Beimfohr flagged Rutgers bruiser Kyle Monangai as a worthy final-round stash after Chicago waited until Round 7 to address running back. He thinks Ben Johnson will reprise his Detroit formula— let DeAndre Swift handle the passing downs while a hammer back handles the dirty work— and Monungai’s 225-pound frame plus 86.5 PFF rushing grade make him a natural Jamal Williams analogue. Because Roschon Johnson is still unproven and Swift has a long injury history, the path to early-down and goal-line touches is wider than the draft capital suggests. Beimfohr conceded seventh-round picks are roster-bubble types, yet believes the Bears’ depth chart remains so fluid that a strong camp could vault Monungai into a weekly touchdown-vulture role. He advises grabbing 2-5% exposure now before any veteran additions or preseason hype move the price.

Steve Palazzolo said seventh-round pick Kyle Monangai runs with a low pad level and is "tough to tackle," giving him a realistic chance to battle Roschon Johnson for early-down work. Palazzolo noted that Chicago waited until the final round to address running back and has already signaled—through both the draft and Ben Johnson’s usage history—that DeAndre Swift will not be a volume workhorse. If Monangai proves dependable in short yardage and pass protection, Palazzolo believes the rookie could siphon goal-line carries and 1A snaps by mid-season. That path makes Monangai a live late-round flyer in best ball drafts and a watch-list stash for redraft leagues where rushing touchdowns carry weight.
