Chicago continues to add to their playmaking arsenal with the younger Ridley brother."Judging by their first two selections in the 2019 NFL Draft Prince Amukamara Jersey , it’s clear the Bears had an imperative to continue adding young weapons to their deep offensive arsenal. After standing pat, the Bears have drafted former Georgia wideout Riley Ridley at No. 126 overall in the fourth round. Someone who can turn into a long-term standout if taken care of well.Let’s grade the Bears’ selection of another offensive position player. Grade: BThe only reason I don’t give Ridley’s addition flying colors is because he doesn’t address anymore pressing needs. The Bears could still use cornerback and edge depth in their pipelines. To be fair to them, at this point in the draft, their options at those positions were slim pickings. Otherwise, taking a player like Ridley in the fourth-round — someone many considered to be a second-round talent, yours truly included — is a great forward-thinking move. From bullying smaller cornerbacks and natural body control with the ball in the air, to sure hands — Ridley has every trait you seek in a bigger receiver at 6-foot-2, 199 pounds. It’s the smaller aspects of his game like an occasional lacking quickness off the line he’ll have to fix to become a major contributor at the next level. If the Bears stay patient with Ridley as he learns the nuances of the professional game, he should turn into a solid and reliable player down the line. It won’t easy to quickly integrate into a complicated offensive scheme like head coach Matt Nagy’s, but Ridley has plenty of time.Standing pat and taking Ridley was the epitome of a “best player available” selection. You don’t pick a player in the fourth round if you don’t expect them to reach their potential. A two-year starter for the Bulldogs, Ridley is the younger brother of second-year Falcons standout Calvin Ridley. An impeccable red zone threat and big play weapon (he averaged over 14.7 yards per catch) Ridley caught nine touchdowns for Georgia last season. The main difference between the Ridley brothers is that Riley is slightly worse coming out and won’t be a 45-year-old rookie. The main similarity between the brothers is that they both tested relatively poorly in pre-draft work. Other than those two notions, he’s a respectable fourth-round developmental value for general manager Ryan Pace and company. After trading up for their running back of the future in David Montgomery on Friday night, the Bears add a young receiver to mold for the long-term in Ridley. He joins a deep Chicago offensive room https://www.thebearsfanshop.com/Adam-Shaheen-Jersey , on paper, that features Montgomery, Allen Robinson, Tarik Cohen, Anthony Miller, Trey Burton, Adam Shaheen, Cordarrelle Patterson, Taylor Gabriel, Mike Davis, Marvin Hall, and Javon Wims. Talk about competition and depth at every skill position. Excuse me while I exhale. What’s intriguing about Ridley’s pick is what it potentially spells out for some of the Bears’ pricier active receivers. 28-year-old Taylor Gabriel has one more year of a sizable at cap hit at $6.5 million in 2019 on a deal signed last off-season. After next season’s conclusion, the Bears only incur $2 million in dead cap if they were to cut the smaller veteran wideout. To a lesser extent Mitchell Trubisky Color Rush Jersey , Allen Robinson also has his dead cap drop to $2 million if cut after the 2019 season. He carries a $15 million cap hit next year on a soon-to-be cap-strapped roster with extensions like Cody Whitehair and Eddie Jackson on the way. Sometimes the writing on the wall is more obvious than it seems. In my mind, the Bears are more likely to move on from Gabriel after next year and stick with Robinson for another two years given that the latter is their No. 1 wideout. Gabriel doesn’t play special teams and has more of an ancillary role. But, crucially, you can never rule out any scenario in the NFL. They don’t call the league “Not. For. Long” for nothing. The Bears are likely already preparing for a cheaper potential life after Gabriel and Robinson. When they move on is something they’ll just have to let play out. Until the Bears are forced to rectify with their pending difficult roster decisions, it’ll be fascinating to see how Nagy and his staff attempt to effectively integrate everyone on a Super Bowl contender. There’s but one ball for so many weapons on offense. It’s a good problem to have. CHICAGO (AP) — No doubt about it now, the Bears really are serious about winning the NFC North.Khalil Mack had a sack and fumble recovery, Eddie Jackson returned an interception for a touchdown and Chicago tightened its grip on the division with a 25-20 victory over the second-place Minnesota Vikings on Sunday night.Mack and Jackson led a dominant effort by the defense.

Chicago finished 10-6 that year, missed the playoffs and fired coach Lovie Smith after that season.“You’ve got to understand the situation, facing a division opponent, knowing we’re going to face them twice a year,” Mack said. “We’ve got to make that jump and you (saw) it today. It’s knowing what’s at stake. Everybody showed up ready to play.”The Monsters of the Midway simply dominated Minnesota on Sunday, taking out the defending division champions after beating three struggling teams — the New York Jets Pat O'Donnell Jersey , Buffalo Bills and Detroit Lions.The Bears also have victories the past two weeks over NFC North opponents after dropping 10 in a row against division foes.“This isn’t about proving, I don’t think for us, as much as it is about our guys just learning that they can trust one-another,” coach Matt Nagy said. “When you stick together through the highs and the lows and you work as hard as our guys do together and you listen to the coaches and the coaches listen to the players — there’s a collaboration — you then get a chance to be in a situation like this tonight, to play in front of the whole world.”Chicago suffocated the Vikings (5-4-1), with big advantages in total yards (308-268) and time of possession (34:29-25:31) even though quarterback Mitchell Trubisky had his difficulties.“They’re a good defense, but a lot of times we hurt ourselves,” Vikings receiver Adam Thielen said.The Bears were leading by eight midway through the fourth quarter when Jackson picked off a pass from Kirk Cousins that was intended for Laquon Treadwell.

It was a big improvement over the previous week, when he hit uprights four times while missing two field goals and two extra points against Detroit.“We all believed in him in the locker room,” Trubisky said. “There was never a doubt. … I’m happy for Cody. He was big-time tonight. He delivered for his team and put some points on the board when we needed them. They were crucial and he did a heck of a job.”Cousins was consistently under pressure and finished 30 of 46 for 262 yards. He threw two touchdowns in the final 4:51 and got intercepted two times.“It was a balance at times,” Cousins said. “They weren’t necessarily getting a sack, but they were affecting my arm. And at other times the protection was holding up fine and (we) were getting the ball out. I think it was kind of everything across the board. Sometimes https://www.thebearsfanshop.com/Kyle-Long-Jersey , it was a rusher on the edge, sometimes it was a rush inside, it was a game, a stunt, different things.Stefon Diggs had 13 catches for 126 yards and a TD. But the Vikings came up short after winning four of five.EARLY LEADParkey nailed a 33-yard field goal down the middle on Chicago’s first possession, drawing a loud and maybe sarcastic roar from the crowd.

That capped the league’s longest touchdown drive this season in terms of plays (13) and time (7:13).Trubisky then hit Josh Bellamy in the end zone to make it 11-0, after Chicago opted to go for two rather than have Parky attempt an extra point.Parkey nailed a 41-yarder with room to spare in the closing minute of the half to make it a 14-point game. The Vikings then drove to the Chicago 32.
