2. Jaquan Brisker, Chicago Bears Draft Pick

Seeing a center on the list is not surprising and Chicago Bears fans should be happy that overall they did add three players in the top 10 on the offensive line. Still, the thought was that the biggest additions would be in this area, and not in the secondary.

The Chicago Bears did not overpay or overdraft anyone. In letting the draft board come to you, and in not having a first-round pick, the team saw Jaquan Brisker in the second round and made the move. Safety was not the biggest need but you would be hard-pressed to say it is not a need at all.

The addition of Brisker could really help Eddie Jackson as well. Jackson has been moving into the box more and more every season, and now the addition of Brisker should mean that the team will want Jackson in the box much less. Brisker is much better in the box, and it will free up Jackson to be a free safety who roams center field.

The fact that he comes in and is an instant starter makes him an obvious candidate to be on this list. When you add in his youth, upside, and that he can make others around him better he is a great addition worth a top 50 selection in the NFL Draft.
