9. Chicago Bears: OL Paris Johnson — Ohio State
Paris Johnson Jr. has been the nation’s best offensive lineman. The Ohio State standout started his career at right guard, but has since made the move to left tackle which will surely boost his NFL stock. Johnson Jr. did not allow a sack or get flagged for a penalty all season. In fact, Johnson Jr. hasn’t been responsible for allowing a sack since 2020.
Chicago’s rebuild will include the need for an NFL-ready tackle. The Bears allowed nearly 60 sacks last year — a number which cannot be sustainable if they expect to keep Justin Fields healthy.
