Chicago Bears Draftwatch: 2016 Safety Prospect Darian Thompson

Chicago needs help at the safety position and they need it now. Luckily for Ryan Pace there's a ready-made solution from the Mountain West Conference waiting for him the draft. As an added bonus, he's already used to playing well in blue and orange.

The Bears depth at the safety position is anything but "safe" right now. Ryan Pace ignored the skeptics and picked a great young player out of Penn State last year in Adrian Amos. Amos started his entire rookie season and got better as the season progressed, thereby giving Bears fans their first real glimmer of hope at the position since Danieal Manning played reasonably well all the way back in 2010.
