Chicago Bears: Profile and Interview of Draft Target CB Isaac Yiadom

Despite the return of Kyle Fuller and Prince Amukamara, the Chicago Bears should still look to bolster its secondary in the Draft.  Boston College DB Isaac Yiadom could be a great fit.

After filling a number of holes on the offense through free agency, the focus now turns to the defense.  At the moment, the Chicago Bears own seven picks in the 2018 NFL Draft.  The expectation is they will spend the majority of those on defense.  Isaac Yiadom, the senior defensive back from Boston College would be a great addition.

Granted, the Chicago Bears resigned Kyle Fuller, Prince Amukamara, and Marcus Cooper.  However, it is still an area of need.  In today’s NFL, depth at cornerback is critical.  The “11 personnel formation” with three wide receivers, one tight end, and a running back is by far the most prevalent.  Therefore, teams need quality and depth at the cornerback position.

Isaac Yiadom would provide both.   He played all four years at Boston College, though his freshman year was primarily on special teams.  Each season he earned more playing time at cornerback.  He started all 13 games his senior season, though he had his best game against then No. 2 ranked Clemson.  He finished with eight tackles and an interception.

Yiadom is currently projected as a mid-round pick.  He could be available when the Bears select twice in the fourth round.  If so, he is someone that would certainly make sense for the Chicago Bears.  Below we take a look at his strengths and weaknesses.  We also go one on one with Yiadom to learn more about him as a player.
