4th Round

What makes Ethan Pocic such a solid choice for the Bears is that he brings starting experience at every position from LSU. He’s primarily a center but he’s got the size and athleticism to play both guard and tackler. Teammates and coaches rave about his intelligence. If he can add more power to his frame and learn to play with consistent pad level he’ll find his way onto the field sooner than later. Excellent depth if nothing else.. OL. LSU. Ethan Pocic . 111. player. 57

4th Round (via BUF)

Howard Wilson . 117. player. 57. The Bears love their long corners and given the wealth of this class there is no harm in double dipping. Howard Wilson is one of the lesser talked-about names in the class. He’s a tremendous athlete with fluidity who can stick to receivers in coverage and makes plays on the ball. The problem is he’s raw. He missed 2015 with an ACL tear. He’ll require a little more development before he’s ready to take on NFL receivers.. CB. Houston
