Josh Shrock of NBC Sports Chicago has compiled his draft board for the Bears:
“1. Will Anderson, EDGE, Alabama
With Jalen Carter's pro-day struggles and character concerns, Anderson should be the top player on most boards. He is a dominant edge rusher who has the look of a future All-Pro. Unfortunately for the Bears, it's hard to envision a scenario where he falls to them at No. 9. That was the risk of trading down this far.
2. Tyree Wilson, EDGE, Texas Tech
If head coach Matt Eberflus were to create an edge rusher in a lab, it might look a lot like Wilson. The Texas Tech edge rusher is long, bendy, and athletic, with a relentless motor and an 86-inch wingspan.
"He might not dominate in Year 1, but he has the highest ceiling of any defensive prospect in this class," one NFC scout told NBC Sports Chicago.
There's a slight chance Wilson is on the board when the Bears go on the clock at No. 9, but it's more likely he will hear his name called within the first seven picks.
3. Paris Johnson Jr., OT, Ohio State
Your leader in the clubhouse to be the Bears' pick at No. 9.
Johnson allowed only two sacks and 14 total pressures last season for the Buckeyes. He's 6-foot-6, 313 pounds, with 36 1/8-inch arms. Prototypical left tackle material.”
