LAKE FOREST, Ill. (CBS) -- The Bears have used their three picks in the fourth round to upgrade the defense, first with West Virginia linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski at the 113th pick and then following with a pair of defensive backs.

Chicago selected Miami safety Deon Bush with the 124th overall pick, then followed three picks later with defensive back Deiondre' Hall out of Northern Iowa, a prospect who projects at either cornerback or safety.

Through four rounds, the Bears have drafted six players, with five playing defense. Chicago has selected linebackers Leonard Floyd and Kwiatkoski, defensive lineman Jonathan Bullard and two defensive backs in Bush and Hall. Kansas State guard Cody Whitehair remains the lone player selected on offense.

The Bears are slated for three more picks, one in each of the following three rounds.
