Updated Odds On Players Most Likely To Be Drafted By Bears At #3

-

Reuben Foster (100-1)

Among the Chicago Bears draft targets, he’s the most old school. Foster is probably the best linebacker in the draft. A true smart, instinctive and physical hunter. He loves to punish ball carriers who have the audacity to come in his vicinity. The Bears have lingering question marks at inside linebacker after all. Jerrell Freeman is getting into his 30s. Danny Trevathan has a concerning knee issue. Why not look for a young option like Foster to protect against a possible breakdown?

That would’ve been an interesting idea. Unfortunately Foster hurt himself with two big blunders at the scouting combine. First by getting into a heated confrontation with medical staff there, and then by failing a drug test. Add in the fact that inside linebackers don’t go in the top five of a draft and it’s just unlikely.
