Chicago Bears end up with seven top-150 picks in this 2022 mock draft

Staying with defense, the Bears keep it in the secondary and draft one of the most impressive physical specimens in the class. We don’t even have a graphic for Sam Houston State, but Zyon McCollum is the type of player to put his school on the map.

McCollum stands 6-foot-2 and weighs 202 pounds. He has absolutely ridiculous length, with a 74-inch wingspan. This kid also possesses incredible speed, being able to hang with just about anybody.

Even though he’s a fourth-rounder, McCollum could come in and start next to Jaylon Johnson right away. His ability to go after the football and show his true ball-hawking skills makes him worthy of getting on the field right away.

One of the reasons he will slip a bit is due to his lack of functional athleticism. He could afford to loosen up a little bit and improve his overall reactionary athleticism. He is also not as good in man coverage, but with the Bears probably playing a lot of zone, this could work to his strengths.

Overall, McCollum is a worthy draft pick. He plays physically. He plays aggressively. His effort is exactly what Eberflus wants to see, and under his leadership, McCollum could become a big-time steal.
