Bears address defensive needs with Gator and Hurricane draft picks.
The Chicago Bears selected Gervon Dexter Sr., a defensive tackle from the University of Florida, with the 53rd pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Dexter fills a critical need at the three-technique position in the Bears' defense and is expected to be a long-term solution. While he has yet to play his best football, Dexter has impressive foot quickness and pass-rush potential, and the Bears' coaching staff will work on developing his discipline and consistency.
