Bears selected Arizona DT Will Sutton with the No. 82 overall pick in the 2014 NFL draft.
Sutton (6-foot 1/4, 303) twice was named Pac 12 Defensive Player of the Year, finishing his career with 45.5 tackles for loss and 20.5 sacks. He played at around 275 pounds as a junior, before bulking up to 315 as a senior, and his stock took a major hit, essentially getting labeled a “fat guy.” Sutton dropped down to 297 for his Pro Day but still ran slow (5.37) and looked “pretty average,” per NFL.com’s Gil Brandt. At his best, Sutton is a three-technique gap shooter who uses his hands well and stays on his feet against the run. The Bears needed help in the defensive trenches.
