Draft Options The Bears Absolutely Must Watch For On Day 2

Cam Robinson (OT, Alabama)

The Chicago Bears Day 2 draft targets must begin and end with Cam Robinson. Why? He's the last true offensive tackle in this class who looks like a plug-and-play starter. He cut his teeth in the SEC with Alabama. Won a national championship in 2015 and was their best blocker the past two seasons. He's big, long, physical and a better athlete than people give him credit for. Enough to warrant staying on the left side, though most will state he's better off on the right. Either way he's an upgrade over what the Bears have now.

Forrest Lamp (OG, Western Kentucky)

Many are calling him the next Cody Whitehair. A former left tackle who is a good athlete and absolute technician when it comes to his fundamentals. Given how much success the Bears have had with Whitehair already, why not consider making this pick? The easy solution would be to slide him in at right guard and kick Kyle Long back out to one of the tackle spots. This way the Bears front not only gets better but also more athletic and younger. Then when Josh Sitton is done, Lamp could take over that spot and Long can move back to guard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qwU24kNKQ8

Zay Jones (WR, East Carolina)

This young man came across as one of those alpha male type receivers. Every time the ball was put in the air, he reacted as if it was his and nobody else's. Jones has good size at 6'2" and surprising speed as well as he showed at the combine. It was the Senior Bowl though where he opened a lot of eyes, making most of the major highlight reel catches. His hands are very reliable and with a new quarterback in town, the Bears have to think about getting as many quality weapons as possible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aD2X8-xjRJI

Malik McDowell (DE, Michigan State)

When a guy is compared to Ezekiel Ansah, it's time to take notice. Malik McDowell looks like the absolute ideal 3-4 defensive end. He's 6'6", 295 lbs and boasts 34-inch arms. The scariest part though? He can move with the speed and grace of a linebacker. That is what made him such a devastating pass rusher at times for the Spartans. What teams are hung up on at this point is his mind set. Some consider him lazy, leading to questions about whether he loves football. This means motivation will be key, a John Fox specialty. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4ES7tovwVE&t=21s

Tyus Bowser (OLB, Houston)

More edge rush help is never a bad thing. Bowser has quietly flown under the radar for many fans, and that's a shame. The Houston linebacker is a playmaker. Not just as a pass rusher either, which he's very good at (8.5 sacks in eight games in 2016). He's a complete football player. He knows how to read the play, close the lanes and chase down running backs. Best of all he has the awareness and athleticism to drop into coverage and pick off passes. Putting him across from Leonard Floyd would look mighty nice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvSKHeYF9C0

Sidney Jones (CB, Washington)

Teams are nervous about Washington because he tragically tore his Achilles at the worst possible time during his pro day. That's a tricky injury that is difficult to return from. When he was healthy, Jones was a lock down cornerback who could match up with any receiver he played against. He had the size, speed, agility and ball skills that made for a true cover man. Word is his rehab is ahead of schedule, but the risk is still there. If the Bears were to guess right? They'd have shutdown presence in the secondary they sorely need. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GlP-qGQxzk

Budda Baker (S, Washington)

Don't be fooled by the 5'10" size. Budda Baker hurts people. More than that he's just a damn good player. The guy has instinct running out of his ears, always around the football and a master of sniffing out screens. He can fill the box to stop the run but is just as good at staying back in coverage to make a play on the ball. Sure the size problem might come up a couple times a season, but what a team gets in return? Totally worth it. He'd be a starter right away in Chicago and a leader they need on the back end.
