Chicago Bears 2017 NFL Mock Draft: 1st Round Maneuvering

57. Lost in the concerns surrounding the Bears pass rush is the fact their run defense hasn’t really improved that much. They’re still giving up well north of 100 yards per game. That can’t make head coach John Fox happy. Part of the reason why is the injuries in the front seven to key guys like Eddie Goldman, Pernell McPhee and Danny Trevathan. Maybe that will help, but when in doubt the best thing to do is load up on the beef. That means adding more size and strength up front. <p>Derrick Nnadi has really begun to come on of late for the Seminoles. He may not be a standout pass rush but the young man making a specialty out of blowing up run plays. Teams that try to pound it anywhere in his vicinity have limited success at best. He may not be tall but he uses his natural leverage to great effect. If nothing else he’s a solid nose tackle option who can help against the run. That said there is latent ability still to uncover if given the proper coaching.</p>. DT. Florida State. Derrick Nnadi . 5. player
