Javon Wims. Unfortunately I think Miller and A-Rob will have injury problems all season and with White and Bellamy gone, it clears the way for Wims to get reps. He'll be Trubs favorite target by week 17.
I see a ton of hype about Wims but still think he's too slow and not a good enough route runner to be an every down receiver.
He's slow but I think he gets open and has great hands, not to mention athleticism. Other possible breakout players: Mike Davis. Everyone is high on Montgomery and for good reason because he will be awesome. But I see Davis spelling him and getting tough yards and goal line TDs, perhaps piling up TDs in a LaGarret Blount fashion whereas Montgomery racks up yards and catches. Also, can Roquan be considered a breakout candidate, or did he breakout already last year? Either way I see him getting better.
With a full offseason, camp, and preseason under his belt this season....I expect big things from this guy.
Anthony Miller is my pick if he's healthy. He is going to stretch the field with Gabriel, Robinson, and Cohen. In a perfect world, Adam Shaheen or some tight end. Though it’s unlikely, I’d like to see Kwiatkowski have an impact, even though he’s blocked. With the financial pie getting smaller, after 2019, a lot of contracts will be up and some cuts to vets will happen to extend Floyd, Whitehair, and a few others. A solid back up and ST, he won’t be a bear in 2020—he’s competent (albeit slow) enough to know where to be. Someone will get him. My inner meatball hopes he can have a Nick Roach impact as opposed to Brendan ayanbedejo, because being a good team losing talented players means comp picks. My inner, greedy fan wants those, because that’s how good teams sustain. Pace also can’t deal comp picks and I trust his scout acumen, so higher rounds the better.
I like Kwiatkowski as a backup that can spot start and contribute well on ST. If he had speed he'd be really good.
I picked RRH a year ago with the disclaimer that it was prob a season too soon for genuine breakout from a developmental project like him. But he made progress last season, he can play. I think this is the year we find out if he's a solid rotational guy or if he can become a true starter or maybe even more. I like his chances. Nichols or RRH breaking out and owning that other 5-tech spot would be huge because then you've got a blistering front 5. But to mention a new one for this year. I don't have enough faith to completely hang my hat on this pick cos we saw some weaknesses last season, but James Daniels taking off could be the single biggest key to this Offense exploding, after Trubisky of course. After seeing him play last year i def think they've got him in the right position now and he has the potential to be really good. RT isn't strong but everywhere else could be. If Long can stay healthy and Daniels takes off that OL as a whole looks really good. One of the better ones in the league potentially.
Marques Colston? If Wims can have half the career of that guy then that'll be a hell of a pick. The Bears have trotted out many WR's over the years that you could just see weren't going to make it. Wims doesn't look like that to me, i think he has genuine potential. But im not sure he has anyone that really believes in him tbh. He didn't even suit up far too many times last year. And then Pace goes and picks another late round WR this year. He needs to get on the field, but to do that he prob needs to work really hard and stand out in practise first.
He’s my pick because while he had a good rookie season I don’t think he’s on anyone’s radar that’s not a bears fan. This year I expect that to change. Montgomery I’m excited to see more of, but we’ll see. Preseason has been such a bigger waste of time than ever. 3 and 4s playing giving no indication of what the actual roster can do.
I like Allen Robinson. Fully recovered from the knee issue. Second season in the offense. Had a monster camp from what was reported. Multiple weapons makes it hard to double him. One thing that can hold him back is that this offenses like the one in KC and Philly are spread the ball around offenses. But I still think he can go over 1000 yards and double his TD’s from last season. Let’s face it this offense is built to put up yards and points. If Trubisky takes the next step Robinson should be the main benefactor.
