Chicago Bears 2017 mock draft: Full seven rounds

Quincy Wilson, CB, Florida (6-foot-1, 215 pounds)

Quincy Wilson is a player who could bring back the swagger to the Chicago Bears secondary. He plays with supreme confidence, the kind that borders on cockiness. Also, his memory is short. If you beat him on one play, he’ll just shut you down on the next. He feels that any pass completed on him was by accident.

The Bears badly need a player like this.

Wilson and Teez Tabor combined to give Florida arguably the best cornerback tandem in the country. While Tabor gets all the attention as being among the top corners in the country, Wilson impresses the scouts to the point of possibly taking that title as a pro. “I think Wilson is the best corner in the country. Tabor gets all of the hype but Wilson is better in every area,” an NFL executive told NFL.com analyst Daniel Jeremiah.

One big difference between Tabor and Wilson is that Tabor doesn’t mix it up with receivers. He is an awful tackler and won’t provide much run help. He is more of a finesse-type player.

On the other hand, Wilson feels perfectly fine getting down and dirty. When a running back gets to him, he issues the punishment and doesn’t just take it. He has good size and plays a physical game. He is fearless on the field, always willing to take on the opposition’s top receiver. If the receiver can’t get off clean at the line of scrimmage, Wilson can eliminate him from the play.

This is the type of player who will bring back the excitement to the Chicago Bears defense. The team has a history of hard hitters, and Wilson can continue that tradition.
