The Chicago Bears should target guard Dylan Parham in the third round

Next up, the Bears could look at addressing the offensive line in the third round. Right now, the Bears have two of three starters on the interior. Cody Whitehair will play guard, although he can line up at multiple spots. Lucas Patrick, though, will start at center after coming over from the Green Bay Packers.

To get their third starter inside, the Bears could draft Dylan Parham out of Memphis. Parham stands 6-foot-3 and is a little light at around 285 pounds. But, he moves extremely well. An athletic guard is likely something Ryan Poles and Matt Eberflus is looking for, as athleticism is something they want to see in many of their newer additions.

Parham, though light, has a very strong base. His leg strength and anchor is actually elite for a guy his size. He is also very quick off the line and is often the one to get his hands on his opposing man first. Delivering that first punch is something Parham is accustomed to doing.

As someone who could add more muscle and become even more well-rounded, Parham’s ceiling knows no bounds. He should end up being a very good player in this league for a long time, and maybe it’s in Chicago.
