Chicago Bears fans are gearing up for what’s probably going to be a tough season to watch. On the bright side, they’ll have a number of options to choose from with a high first-round draft pick. They could go with another defensive back to bolster their secondary, or they could focus on protecting their franchise quarterback in Jay Cutler.

There isn’t a more popular offensive lineman in this draft class than Alabama’s Cam Robinson. He projects best as a right tackle in the NFL due to his nastiness and effectiveness when blocking for his running backs. He has an ideal 6’6”, 327-pound frame that he uses to drive defenders out of the play.

Robinson is still a work in progress when it comes to pass protection, but the potential is there for the Alabama big man to become an NFL-caliber tackle. He might need some time to be a reliable blocker for Cutler, but he could help out Chicago’s ground game with Jeremy Langford and Jordan Howard immediately.
