3rd Round

57. It’s not just the cornerbacks that are likely to get attention in the draft for Chicago. The safety position isn’t quite settled yet either. Adrian Amos continues to show steady progress but it looks like his best position may end up being the strong safety spot. The Bears still need a center field type on the back end who can force some turnovers. Somebody who is particularly good in coverage and is able to bait quarterbacks. <p>BYU often can churn out some high quality talent. The Bears should know. Jim McMahon came from there. Kai Nacua is a name they almost certainly are hearing about. The 6’2″ safety is emerging as one of the best ball hawks in the country. He had six interceptions last season as a junior and already has four in 2016. His instinct is outstanding and he doesn’t shirk his tackling duties. If he’s on the board here, it’s a steal.</p>. S. BYU. Kai Nacua . 4. player
