Chicago Bears trade up in Round 2 for tackle Teven Jenkins

<p>LAKE FOREST, Ill. &mdash; The Chicago Bears are in a trading mood: They moved up in the second round of the NFL draft Friday night to take Oklahoma State right tackle Teven Jenkins with the 39th overall pick.</p>
<p>The Bears had traded up to select quarterback Justin Fields in the first round and this time traded up with Carolina to pick one of the nation’s higher-ranted run blockers. </p>
<p>The Bears traded away their second-round pick at No. 52, the 83rd pick in Round 3 and their first pick in the fifth round (No. 204) while obtaining Carolina’s round two pick and a fourth-round slot (No. 151).</p>
<p>Jenkins, who is 6-foot-6 and 317 pounds, was part of the offensive line which helped Chuba Hubbard lead the nation in rushing in 2019.</p>
<p>The Bears did not retain free agent right tackle Bobby Massie and used right guard Germain Ifedi at the position last year after Massie suffered a season-ending knee injury. They have both Ifedi and Elijah Wilkinson as potential right tackles besides Jenkins.</p>
