Top 5 NFL draft fits for Georgia DT Jalen Carter
3. Chicago Bears
Even after trading down from the No. 1 overall pick, the Bears have positioned themselves in a solid spot if Carter were to fall in the upcoming draft. Many around the league had projected the Bulldogs defensive lineman to Chicago before the team had moved back, but an opportunity to reunite a few picks back could still be in the cards for both sides. The Bears have emphasized the 3-technique position in Matt Eberflus’ defense since his arrival, quickly trying to sign defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi during last year’s free agency window. While that move didn’t work out because of a failed physical, the Bears’ need at the position remains wide open as they search for Eberflus’ DeForest Buckner from his days in Indianapolis.
