New Intel on Bears’ 1st-Round Pick Changes Everything

The Chicago Bears made one of the most interesting selections in the first round of the NFL Draft when they took Michigan tight end Colston Loveland on Thursday night. The pick was questioned by those who believed that Penn State’s Tyler Warren was the best tight end in this year’s class and the groans became louder as Loveland continues to recover from a shoulder injury.

But a recent development should leave Bears fans optimistic about adding Loveland and if he pans out, it could be some recent intel on the pick that could change everything.

NFL Insider Believes Multiple Teams Were Trying to Trade Up for Colston Loveland in NFL Draft

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport gave his intel on the first round of the draft during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show on Monday morning. While he confirmed that the Denver Broncos and Houston Texans were looking to trade up in the first round of the draft, he said all calls went quiet when the Bears took Loveland 10th overall.

 

“The Bears take Colston Loveland at 10 and a bunch of the calls stopped. And I was like ‘Wow, like, maybe he was the guy,’” Rapoport said. “I don’t know specifically those teams are trying to trade up for [Loveland], because I think there were some others…but like, I didn’t know this. We all thought Tyler Warren was the dude, but it seems like Loveland was [the dude].”
