Today was the NFL’s fake holiday—Back Together Weekend!—and we’re “celebrating” at two camps. First up, the Bears. Here are my takeaways from Lake Forest, Ill. …
1) The Bears restocked the receiver and linebacker positions on the veteran market, with the additions of DJ Moore, Tremaine Edmunds and TJ Edwards. And they may be even deeper in those spots than they’d anticipated, with a pair of day 3 picks—fourth-round receiver Tyler Scott and fifth-round linebacker Noah Sewell—shining early. Both were way up on Chicago’s board, based on what else was available when they were picked, and both look like hits. Scott showed his speed and solid route-running, and has separated better than he did on his college tape. Sewell, who dipped a bit after a coaching change his last year at Oregon, has proven to be versatile, instinctive and fast for the position, and looks natural out there. The bigger tests come when the pads go on, but those are two to watch in the coming weeks.
