Chicago Bears 2019 Mock Draft: Getting creative with the trades
By Erik Lambert
6th Round (via CIN)
Omenihu is what you’d call a project player. Size? Length? Athleticism? He seems to have all the necessary tools to be a really good football player. He just hasn’t quite unlocked the vault yet. He had a solid 2018 season with 9.5 sacks and has the ideal body type for a 3-4 defensive end. Much more so than Bullard did. He has tremendous upside worth exploring.
7th Round (via PHI)
A year ago many thought that Webster would end up being a top cornerback in the 2019 draft class. Sadly things never went that direction. Injury played its part in stunting his growth and he never really recovered. That said, this kid is a legitimate athlete with deep speed and tackling prowess. If his coverage issues could be worked through, he’d be a steal.
7th Round
Boston College has become quite a nice little breeding ground for good defensive players and Will Harris has been one of the more overlooked names. His productivity on defense was uneven in school, but he was an outstanding special teams player. That said, he has football pedigree and if given time to hone his craft can be a starter not long down the road.
7th Round (via ARI)
Perhaps one of the most perplexing prospects in the entire draft. Ivey has talent including size and some power. What he hasn’t been able to correct for a maddeningly long time is his fundamentals. They were exposed in a big way as a tackle at Florida. Still, he has the traits to be a quality guard in the NFL. Perhaps Harry Hiestand can do something with him.
