Bears Draft WR Daniel Braverman In 7th Round

By Chris Emma--

LAKE FOREST, Ill. (CBS) -- With their final pick of the 2016 NFL Draft, the Bears have added to their receiving unit by drafting Daniel Braverman out of Western Michigan.

"This is a very special moment for me," Braverman said.

Braverman's viewed as an NFL slot receiver, a 5-foot-10 target with consistent hands and quick feet. He was the only player in FBS last season to have 100-plus catches, 1,350-plus yards and 13-plus touchdowns.

Braverman was a first-time All-MAC player in 2015. He's the third offensive player drafted by the Bears.
