7th Round

57. The 2017 class just isn’t the one that will solve the Bears’ problems at offensive tackle. Charles Leno Jr. and Bobby Massie aren’t stars, but they played well over the second half of the season. Both are young and on fairly cheap contracts. With an elite interior the Bears can likely survive another season with them on the edges. In the meantime they should definitely think about improving the depth behind them though. <p>Jon Heck doesn’t flash as a premier athlete but the big tackle is a determined, hard-working blocker who understands the gravity of protecting a franchise-caliber quarterback. That’s what he did for Mitch Trubisky at North Carolina in 2016. He’s had some ugly games in pass protection but is functional most of the time and stands out as an excellent run blocker. That at least would make Jordan Howard very happy.</p>. OT. North Carolina. Jon Heck . 7. player
