The Roquan Smith was a grade A pick. I compared him to Navarro Bowman in terms of play style. Is it by accident that Vic Fangio wound up drafting both? So while Fangio got his Bowman, his Jerrell Freeman in the middle, one of the underlying impacts from the Roquan Smith is the statement is sent. That this team is ready to compete.
The team could have gone with Tremaine Edmunds. A lot of people were calling for it. The high upside linebacker compared to Brian Urlacher had to be on the Bears radar right?
