Later Round Defensive Help

by chase17 on Feb 19, 2009 6:26 PM CST

Everyone around here seems to agree that the Bears need help rushing the passer. But there are more pressing needs on offense, so this will have to be solved in the latter rounds.

Lawrence Sidbury Jr. (Richmond)

He is a speed-rusher, who generated 4 sacks in the FCS National Championship Game. While this is against lesser competition, he has excelled against better competition. During the East-West shrine game I saw him dominate opposing tackles and get pressure, and he supposedly had a great Senior Bowl (I don't have the NFL Network). Plus, he should do well under the tutelage of Marinelli, so I think he could be a real asset.

I really can't find stats, because I guess they don't keep those in the FCS. I got one game against Virginia.

Great explosion

He could fit the mold, but he may be a better OLB in the 3-4.
