3 positions Chicago Bears must watch in the Senior Bowl
The Chicago Bears had a unique experience for the Senior Bowl. Luke Getsy got to coach, and Ryan Poles joined Matt Eberflus on the field throughout the week. Other coaches and scouts were in attendance, and with names such as Braxton Jones and Velus Jones being Senior Bowl standouts last year, you have to imagine this week is big for the Bears brass.
Different years produce different talents, and this draft also has his pockets of talent. Which positions dominated the most at the Senior Bowl, and could hold some of the best talent?
3. Chicago Bears must be all over the defensive line
This was a trench week at the Senior Bowl, and this is where the team should focus their attention. Luke Getsy handled the coaching, Dave Borgonzi was the linebackers coach. Still, it does give the Bears a coach on the field for all the defensive drills. Who should he have had his eye on?
On the National team, talent such as Nesta Jade Silvera stands out from Arizona State. He transferred from Miami, and he was feisty all week. The Northwestern lineman Ade Adebawore had a strong week as well, and with his position versatility, many want to see where he winds up.
Keanu Benton from Wisconsin is more in the mold of a nose tackle with some pass-rushing upside. This could be a great fit for the Chicago Bears, who were awful against the run, and lacked the nose power. Zacch Pickens from South Carolina was an athlete that offensive linemen were praising after practice each day, as well.
Beyond that are the edge rushers, K.J. Henry, from Clemson, has the size, and an arsenal of moves, but he needs to iron out a lot of his game. Can he flash? Keion White was a big name entering the week, and had his moments, but did he live up to the hype? Isiah Foskey from Notre Dame had a great week and did live up to the hype, now he may be able to finish.
On the American, team is Byron Young from Tennessee, and Will McDonald from Iowa State. McDonald may be one of the biggest winners of the week and may be able to cap it off with a strong Saturday.
Either way, from the edge to the nose, the Chicago Bears have plenty of names to watch.
