#14 Chicago Bears: Dominique Easley, DT Florida
Rory’s Take: The Bears did add Houston who could play some three technique, but Easley has some amazing tape. The fact he was at 85% at his Pro Day is a great sign and I am convinced he will go round one. Aaron Donald being picked will spurn this selection.
Chase’s Take: This is a risky selection for the Bears to take, but Easley would easily be in the Top 15 if he didn’t get injured while starring at Florida. Rory is going out on a limb with this, but Easley’s potential is off of the charts and other than Ra’Shede Hageman I don’t see any other DT fits with as much promise as Easley after Donald, and even Hageman has his list of concerns.
