Bears draft SDSU tackle Zach Thomas in Round 6

The Bears added their second offensive tackle in three picks Saturday when they drafted San Diego State offensive tackle Zach Thomas in the sixth round.

Thomas, who stands 6-4, 308 pounds, started 29 games over the past three seasons for the Aztecs. In his college career, he’s played 17 games at right tackle, 12 games at left tackle and two games at right guard. He missed all but three games in 2018 because of a torn ACL in his right knee.

Thomas was generally considered a top-20 tackle in the draft. His prospects might be limited by his age, though.
