The Chicago Bears needed to find an impact player on the defensive side of the football in the first round, and they moved up two spots to select Georgia’s Leonard Floyd.
Chicago traded the 11th overall pick and one of its two fourth-round picks—106th overall—to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the ninth overall selection.
Floyd gives the Bears a young, athletic pass-rusher who can attack the quarterback and can also drop back in coverage on the outside. He will need to add some weight to his frame (6’6″, 244 lbs), but he will be expected to compete with veterans Willie Young and Lamarr Houston this offseason for the starting outside linebacker job opposite of Pernell McPhee.
With the first round of the draft in the books, the Bears will now turn their attention to Day 2. The team has seven selections remaining, and Chicago will have the 10th pick (41st overall) in the second round and the ninth (72nd overall) pick in the third round.
Just ahead, we take a look at Chicago’s updated top-100 big board, as well as make our predictions for the team’s remaining seven picks.
