57. As Newsome did with Spence, Chicago Bears GM takes precautions with his move back from #11.  Only the risk this time isn’t off-the-field problems, but injury.  Jaylon Smith tore the ACL and MCL in his knee during the Fiesta Bowl against Ohio State <p>Prior to that he was considered the top linebacker in the country, a true all-around threat who could do anything whether it was run, jump, tackle, blitz or play coverage.  The problem now is nobody is certain whether he’ll be the same player following the injury.  Doctors expect no lingering physical effects, but the risk is still there.  If it pays off, the Bears got a future Pro Bowler.</p>. LB. Notre Dame. Jaylon Smith. 15. player
