Tight end Jimmy Graham
Judging by how the offense ran last year, it's more likely the first score will come off an extended drive rather than one big play. Once the Bears get in the red zone, I expect Mitchell Trubisky will look for Graham, the big target he was missing last season.

Tight end Jimmy Graham
Graham is a big target in the red zone. He's the perfect teacher for a kid like Cole Kmet, a big, athletic tight end. At one point, Jimmy was the best in the league, and passing that knowledge on to Cole so early in his career will pay huge dividends for the Bears.

Tight end Jimmy Graham
I feel like Graham is here to be a mismatch in the red zone and Mitch [Trubisky] will find him early and often for, hopefully, many touchdowns.

Tight end Jimmy Graham
The tight end position was non-existent for the Bears last year, and the room has completely changed with three new faces and a new emphasis/attention given to the position this offseason. Graham, Cole Kmet and Demetrius Harris all need to be factors in what generally has been a tight end-centric offense.

Recap of Week 1
Four of our six panelists, including all three of our former Bears players, have selected veteran tight end Jimmy Graham. The other two, Larry Mayer and Seth Rollins, chose wide receivers.
Wonder if our panelists know that the Bears' first touchdown of the season has come on the ground each of the past five years by five different players—Matt Forte (2015), Jeremy Langford (2016), Jordan Howard (2017), Mitchell Trubisky (2018) and David Montgomery (2019).
