5th Round

147. player. 57. Depth along the defensive line should be a major topic of conversation for the Bears. The recent addition of John Jenkins was most welcome, but it still doesn’t erase the overall issue. Outside of Akiem Hicks and Eddie Goldman who will be their third guy up front in 2017? Isaac Rochell won’t win awards for his athleticism or pass rush ability, but he is a tough, determined and strong defensive lineman who plays the run well. Considering how poor the Bears are at stopping the run, this pick is a big help.. DE. Notre Dame. Isaac Rochell

7th Round

221. player. 57. At 6’8″, 295 lbs a few things are clear about Jylan Ware. He’s a big boy, but also a light one. The offensive tackle needs time to add some mass to his frame before he can take on NFL edge rushers. That being said his foot quickness and proper use of his exceptional length show he’s got serious potential as a pass protector. The trick will be adding strength and then teaching him how to anchor against bull rushers. A problem most small school tackles share.. OT. Alabama State. Jylan Ware
