Bears' Zacch Pickens: Added by Chicago in third round
Rotowire
The Bears selected Pickens in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 64th overall.
Pickens (6-foot-4, 291 pounds) is big by defensive end standards but light compared to most tackles, making him a bit of a tweener who might fit best in odd-numbered fronts. Pickens' production was lacking at South Carolina otherwise, but his 4.89 40-yard dash and 116-inch broad jump indicate uncommon disruptive potential for one-gap tasks.
