The Chicago Bears were one of the premier pieces of last year's draft with the move up for Mitchell Trubisky.

General manager Ryan Pace and the front office's approach to the 2018 NFL draft should be more reserved by comparison, as they sit in a good position with the eighth pick and have a handful of clear-cut needs to address in a deep class.

The depth of the class could perhaps encourage more movement from the front office as it looks to acquire more assets, but nothing is going to match the move at the top of last year. That isn't meant to disappoint, though—Pace did well with the rest of his limited picks a year ago too, nabbing quality contributors such as Eddie Jackson and Tarik Cohen.

Bears fans still have it more enjoyable than most given Pace's unabashed track record of digging up unknowns from small schools. Last year, three of his picks came from Ashland, North Carolina A&T and Kutztown, so the gloves should again be off as he tries to patch holes along the offensive line and in the middle of the defense.

Let's take a look at a mock draft based on team needs and the ever-updating prospect stock market.
