The Chicago Bears sat the night out thanks to their acquisition of Pro Bowl pass rusher Khalil Mack, but the other NFC North teams were trying to get the right combination to close the gap between them and the division champs. Here’s what each team did last night. Detroit Lions8th overall - T.J. Hockenson, TE, Iowa: Detroit hasn’t had the best of luck with drafting tight ends, but Hockenson has all the tools to be a top flight three down player for years. Green Bay Packers12th overall - Rashan Gary, DE, Michigan: At 6’4”, 277 pounds Youth Charles Leno Jerseys , with a 4.58 forty yard dash, he has the size, strength, and athleticism to become a top tier edge rusher. He had 9.5 sacks in his three year career for the Wolverines. 21st overall - Darnell Savage, S, Maryland: Green Bay sent their first round pick (30th overall) and two fourth round picks (114th and 118th) to the Seattle Seahawks to move up to 21 for the athletic Savage. He should become an instant starter at free safety next to Adiram Amos. Minnesota Vikings18th overall - Garrett Bradbury, C, North Carolina State: Centers aren’t sexy picks, but Bradbury will be an instant starter for the Vikes and help solidify a weakness moving forward.Chicago BearsPhoto by Quinn Harris/Getty Images The first round of the draft is over, with mixed early reactions for our NFC North rivals."BEAR DOWN Charles Leno Jerseys Stitched , CHICAGO BEARS, BEAR DOWN!!!!BEARRRSSSS / FREE AGENCY / DRAFTMock Draft: Bears stick to best player available, wait to take a running back - NBC Sports Chicago - JJ Stankevitz takes a stab at who he thinks the Bears will take with their 2019 draft picks, starting with No. 87 in the third round.No extra ’19 draft pressure on Bears GM Ryan Pace?
