The Bears made their first pick of Day 3 of the draft Saturday afternoon by taking Texas cornerback Malik Muhammad in the fourth round at No. 124 overall.
They got that pick after a deal with the Panthers that shifted their fourth- and fifth-round selections. The Bears originally were set to select at No. 129 overall in the fourth and No. 144 in the fifth, but moved up in the fourth to No. 124 and slid back in the fifth to No. 166 in the trade.
Muhammad, 21, left school early to enter the draft. He had three interceptions in three seasons.
As it got later in the draft, adding a cornerback became increasingly likely for the Bears. They have Jaylon Johnson outside and Kyler Gordon at nickel, but after that it’s fairly open. Muhammad will compete against Tyrique Stevenson and Terell Smith. Both of those veterans will be free agents after this season.
Here is the Bears’ draft class so far:
Round 1, No. 25 overall: Oregon S Dillon Thieneman
Round 2, No. 57 overall: Iowa C Logan Jones
Round 3, No. 69 overall: Stanford TE Sam Roush
Round 3, No. 89 overall: LSU WR Zavion Thomas
Round 4, No. 124 overall: Texas CB Malik Muhammad
Round 5, No. 166 overall: Arizona State LB Keyshaun Elliott
Round 7, No. 239 overall:
Round 7, No. 241 overall:

The pick gives the Bears some competition for Tyrique Stevenson and Terell Smith as those two head into the final season of their contracts.
