Round 5, Pick 148: CB Arquon Bush, Cincinnati / 6’0 187 LBS
As we hit the later rounds, these selections get a little easier to make. Not so many high-risk selections taking place in the fifth round. Arquon Bush is the selection here late, the speedy cornerback out of the University of Cincinnati.
Bush was a fifth year Senior at Cincinnati last year when he had 4 pass breakups, 2 interceptions, and surrendered a QB rating when targeted of 82.6. He tracks the ball well and avoids flags at a decent rate and has plenty of experience at the collegiate level. A good man coverage corner who could provide depth for this Chicago Bears secondary and be a potential special teams addition.

He needs to bulk up a bit or he won’t be able to compete with the bigger wide receivers, and he needs to become a bit more disciplined when in zone coverage. I think he’d be a good addition to this cornerback/safety room and possibly learn from the veterans like Eddie Jackson.
