6th Round, No. 201: EDGE Trevis Gipson, Tulsa

The Bears need help at two of the most important positions this offseason: Quarterback and pass rusher, and both are likely to be addressed. While there aren’t any questions surrounding superstar edge rusher Khalil Mack, it’s the guy lining opposite him that’s of concern. Leonard Floyd hasn’t lived up to expectations — especially when it comes to producing sacks — and it wouldn’t be the biggest surprise if Chicago decides to pull Floyd’s fifth-year option. Although, they still seem to be pretty high on Floyd.

The Bears could turn to the NFL Draft for some help opposite Mack, and they could find it in Tulsa edge rusher Trevis Gipson. Gipson certainly helped his draft stock at the Senior Bowl, where he flashed his ability to get after the quarterback. Over the last two seasons, Gipson has 12 sacks and seven forced fumbles, and perhaps he can get production opposite Mack that Floyd can’t seem to get.
