Chicago Bears Ranking the Roster: 65-61
by Parker Hurley6 hours agoFollow @parkerhurley

With the long wait between OTAs and training camp, it is a good chance to look into where the Chicago Bears roster stands. This series will be going into some of the top players on the roster and ranking them based on what type of impact they could have on the team.

As we get closer to the 53-man roster, we look at players 65-61.

65. Rashard Fant
Rashard Fant is going to be a UDFA to keep an eye on this summer. On the field, he is an excellent cornerback with NFL abilities. The reason he went undrafted was his size. Fant went to the combine and while he did not test, his physical traits show a player who will have a hard time finding his way into the NFL.
However, his tape gives him a great chance to come in and be competitive in the slot. He is a player who is not afraid to stick his head in there and defend the run. Fant is solid at open field tackling. He plays with an aggressive demeanor that shows bigger than his size.
Fant also shows this aggressiveness when breaking on the football. He is a smart player who can time his jumps well and can usually stick his hands in to make a play on the football.
Fant also shows the ability to blitz off the edge, something Bryce Callahan excels at.
Bryce Callahan is holding down the starting slot position, but he is signed to just a one-year contract currently. Cre’Von LeBlanc is the only true slot help behind him at the moment.
The team did not address slot until Fant. Fant’s weakness is quite known, but can translate to the slot in the right situation. It means that he could be ready to show up to camp and compete this season. While he may be a worth practice squad candidate, keep an eye on Rashard Fant and the potential growth he could have with the Chicago Bears in the slot.

64. Tyler Bray
This ranking feels low. It feels a bit unfair to Tyler Bray, and to the value of the quarterback position. However, when you really think about it, what kind of value does Tyler Bray present?
He is going to be in sweats every Sunday. If he is not, the season is likely over. Bray is going to compete for himself, but there is no competition in camp. He is going to be the third-string quarterback, and nothing he would do this summer would bump him closer to number two.
The fact of the matter is that when watching his tape, it is clear as to why he is so entrenched as the number three quarterback. It is realistic to think that if Chase Daniel were to go down, the team would be looking for outside help at quarterback-a veteran type who can jump right in before starting Tyler Bray. That is how limited this team is in terms of reliance on him.
Still, it is clear that Tyler Bray is bright. Matt Nagy likes Tyler Bray a lot. He brings something during the week that Nagy respects. Bray is going to earn his paycheck and help the Chicago Bears in his own way. However, he will never truly be in a situation where his impact will be known and valued. There are going to be players who are released who have the potential to make a bigger impact.

63. Tanner Gentry
Tanner Gentry is on the Daniel Braverman route of the NFL. In his rookie season as a UDFA, Bears Nation freaks out over the notion that he may not make the team. From there, he gets cut and signed to the practice squad.
Finally, the Bears receiving corps breaks down and the UDFA rookie gets a chance. From there, no sparks fly and Bears Nation moves onto the next craze. Sounds about right, no?
Gentry likely has a better chance this year than Braverman last year, but that does not mean much to the chances of Gentry making the roster. The fact of the matter is that the new offensive head coach did a major rehaul of the wide receiver position. They added high-end talent, and they added depth.
Gentry was struggling to make the roster with the worst corps in the NFL. Can he make it in a crowded room in year two?
He can if he makes plays like the one below.
Tanner Gentry also brings special teams value. With that, he can attempt to knock off Josh Bellamy.
Still, Bellamy currently has the edge on him there. As a depth splash player with red zone size, he sits behind Kevin White and Javon Wims, a seventh-round rookie. Unlike Braverman, Gentry could be heading to the practice squad for the second straight season. However, it is tough to project him currently making the team.

62. Dejon Allen
Dejon Allen is an interesting prospect. He was a four-star recruit in California, but turned down some decent scholarship offers to play his college football at Hawaii. That, along with a lack of size at left tackle had Allen slip through the cracks as an undrafted talent.
However, talent is absolutely there, and he was rated by Bleacher Report as the UDFA most likely to make the Chicago Bears this season.
That is because of his versatility. As mentioned, he has mainly played left tackle. However, he has played at both guard and center and projects well for each position. A theme of this list has been Matt Nagy and Ryan Pace being attracted to versatility. Dejon Allen brings it.
The fact of the matter is that this is a talented player who is listed as a tackle, but can swing inside to guard if needed. At the time being, he is competing with Bradley Sowell for a back end of the roster spot. Sowell has a very similar profile, without the projections to center.
Sowell will obviously come in with the nod to start camp. However, Dejon Allen vs. Bradley Sowell could eventually turn into and under the radar camp battle as summer heats up.

61. Patrick Scales
Along with Tyler Bray, Patrick Scales makes the list of players with better than 50% odds to make the roster, yet still outside of the top 53 players on our list. There is just only so much value one long snapper can potentially have.
Patrick Scales has been with the Chicago Bears for two seasons and is heading into year three. With that comes reliability. He has not had any gaffes or any reason for the team to ask for his release. Considering the kicker situation this team has had, his reliability should be noted (stay tuned to see if Cody Parkey cracks the top 53 players).
Still, the fact of the matter is that if Scales were to slip, the team would not be hesitant or concerned about letting him go. They would likely be able to find themselves a long snapper. Bears fans would continue to not know his name and that would continue to be a good thing for that snappers place on the team.
It can even be argued that Tanner Gentry on the practice squad is harder to replace than Patrick Scales. Still, Scales is wearing his jersey every Sunday. The team is relying on him, even if he is replaceable, and even if they are reliant on a small scale portion.
The fact of the matter is that Scales does present some value, and being a good long snapper is more valuable than rest of the names mentioned so far.
