There’s less anticipation around the Bears entering the 2019 NFL Draft than past years given their lack of first- or second-round picks, but with five selections between Rounds 3-7, there’s still a lot of important work to be done by GM Ryan Pace and his staff. There’s always a chance the team could hit on another Eddie Jackson or Tarik Cohen.

The Sun-Times hasn’t taken it easy on our draft coverage as a result, so here’s a complete tab of all our articles previewing the Bears and what they might do later this week.
