2015 NFL Mock Draft 4.0 – Bears Recap

Round 5:

142.) Chicago Bears – DE Leterrius Walton, Central Michigan

The Bears added a couple 5-tech DEs in free agency, Ray McDonald & Jarvis Jenkins, but have no depth at the position. At 6-5, 315 Walton has the prerequisite size for the position and has gotten significantly better every season at CMU. The size, strength, and athletic ability are there for Walton to develop into a starting 3-4 DE and there is no one better than new Bears DC Fangio to unlock his potential. It may take a year before Walton sees the field but he has more upside than a typical 5th rounder.
