NFL mock draft Week 17 edition: Bold trades set the tone

player. 57. <p>The Chicago Bears have improved from where they were in 2014 but they still have a long way to go before they’re ready to take on the cream of the NFC again.  A ton of roster holes still exist across several position groups.  Filling them all is going to take a lot of work for GM Ryan Pace and a great way to do that is with as many draft picks as he can get.</p> <p>One of the more problematic areas for the Bears in 2015 has been their run defense. Aside from one or two decent performances, they’ve struggled stopping the ground attack all season, allowing 124.5 yards per game. A number of positions are responsible for that but one area that is particularly weak is defensive end where they’re relying on a free agent castoff in Jarvis Jenkins and converted 4-3 defensive tackle in Will Sutton to do the job.</p> <p>That new 3-4 scheme needs more players who fit it and they could do a whole lot worse than A’Shawn Robinson. A giant who is the definition of a space eater. He not only forces blockers to deal with his size but his impressive upper and lower body strength make it almost impossible to move him off his spot.  It’s a big reason why Alabama isn’t run on by anybody this year. Throw in a sneaky amount of quickness as a pass rusher and this is a kid who will really do well in Chicago.</p>. DE. Alabama. A'Shawn Robinson. 22
