UCLA LB Carl Jones and Illinois DT Keith Randolph to the Bears as UDFAs, per source. Jones had 5.5 TFL and 2 sacks last season.
Randolph had a 6th-round grade from Dane Brugler: 'He maintains gap integrity with his ability to lock out, track and do his job in the run game.'
Another year, another UDFA QB for the Bears. Reed had a 6/7th-round grade per Dane Brugler.
'Reed is a competitive and instinctive passer with a natural feel for where to go with the ball, although several of his physical limitations will be difficult to overcome versusNFL speed.'
New Bears DE Austin Booker had 8 sacks and 12 TFL last season. Per Dane Brugler: 'Although he is still figuring out how and when to access his bag of tricks, Booker instinctively uses his rangy frame to create various leverage points and surprise blockers with his forceful hands.'
The Bears get their edge rusher, trading into Round 5 and taking Kansas' Austin Booker.
From Dane Brugler: 'He is an ascending player with the ability to maximize his athletic traits and body length/force with proper biomechanics.'
Booker was Dane's 78th-ranked player overall.
