Bears trade up with Patriots to select WR Anthony Miller

The Chicago Bears have selected wide receiver Anthony Miller out of Memphis in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft, 51st overall.

In order to select Miller, the Bears reportedly traded the No. 105 selection along with a 2019 second-round pick to the New England Patriots, in exchange for the No. 51 pick, according to ESPN's Field Yates.

Miller does a good job of separating from defenders and will be counted upon to revamp the Bears' passing attack alongside Allen Robinson.

After taking Mitchell Trubisky in the 2017 NFL Draft, Miller is another weapon for the franchise quarterback.

What the analysts are saying

• "Inconsistent hands are definitely a concern, but his ability to get open and to work all three levels of the field increase his chances for success as a WR3." - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
• "He is a crafty route runner, provides a good-sized strike zone for his quarterback, and is one of the best catch-and-go creators in this draft class, using his sudden feet, loose body control, and spatial instincts to skirt defenders." - Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout.com
