51st overall-Stanley Jean-Baptiste-Nebraska- Big athletic CB who can play against any large WR in the Bears division. Can and will press. Willing run defender who will make impressive tackles, but can show improper form and technique and miss tackles. is big and strong and can get bigger and stronger without losing athleticism. can play safety, and has good hands to intercept passes as he played WR early on in college.
Alternate pick-Antone Exum-Virginia Tech- Exum is a stout CB who has safety experience, and could prove to be valuable as a hybrid (CB/S). Couls play rover, or Whip as they called it at Virginia tech out of some exotic sets like the 4-2-5 gap defense Bud Foster employed at Virginia Tech. Obviously has press ability, and is highly intelligent. Ran a very good 40 despite coming back from knee surgery and may not have been 100%.
