Trey Hendrickson

Defensive End, Florida Atlantic

While the Chicago Bears picked up 37 sacks last season, they could use some more youth on their defense. Trey Hendrickson, a defensive end from Florida Atlantic, should fit in well with their scheme. Whether he’s a lineman or a linebacker, he gets after the quarterback. You can never have too many guys like him. Hendrickson likely fills in as a defensive end in their system, but could also be a situational pass rusher. The Bears play Aaron Rodgers and Matthew Stafford twice a year, so adding another pass rusher makes a lot of sense.

Dede Westbrook

Wide Receiver, Oklahoma

Dede Westbrook has a lot of character concerns. He’s been involved in domestic violence incidents with the mother of his child. However, Westbrook has a ton of talent. The Chicago Bears must replace Alshon Jeffery after he signed with the Philadelphia Eagles. Westbrook has the potential to be a difference-maker. The fourth round is when the reward begins to significantly outweigh the risk. Westbrook put up some impressive numbers at Oklahoma and has excellent moves. He makes guys miss tackles and could be a huge playmaker in Chicago’s offense. Westbrook is a huge risk, but the Bears should be willing to draft him because of his undeniable upside.
