Chicago Bears Mock Draft: The Stars Align

Just a couple months ago P.J. Williams was a shoe-in to go in the 1st round. A big corner who can smother receivers in press coverage but also a kid with maturity issues. He plays with tons of swagger and confidence but also has trouble controlling his consistency on the field and his decision-making off it (arrested for DUI). Most see him as a future starter at free safety given his mix of speed and tackling ability. If he’s there in the 3rd, the Bears would get a steal.. Cornerback. Florida State. P.J. Williams. 71. player. 57

player. 57. Vic Fangio has proven himself as a solid developer of talent, especially when it comes to the linebacker position. So a project like Max Valles is right up his alley. The Virginia product is a classic 3-4 outside linebacker with size, length and tons of athleticism. What he lacks is technique understand and a feel for the game. That stems from a lack of experience. Not only can he bend and get around the edge but he’s strong enough to hold the point against the run. Also has some of that J.J. Watt instinct for deflecting passes.. Linebacker. Virginia. Max Valles. 111
