Bears Draft: Edge Rushers & Defensive Gold

0:00It's April 24th, I'm Cory with the story, and this is NFL News Today, Football News powered by AI. Bear Spans, with their first pick tonight at number 57 in the second round, the top edge rushers like Jermon McCoy and Colton Hood are already off the board. But don't sleep on some solid value, play still hanging around, especially on defense where Chicago needs held bad. As like Gabe Jocka's, bring heavy hands and quick get off speed, perfect for holding the edge and run defense under coordinator Dennis Allen. Then there's Grayson Halton, a 300-pound interior beast at 6 foot 3 who could fix that weak pass rush from last year. Against doubles and disrupts plays, these picks would hit hard on a defense rank 26 against the run, sparking real excitement among fans tired of watching teams gash them up. In the middle, Halton's the type where landing him makes the whole draft feel like a win already.

1:00Moving to pick 89 or later in the third, keep eyes on Dejon Stribbling, a speedy 6 foot 3 receiver with 4.36 speed. Who catches everything clean? Corner, Dailin Everett, with his 4.3840 at 6 foot 1, mirrors top press guys, in versatile linebacker Kyle Lewis-Shades. Save these skills for scheme fits. Magging any of these turns, a late round haul into defensive gold. Setting Chicago up to compete now while building that trench warfare edge, Allen, Craves.
