The Bears are projected to have seven draft picks — which includes a fourth-round compensatory selection for Adrian Amos — and it’s likely that they’ll use at least one of their selections to bring in an offensive lineman. If the Bears are looking for a plug-and-play guard with starting potential, they should look at Georgia lineman Soloman Kindley.

Kindley, who is projected to be a first or second round pick, is athletic in pass protection and a powerful run blocker, something the Bears could benefit from as they look for a solution to their run game woes.
