(CBS) The Bears have added two more picks to their 2017 draft class, which now includes four players.
After a run of defense, the Bears moved up to the 112th pick and selected Eddie Jackson, a safety out of Alabama. In doing so, they traded a fourth- (117) and sixth-round (197) pick to the Rams.
With pick No. 119, the Bears drafted running back Tarik Cohen out of North Carolina A&T, adding depth and versatility to their offense.
Jackson recorded six interceptions in 2015 with the Crimson Tide defense. He also returned two punts for a touchdown in 2016, but suffered a broken leg on a return in October which ended his season.
Cohen, a 5-foot-6 back, is nicknamed “The Human Joystick.” He is the MEAC’s all-time leading rusher.
The Bears moved up a slot and selected quarterback Mitchell Trubisky with the No. 2 pick on Thursday, then traded dropped back to the 45th pick in Friday’s second round and selected tight end Adam Shaheen out of Ashland University.
Day 3 brings one more pick for the Bears — a fifth-round pick at 147 overall.
