With the 226th pick in the NFL draft, the Chicago Bears selected offensive lineman Ja’Tyre Carter out of Southern University. Carter becomes the first player from Southern to be drafted in the NFL since 2004.
Carter is an interesting draft choice with little risk. The Bears were stocking up on offensive linemen, to hopefully find one or two diamonds in this year’s draft. Even if they found one long-term starter, they’ve added some depth for the foreseeable future.
