THREAD: The #Bears are rolling the dice on big-time upside with South Carolina DL Zacch Pickens at No. 64.
Pickens brings serious length and good athleticism to the table as a defensive tackle.
He fits the physical mold of an Eberflus 3-technique very well, so I’m far from stunned they loved him here. #Bears

THREAD: The #Bears have given themselves a loaded secondary by drafting Miami CB Tyrique Stevenson in Round 2.
Stevenson’s physicality and patience stand out to me in man coverage.
He maintains good footwork and hand usage through a WR’s stems, and he’s combative at the catch point. #Bears

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

THREAD: The #Bears finally found their star right tackle. Tennessee OT Darnell Wright is the pick at No. 10.
Wright is 333 pounds with long arms and a nasty punch at the point of attack.
For such a big guy, he bursts well off the line of scrimmage in pass protection, too. He tested insanely well at the Combine. #Bears

THREAD: Though Mizzou WR Emanuel Hall was an UDFA for the #Bears, I see him as essentially another draft pick. Here’s why:
To paraphrase Lightning McQueen, Emanuel Hall is speed. As far as acceleration off the snap and the ability to separate from defensive backs with raw speed goes, Hall may be the best receiver in the class.
