This pick makes him a potential day one starter alongside Kobe Bryant, bringing versatility that lets defensive coordinator Dennis Allen mix up. Coverages and keep offenses guessing. It's the Bears' first first round safety since Mark Carrier back in 1990 and their first defender overall since Rhoquan Smith in 2018. Signalling a real commitment to bolstering that secondary right now.
