57. Sometimes the best thing to do is not what is sexy and more what is right. The Chicago Bears aren’t in a position to take gambles. They are coming off a 3-13 season and need impact players for their roster. Players that have a reasonable chance of guaranteed NFL success. Sometimes that means picking with the head instead of the heart. GM Ryan Pace has spouted “best player available” for months and doesn’t waver here. <p>Jonathan Allen may not have blown up the scouting combine, but he prefers to do his dominating on the field. He was the spoon that stirred the pot for the best defense in college football the past two years at Alabama. A big, quick defensive lineman with superb hand technique and the strength to shed blocks. He can hold the point against the run and then deliver an effective pass rush. Team him with Akiem Hicks and Eddie Goldman and watch the devastation.</p>. DE. Alabama. Jonathan Allen . 3. player
