. The Bears can’t seem to decide what kind of team they want to be. That’s how you end up with 10 tight ends on your roster.
