April 30, 20169 yr comment_158098 NFL.com grades have been pretty damn consistent with the spot players are being drafted. It makes me feel good to think Pace is finding value. Below are the averages of all picks, and the value of the Chicago pick(s). The ones that are highlighted are the highest rated pick in the respective round. Other than the 4th round, the Bears are easily above the average. RD 1: AVG-6.27, CHI-6.5 RD 2: AVG-5.86, CHI-6.1 RD 3: AVG-5.53, CHI-6 RD 4: AVG-5.42, CHI-5.1, 5.2, 5.4 (AVG-5.23) RD 5: AVG-5.29, CHI-6.1 RD 6: AVG-5.22 (through 15 picks), CHI-5.5 Report
April 30, 20169 yr comment_158105 Yeah I noticed that NFL.com grades were much more accurate this year than I can remember in previous years. Kwiatkoski (5.1) and Bush (5.2) were our lowest graded players and no player was shorter than 6'0". Report
April 30, 20169 yr comment_158143 Here were the picks and full grades: 1. Leonard Floyd - 6.5 2. Cody Whitehair - 6.19 3. Jonathan Bullard - 6.08 4. Nick Kwiatkoski - 5.19 4. Deon Bush - 5.27 4. Deiondre Hall - 5.43 5. Jordan Howard - 6.1 6. Deandre Houston-Carson - 5.56 7. Daniel Braverman - 5.47 Average - 5.75 (that is the average grade of the 56th player in the draft). Essentially we drafted, on average, all players from the late second round. Report

Essentially we drafted, on average, all players from the late second round. That's BPA and impressive just from talent perspective in the late rounds. I felt for sure we'd take a TE in the 7th Rd.

May 1, 20169 yr comment_158216 Drafting 101: Would you rather have Tavon Austin in 1st Rd http://stlouis.cbslocal.com/2013/04/25/ram...on-austin-at-8/ http://www.nfl.com/draft/2013/profiles/tav...stin?id=2539336 .... or Daniel Braverman in Rd 7? http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/profiles/dan...rman?id=2556144 Austin is a little quicker and faster but neither of these guys will ever be a #1 or #2 WR.
