5 players the Chicago Bears should consider trading back for

The Chicago Bears could target Joshua Ezeudu by trading back

If Chicago wants to add some offensive line depth via a trade-back, then North Carolina’s Joshua Ezeudu would be a sensational pick. Ezeudu would come to the Bears as yet another very versatile offensive lineman, having played both guard and tackle in the past.

Ezeudu does project best as a guard, and could even potentially be a Day 1 starter on the interior with Cody Whitehair and Lucas Patrick. If need be, Ezeudu could offer the Bears an emergency tackle as well.

At 6-foot-4 and 308 pounds, Ezeudu has good size for a guard and also offers tremendous athleticism. He functions well as a move blocker more than anything, and gets to the second level with ease. Much of his positive traits as a blocker come due to his quick, choppy feet that allow Ezeudu to move opposing lineman with power and speed.

As a pass blocker, Ezeudu could use more work on his hip movement and hand technique, but those are both very coachable traits for an offensive lineman. But, on the interior, his pass blocking would look a whole lot better than if he was forced to play tackle.
