While they added safety and linebacker help with Coby Bryant and Devin Bush, the Bears have three clear needs. Defensively, the Bears desperately need more help at edge rusher, and another interior pass rusher would be a nice addition as well. But, on offense, the Bears need some offensive line help with a shaky left tackle room.

That's why Peter Schrager of ESPN is projecting the Bears to draft a massive offensive lineman out of Alabama with their 25th overall pick in his latest mock draft. Bears projected to draft Alabama OT with 25th pick "Proctor is a mass of humanity," Schrager writes. "He weighed in at 358 pounds at his pro day - but he can move.

If he keeps his eight down, Proctor has as much upside as any tackle in this class. And frankly, I think he is going earlier than No. 25.
