Chicago Bears 7-round mock draft with a double trade back
By Joseph Herff
Chicago Bears Round 4 | Pick No. 103: Moro Ojomo, DL
Can't get enough defense, right? A major part of the Bears weakness for the 2022 season was their ability to generate pressure and stop the run from the inside. They desperately need defensive line help. They need both a 3-technique and 1-technique. I believe they go after a great 3T in free agency, but they can find a solid 1T in the draft.
Moro Ojomo isn't a popular name going into the 2023 NFL Draft, but he showed out at the NFL Combine. He scored a 8.46 relative athletic score and had some similar measurables to Sheldon Richardson with impressive length to pair with explosion and speed, despite being slightly undersized. He never padded the stats in college, but he saw plenty of time across three seasons at Texas.
Ojomo projects to be a 1T (if he bulks up a little more) , which the Bears desperately need, or a 3T if he can keep the weight off. Either way, he would impact the Bears as either a rotational IDL or a starter as a 1T. I believe if he bulks a bit, Ojomo can develop into a great 1T that consistently eats multiple blocks allowing the 3T to take one-on-one blocks more frequently.
