7th Round

7. player. 57. For two years the Bears have been searching for something specific at the safety position. So far they haven’t found it. Adrian Amos and Harold Jones-Quartey are both fierce hitters who can tackle well. The problem is neither of them can fulfill the other responsibility of forcing turnovers. Combined the two of them have one interception in two seasons. Chicago really doesn’t have a true free safety. Maybe one of their rookies, Deon Bush or DeAndre Houston-Carson may yet be the answer but not so far. <p>What sticks out about Tyree Robinson at Oregon are two things. He has a nose for the football demonstrated by three interceptions last season, and he’s 6’4”. That’s not a type-o. Robinson is a definite standout when it comes to his size. It’s hard to say where he’s at given the atrocious defense he plays on but the special physical traits make him a major upside choice this late in the draft. If the mental capabilities can catch up, he’ll be quite a spectacle on Sundays.<br /> </p>. S. Oregon. Tyree Robinson
