THREAD: The #Bears drafted Florida DT Gervon Dexter with the No. 53 pick, giving them a much-needed upgrade for their DL.
Dexter is one of the better interior run defenders in the 2023 draft.
He has impressive grip strength and a strong anchor, as well as very good situational awareness against the run. #Bears

The sheer strength that Dexter plays with allows him to dominate at the point of attack.
He lands his strikes well and has a nice arsenal of hand techniques to stack and shed blocks. #Bears

Dexter is quick off the ball, and he tested incredibly well.
His first step is above-average for a defensive tackle, making him a valuable asset worth developing on passing downs. #Bears

Dexter’s closing speed when he gets into space is nuts.
His hand activity and power at the point of attack give him value rushing as a 3-tech or as a 1-tech. #Bears

Here’s Dexter’s #RAS card. Tested insanely well, as you can obviously tell.
I think he’s better as a 1-tech, but he’s a versatile DL who has impressive physical tools. If he can improve his pad level, he’s a long-term starter for the #Bears.
