The Chicago Bears went back to the secondary in the fifth round and have selected Minnesota cornerback Terell Smith. As usual, there’s a lot of good info to pop up on Twitter, so here’s some of what I found there.
Terell Smith has really high level tape in 2022. One year of good play, but I think that's an excellent pick for Chicago.

He can play
Bears co-director of player personnel Trey Koziol on CB Terell Smith: "I thought with his instincts to play off the ball this year was something that made him unique with his skill set. ... I thought he showed anticipation and confidence."

Terell Smith was one of the most slept-on corners in this draft. Great pick-up by the Bears https://t.co/Rrpj2WZap4

I really like Terell Smith
And he could have stayed home -- but Vikes took that possibility off board with Blackmon in R3 and Ward in R4
Now he's off to a division rival, where he could surprise by getting on field early pic.twitter.com/VPUc10r7Ci

Smith is a long, fast cornerback who improved his physicality and flexibility during his career. It will be fun to watch him in Alan Williams' scheme. pic.twitter.com/kh3wcU4sRj
Detail: ESPN’s Matt Miller shared former #Gophers and now #Bears cornerback Terell Smith had offers to leave via NCAA transfer portal:

Quote: “PJ Fleck thought this guy was going to leave. … He didn’t do it, which speaks to maturity, leadership he is going to bring” to Chicago.
