This is the perfect scenario if the Chicago Bears keep Round 2 picks
By Ryan Heckman
Kenyon Green would be the perfect selection for the Chicago Bears at pick 48
Later on in the second, the Bears pick at 48 overall. This is where they could address the offensive line with a prospect who has a somewhat murky projection.
Right now, Green is ranked as the no. 42 overall player in this year’s class according to Pro Football Focus. Therefore, it’s not crazy to think he might fall to pick no. 48. Other outlets have him as a first-round grade, and then some even have him further down than 48.
But, the fact of the matter is, Green would be the perfect plug-and-play guard for this offense. He has the prototypical NFL size at 6-foot-4 and 323 pounds, and he uses that size to his advantage.
Green is a mauler, which is the perfect type to have at guard. If the Bears need anything at the guard position, it’s someone who is a physical, nasty specimen — and that’s exactly what they’d get in Green.
While some of his peers don’t have enough upper body strength while possessing strong anchors, Green is the well-rounded guy in this group. He is thick and strong from top to bottom, and he packs a first punch.

This is a lineman who finishes blocks and holds his own in pass protection. There’s not a lot to dislike about Green, and if he’s there at 48, the Bears will have gotten a steal.
