Chicago Bears mock draft: Full seven-round picks

Shon Coleman (6-foot-5, 307 pounds), OT, Auburn

Somehow, I do not believe the word coming out of Halas Hall that the Chicago Bears feel good with having Charles Leno protecting Jay Cutler‘s blindside.

Leno had his ups and downs in 2015, and looked shaky at times.

The Bears need to have some added depth along the offensive line.

Pace did a good job adding Bobby Massie, Manny Ramirez and Ted Larson. Massie is a right guard and the other two are guards or centers, however, so left tackle is a question.

Coleman offers the Chicago Bears a great combination of size, power and athleticism.

He is also a survivor, so he can handle just about anything that comes his way.

Coleman was diagnosed with leukemia in the spring of 2010, and he needed 30 months of chemotherapy. He was declared cancer-free in 2012, but was red-shirted so he could build his body back up.

He did so, and became one of the SEC’s best linemen, starting 25 games in the last two seasons.

Coleman is like a rock on the line. It is difficult for pass rushers to move him, and he has the upper body strength and heavy hands to punch and drive block, halting any type of momentum gained by pass rushers.

With the time away from the game, Coleman has to clean up his footwork. He also has a tendency to lunge at times. These are things that coaches can correct, and if Leno is the starter, Coleman can learn while being a backup.

Coleman is just the type of player the Chicago Bears need on the line. He has that bully mentality, and love to play physical football. Cutler will also love his mean streak.

Going through his problem, Coleman would be a great addition to the locker room. He will not sweat the small stuff that other players do. He would be a great professional and a great leader.
