6. Tavon Young, Free Agency

Tavon Young could have been higher, but has a big lingering question holding him back right now. He has a list of serious injuries that have held him back and effectively ended two of his entire seasons early.

Beyond those seasons come other injury red flags. It is why the Ravens moved on from a player with high upside, and why the Chicago Bears were able to bring him in cheap.

When Tavon Young is on the field, he is a great slot player. He knows his role well, and sticking in the slot he does not see the size disadvantage nearly as often.

A healthy season from Tavon Young would turn the slot into one of the Bears’ worst positions on defense into one of their best. There are enough questions from Young to keep him this low, but the upside could easily make him one of the five best additions they made.
