Summary

Ohio State Defensive Tackle Kayden McDonald was at Halas Hall for a top-30 visit. Is the Buckeye a good fit for the Chicago Bears or is he a bit too one-dimensional as a run stopper? Would he be a more favorable pick in the second round as opposed to pick #25 in the 1st round? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

1:31.7

visits and people visiting House Hall ahead of the draft, it's important to remember
