2018 NFL Draft: Bears draft Kylie Fitts at No. 181 overall

The long national nightmare is over. The Bears have finally made an investment into an edge pass rusher, drafting Utah’s Kylie Fitts with the No. 181 overall pick of the 2018 NFL Draft.

Fitts is an edge defender that fits what the Bears want for their outside pass rushers to a tee. He had some durability issues during his amateur career, which is why he slipped all the way to the sixth round. But when Fitts is on, he’s quite the dynamic pass rusher. This is a thorough upside move that could pay off with tremendous dividends.
