Chicago Bears four round mock draft after blockbuster trade

No. 104 Daiyan Henley, LB, Washington State

Trading Roquan Smith was the right move for the long term, but there’s a gap inside the middle of the Chicago Bears defense. Alan Williams’ Cover-2 style defense needs an athletic linebacker. Washington State’s Daiyan Henley is the ideal fit. Henley is a dynamic inside linebacker in terms of his ability to play sideline-to-sideline. He’s a fantastic athlete who played on both sides of the ball before settling in at linebacker.

With long arms, fanatic burst, and the ability to exploit gaps Henley does a great job creating pressure. He’s a tenacious backer who is afraid of taking on blockers. There are questions about his instincts which may push him to more of an outside linebacker role. Worst-case scenario, he’s a fantastic special teams player. However, he’s an athlete who dominated during the Senior Bowl and proved he’s ready for the next level.

No. 134 Andrei Iosivas, WR, Princeton Tigers

Andrei Iosivas was a matchup nightmare for corners throughout their entire phase, using his physicality, speed, and fluid body control to separate from defenders and make big plays down the field. But that’s not all – Iosivas can also break his routes without losing any speed, making him a threat on out-breaking routes. And when he has the ball in his hands, his strength and acceleration make him a force to be reckoned with, capable of making defenders miss and racking up chunk yards after the catch.

He has the talent and intangibles to contribute right away in packages. He can push Equanimeous St. Brown for reps. And with some refinement, he could become a three-level route runner and a featured receiver in an offense that prioritizes getting the ball in his hands and allowing him to stress coverages at all levels of the field.
