The Chicago Bears pick DE Corey Wootton in the 4th round
The Bears have picked DE Corey Wootton with the 109th overall pick (4th round) of the NFL Draft. Wootton was projected to be selected in the 1st or 2nd round by most experts but he didn’t look good last season as he still appeared to be favoring his right knee in which he tore ligaments in 2008. He does have great size at 6’6″, 272 pounds and he runs a 4.8 40. If Wootton’s knee is o.k. now the Bears got a absolute steal here. Wootton played in 13 games (11 starts) for Northwestern last season and he had 21 tackles, 6 tackles for a loss, he had 4 sacks, 1 forced fumble and he recovered 1 fumble. Wootton played in 53 games (47 starts) at Northwestern in which he had 128 tackles, 38 tackles for a loss, 19.5 sacks, he batted down 8 passes, forced 3 fumbles and he recovered 3 fumbles. I really love this pick for the Bears.
