Ranking the Chicago Bears Roster: 90-81
82. Jalen Dalton, NT
Jalen Dalton is a 6’6″, 300-pound UDFA from North Carolina. Dalton struggled to stay on the field at UNC, which is obviously going to present hurdles in the NFL. However, he looks like an NFL player. When he is on the field, there are flashes and spots where you can see an NFL nose tackle. Due to the limited options at the position, he sits a bit higher, but he has to prove health, and that will take time.
81. Daryle Banfield, NT
Banfield is another 300-pound defensive lineman. He does not have the big-school pedigree of Jalen Dalton, but had serious success, and stayed healthy in his time at Brown. He has Ivy League experience and will be competing for reps with Dalton one-on-one. We give the early edge to Banfield, but the best case is that one of the two catches on with the practice squad this offseason.
