Takkarist McKinley (OLB, UCLA)
Don’t be fooled by what’s seen on paper. The Bears pass rush is far from set. Leonard Floyd looks like a future stud but he suffered through multiple injuries as a rookie. Pernell McPhee has dealt with knee and shoulder problems. Willie Young turns 32 this year and Lamarr Houston tore an ACL for the second time in three seasons. Adding another young rusher is very much in the cards. Getting Takkarist McKinley outside the first round would be a boon. He showed steady improvement for the Bruins his first two years but the light went on as a senior. McKinley had 10 sacks and 18 tackles for loss in just 11 games.
