Jalen Redmond finds himself going to the Windy City with the 136th pick (Round 5 – Pick 1).

Redmond is an explosive defensive tackle with a good instinct for making plays. He’s a high-motor player and will find himself on the Bears 53 man roster come September. Redmond will excel at defending the run in the league by utilizing his extraordinary leverage abilities and high motor. It’ll be great seeing the next great Chicago defensive tackle being a Sooner again.
