Twitter reacts to the Bears’ selection of CB Tyrique Stevenson

The Chicago Bears didn’t wait long to make their second pick of the night. Shortly after they selected defensive tackle Gervon Dexter Sr. with the No. 53 pick, general manager Ryan Poles traded up with the Jacksonville Jaguars at No. 56 to select cornerback Tyrique Stevenson out of Miami.

Stevenson is a physical corner who has the size to matchup with receivers on the outside. He should compete right away for the outside corner job with Kindle Vildor, while Jaylon Johnson mans the other side and Kyler Gordon plays in the nickel position. The Bears sent the No. 61 and No. 135 to the Jaguars for the selection as they continue to focus on defense.

With Stevenson in the fold, the Bears secondary becomes one of the biggest strengths of the team. Here is how Twitter reacted to the pick.
