Rahimi & Grote Show · 5 On It & Dane Brugler breaks down the Bears' draft class (Hour 3) · 28 Apr 2026 podcast

The ball production was good, not great in college, but somebody that matches up well physically with that size and his just general nature of wanting to get his hands dirty.

And so I think he works best from off coverage where he can read the route, read, react, go make a play.

That plant drive quickness is what you like.

And he's – the football character is really strong with him.

And so I think –

That's something that when you look at this team and kind of the guys they want on defense, I think he fits the mentality that is really important to them.

I think of that group, Keldrick Falk, probably.

I mean, he was the one of that group who actually went in the first round and he's 21 years old at 6'5", 276 and runs in the 4'6", 4'6", and has 35 inch arms.

And just there's a lot of ability there that, you know, you want to cultivate and figure out what he can be.

Of the more realistic options, probably TJ Parker from Clemson, who is one of the more well-rounded edge rushers in this group.

Now, I don't think he has this super high ceiling, but he's somebody that you add your rotation and you're getting quality reps versus the run versus the pass.

The motor doesn't quit with this guy.

I mean, there was a play late in the season on a South Carolina tape where

he's recovering a fumble 30 yards down the line of scrimmage, which I think just perfectly encapsulates his hustle and the way that he plays.

So I think that he went to the Bills.

It was the Bills' first pick, I believe, which is exactly what they needed, more edge help, somebody to add the rotation.

So I think Parker would have made sense.

Even if they grabbed him in the first round, I don't think that would have been a surprise.

But of that group, I think he's the one that I kind of like the most in terms of potential and the type of pro he's going to be.

I think in terms of head scratcher, Caleb Banks at 18.
