Chicago Bears Post Draft Safety Review
by Parker Hurley5 hours agoFollow @parkerhurley
Now that the 2018 NFL Draft has come and passed, what does the Chicago Bears safety room look like?
Adrian Amos
Eddie Jackson
Deiondre Hall
The depth behind this duo is young but questionable. Hall missed most of 2017 due to an injury, and when he was cleared, John Fox started Chris Prosinski over giving the young up and comer meaningful snaps. It will be interesting to see what they have in Hall.
Deon Bush
DeAndre Houston-Carson
Houston-Carson has seen the field even less than Bush. He has more special teams upside in his profile, but between the three, they will be looking for improvement anywhere. It is an open competition for a direct backup to Jackson and Amos.
Nick Orr

The Chicago Bears found something in their safety duo last season. Therefore they did not feed the position much this offseason. How do they look in 2018?
It felt as though Amos finally was in a role that was right for him and his fit beside Eddie Jackson was like a glove. The two formed well together, and it was easily the best season of the career of Amos. Now the team is hoping that they can only grow on that connection.
Eddie Jackson came out as an older prospect with an injury but he is turning into a solid value at his draft slot. He is going to enter his second year as the starter. He is not the strongest tackler but has good range, ball skills an understanding to stay in position.

Deon Bush
Bush has been decent on special teams and below average on defense in his limited experience over the past two seasons. Bush has good size but has not shown enough yet. Year three will be a big one.

Nick Orr
Nick Orr
Orr is an Undrafted Free Agent from TCU. Football runs deep in his family and he is a smart player in the back end. However, he lacks speed and athleticism and will have to live in the box in the NFL. Still, he can make noise against the three above due to his special team’s value.
