Who have been players recently drafted with the No. 73 pick the Bears used to select Iowa State running back David Montgomery?
Duane R.

In the last 10 drafts prior to this year, three running backs have been selected at No. 73: Kenyan Drake by the Dolphins (2016), Tevin Coleman by the Falcons (2015) and Stevan Ridley by the Patriots (2011). The other seven players chosen in that same timeframe are linebacker Jerome Baker by the Dolphins (2018), defensive end Jordan Willis by the Bengals (2017), linebacker Preston Brown by the Bills (2014), quarterback Mike Glennon by the Buccaneers (2013), safety Brandon Taylor by the Chargers (2012), tackle John Jerry by the Dolphins (2010) and cornerback Derek Cox by the Jaguars (2009).
When was the last time the Bears chose two offensive players with their first two draft picks?
Dan L.
Barrington, Illinois
In running back David Montgomery and receiver Riley Ridley, the Bears selected two offensive players with their first two picks for only the second time in the last 11 drafts. The only other time was in 2017 when the Bears picked quarterback Mitchell Trubisky in the first round and tight end Adam Shaheen in the second.
