3rd Round

57. Safety isn’t the only secondary position that requires attention for the Bears. Their cornerback play was far from adequate most of 2016. At least according to the standards of this staff. So it stands to reason they’ll look for help at some point in the first three rounds, hoping to find a starter and improve depth. Also as with safeties, this class is rich in potential talent so their odds will be strong. <p>Chidobe Awuzie is a name that has gotten lost in the shuffle at times this past season due to the depth of the class. Nevertheless it was his efforts that helped propel Colorado into the national spotlight most of the year as one of the better teams in the country. He’s got a good mix of size and speed that he pairs with above-average instinct to come across as a well-rounded cornerback. He covers and he tackles in the running game. He’ll fit right in.</p>. CB. Colorado. Chidobe Awuzie . 3. player
