Kevin Johnson out of Wake Forest, & Alex Carter from Standford is another I like as well

For those who understand 3-4 defenses, have a clear understanding that the Jack OLB or more modern Hybrid LEO LB, Nose Tackle & CB are vital pieces to a having a strong 3-4 or Hybrid. You must have two CB's that are both capable of playing sufficiently in zero coverage technique with no help over the top from the safeties.
Johnson isn't going to knock anyone out of their shoes when he tackles, or blow anyone away as a run defender. He's a wrap up tackler but he makes the play. However I believe that he plays off coverage, & man coverage down the field as well as any CB in this draft, if not the best. He sticks to his man like glue. IMO he is the best pure 3-4 cover CB in this draft & I would love to have this kid on the outside opposite Fuller for the next 4+ years. Unless this kid climbs the boards, which wouldn't shock me at all, I think he'll be a steal outside of the first round.
So far two defenders I really hope to see the Bears draft are:
OLB/DE: Alvin Dupree
&
CB: Kevin Johnson or Alex Carter
I really hope the Bears draft both Dupree & either one of the two CB's mentioned.
