Bears' Eddie Jackson: Selected by Chicago

Jackson was selected by the Bears in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL Draft, 112th overall.

Analysis:

The former Alabama safety suffered a broken leg in his senior season, which caused him to miss the final seven games of the season. When healthy, Jackson had some issues in coverage and he was occasionally iffy in terms of tackling in open space. Still, Jackson comes from a strong background as a leader in the back end of the Alabama defense for his final three seasons. He'll likely see the field primarily as a special teamer early in his career and he'll add depth at free safety behind Adrian Amos.
