7th Round

9. player. 57. Improving in the trenches is how teams win in the NFL.  It’s just a fact.  So expect the Bears to stay focuses on their offensive and defensive lines throughout the draft.  To wrap things up they give the defense another big body in Hassan Ridgeway. <p>Texas isn’t the powerhouse it was a decade ago, but the program still churns out the occasional intriguing talents.  Ridgeway can be counted among them.  While injury and an underachieving team have masked his ability, there is no doubting the young lineman has skill.  His size and power make him steady against the run and he retains enough quickness to generate pass rush that has split more than a few double teams.</p>. DT. Texas. Hassan Ridgeway
