The Chicago Bears made their second selection of the 2023 NFL Draft Friday night at 53rd overall.
After going offensive line in the first, it appears they went to the other line and selected Florida defensive tackle Gervon Dexter.
Matt Eberflus and Ryan Poles finally got their 3-technique defensive tackle.
Here’s what Twitter had to say.
The Bears have their three-technique defensive tackle: Gervon Dexter Sr., Florida.

Bears take an athletic DT. Makes sense given the need to build along the line. Centers still out there… https://t.co/XJ1RwnQ3fJ

Seems that some were a little lukewarm on the pick...
Don't love it but the #Bears get their 3T. https://t.co/ld6N8pjW6c

But then again, some of our staff are Gator fans.
I’m settling in and just managed to catch this. I love this pick for the #Bears.

And, no, it’s not because I’m a Gators fan. https://t.co/xjCcMVMmwj
#Bears take Florida DT Gervon Dexter at No. 53. Nice upgrade for the defensive line.

Really wanted Adebawore or JMS, but Dexter’s far from a bad pick here. Explosive DL who upgrades a massive need up the middle.
Gervon Dexter!! Love the pick.

He can play 3T and 1T, super versatile is almost perfect from a traits perspective, just a little raw. https://t.co/glkYhgg6T4
Gervon Dexter is powerful young man that can collapse the pocket and can play off blocks. I don’t he’s played his best football yet. I like the pick. #Bears

And now the Bears have traded up so I have another pick to write up. So this is one is short.
