2. OG Robert Hunt, Lousiana-Lafayette
The first round couldn’t have worked out better for the Bears, as one of the top guard prospects in Louisiana-Lafayette’s Robert Hunt remains on the board heading into Day 2. Chicago has shown plenty of interest in Hunt, who presents as the best interior lineman still on the board. The Bears would do well to lock him up at pick 43 or 50 should he fall.
According to NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein, “Hunt is a plus athlete with a big man’s frame who could be considered at guard or tackle. Inconsistent footwork and pad level are the primary culprits when he fails to win the rep, but there aren’t any physical limitations that should prevent him from improving in both areas. Pass protection traits are present but getting the skill level up to par is going to take time. He’s a little raw but has the necessary talent to become a solid future starter at right tackle.”
