Gervon Dexter

After having one of the weaker defensive lines in the league, the Bears made a concerted effort to address it. In addition to numerous free agent signings, Chicago used a second-round draft pick to add Dexter to the interior defensive line. As a 310-pound player, he recorded over 50 tackles in each of his last two collegiate seasons. He also showed excellent speed for his size at the NFL Combine with a 4.88 40-yard dash. He could compete for playing time with last year's starter, Justin Jones. Even if Dexter takes over the starting role, expect the team to use him in a rotation with Jones to keep both players fresh during games.
