20. Chicago Bears (via NYJ)

57. Having acquired Muhammad Wilkerson via their trade with the Jets, the Chicago Bears have their other defensive end they needed and a pass rusher who can take some of the attention away from Pernell McPhee and the linebackers.  Things have come together rather well for their front seven.  Now chances are GM Ryan Pace will look to fortify the secondary. <p> </p> <p>Having not played in a major conference, it has taken time for teams to notice William Jackson III.  Only after the scouting combine did they begin to realize this young corner may have the tools of a future starter.  Jackson posted five interceptions and 30 passes defended in his final season at Houston.  He’s tall, long, athletic and has the speed to stay with receivers down the field.  His instinct and ball skills are evident on tape.  The Bears need more playmakers at that position.</p>.
