2. Ruke Orhorhoro, DT, Clemson
Another position of need is Ruke Orhorhoro. Orhorhoro is a stud defensive line prospect from Clemson. He is a three-year starter for the Clemson Tigers. Orhorhoro would primarily play the three-technique, and he is the best trait is his ability to shoot gaps and get upfield.
He struggles with leverage at times and can get pushed off of his blocks, but he brings plenty of upside. The Bears drafted Gervon Dexter and Zacch Pickens last year, but Justin Jones is gone, and they did not replace him. So, the need is there, even if it is not significant.
The Bears did not see enough from Dexter or Pickens to trust them to move forward as the primary starter. Matt Eberflus has been adamant that he needs a three-technique to penetrate the gap and get upfield.
So, while the team has taken their chances, they also need to make sure they have the answer, and that is not solved yet. Do not be surprised if the Bears take another chance here. Beyond that, if Orhorhoro fell to this point, it would be hard to say that he is not the best player available. Do not be surprised if the Bears draft Orhorhoro.
