Chicago Bears look to continue successful draft, possibly trading up for defensive end

Chicago Bears may target defensive end in round 4 trade-up

It would be more than reasonable to say the Chicago Bears have had a successful draft so far. Though it could be argued they have yet to fill their biggest need (other than quarterback of course) at pass rusher. With pass-rusher talent running thin during their third-round pick at 75, the Bears decided to fill another need and bolstered their offensive line to further protect their new face of the franchise Caleb Williams. The Chicago Bears may choose to trade up in the fourth round to select a defensive end they feel confident in.

A player they may choose to target is Kansas sophomore Austin Booker who has drawn comparisons to Los Vegas Raiders star Maxx Crosby who has found tremendous success at the defensive end position playing in the NFL. During his first two years at Kansas, Austin Booker was redshirted in first and played six games as a reserve his second. In his third year, however, he was First-team All-Big 12 Conference. Big 12 Conference Defensive Newcomer of the Year. Led the team with 12 tackles for loss, and eight sacks.
