The Chicago Bears completed their trio of Day 2 picks in the 2023 NFL Draft with yet another defender. General manager Ryan Poles continued to fortify the defensive line, selecting South Carolina defensive tackle Zacch Pickens with the No. 64 pick.
Pickens was the second defensive tackle the Bears took in the draft, joining Gervon Dexter Sr. out of Florida. He totaled 42 tackles last season (four for a loss) and 2.5 sacks with the Gamecocks. In addition to Pickens and Dexter, the Bears also took cornerback Tyrique Stevenson from Miami (FL) in the second round as the other selection of the day.
