Chicago Bears 2015 NFL Draft: Grading The Picks

106. player. 57. It’s not a surprise the Bears went running back in this draft. Matt Forte turns 30-years old in December and is in the final year of his contract. They needed depth and insurance behind him considering the limited tape they had on his current backup, Ka’Deem Carey. Jeremy Langford is an interesting choice. A cornerback and wide receiver when he first arrived at Michigan State, he found a home at running back where his speed (4.4/40) and soft hands as a pass catcher really became an asset for the team. His toughness and strength are still up for debate, which may limit him to a 3rd down role.. Running Back. Michigan State. Jeremy Langford

player. 57. The mark of being a successful safety in the NFL rests on knowing what the opposing team is going to do before they do and then getting into position to make a play. Adrian Amos has the intelligence, instincts and athleticism to do that. He has the look of a prototypical free safety. What seems to have people so wound up about him is the fact he’s not overly physical. His tackling is subpar. Granted that can be a problem, but in this pass-happy league it will be his ability in coverage that wins the day.. Safety. Penn State. Adrian Amos. 142

TCU. Tayo Fabuluje. 183. player. 57. If you haven’t read up on the fascinating and inspiring story of TCU tackle Tayo Fabuluje, you’re missing out. The young man is an inspiration. He put his football career on hold when his mother got arrested and he worked three jobs to secretly house and support his sister. When things settled down, he steadily worked himself back into shape and earned his starting stripes for what was a dominant TCU team in 2014. Talent-wise he easily looks like a bookend at right tackle but that depends on his technique development and weight control (350 lbs at present). Worst-case scenario is the Bears kick him inside to guard where his standout power will help them get back to running the ball.. Offensive Tackle
