3rd Round, 64 overall // DT Zacch Pickens, South Carolina
This is possibly my favorite selection in the entire draft. Zacch Pickens is the 3-tech defensive lineman that this defense needed. His ability as a pass rusher is evident when you watch his tape, even though his sack numbers won’t show it, and he’s a monster in the run game.
I think his game will translate perfectly to the NFL, and even more in the Bears scheme.

He’s quick, agile, and a massive interior force standing at 6’4, 290 pounds. I just love this pick, and wasn’t expecting him to be here at this point in the draft. He just looks like a Chicago Bear and I’m quite excited to watch him in camp and see how he develops.
