Immediate draft grades are silly, as these players have yet to play a snap as a professional, but everyone does them, and everyone reads them. While I’m a vocally against doing immediate draft grades, my curiosity to see what the experts have to say about the Chicago Bears’ draft class leads me to search the interwebs as soon as possible. The 2016 class was Chicago general manager Ryan Pace’s first with his full scouting staff in place, and it was also the first where we got to truly see his aggressive nature. Here’s a reminder of the draft class from that season, with the five players in bold being ones that still play in Chicago. 1 (9) Leonard Floyd, OLB, Georgia2 (56) Cody Whitehair, OL, Kansas State3 (72) Jonathan Bullard, DL Youth Kyle Fuller Jerseys , Florida4 (113) Nick Kwiatkoski, LB, West Virginia4 (124) Deon Bush, S, Miami (Fla.)4 (127) Deiondre’ Hall, CB, Northern Iowa (Eagles)5 (150) Jordan Howard, RB, Indiana (Eagles)6 (185) DeAndre Houston-Carson, DB, William & Mary7 (230) Daniel Braverman, WR, Western Michigan (CFL)Hall and Howard were both traded to the Philadelphia Eagles in separate moves Kyle Fuller Jerseys Stitched , and Braverman was recently signed by the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League. That’s a solid draft class for Pace and his scouts, and Brugler gave the class a B. He tabbed Whitehair as the best pick of Pace’s class, and here’s what he said about that selection. Whitehair just made his first Pro Bowl at center last year, but early reports from OTAs has him moving to left guard. I expect him to make the Pro Bowl again at his new position, becoming the third Bears lineman to make it at two positions. He had the recently traded Howard as Pace’s best value pick from the 2016 draft. I was a fan of Jordan Howard, and I hope he does okay in Philly, but anyone that believes he’ll be their “bell-cow” is in for a surprise. The Eagles spent a second round pick on running back Miles Sanders from Penn State to help set up their own running back by committee room. Brugler had Jonathan Bullard as his biggest miss. Bullard lost playing time to Roy Robertson-Harris and rookie Bilal Nichols last year with only 28% of the snaps on defense after seeing 41% in 2017. Bullard seems to have settled into a nice rotational role on Chicago's defensive line, but he’ll never live up to the “steal of the draft” label he got by a lot of pundits after he was taken. However, does that make him the biggest miss of the class? Adam Jahns, formerally of the Chicago Sun Times, but now working the Bears’ beat for The Athletic, also chimed in on Chicago’s 2016 draft.Jahns always brings something interesting in his stuff, and bringing up how Pace snagged Floyd from the Giants is a story a lot of fans aren’t aware of. I think Floyd is going to have his best year as a pro in 2019 Youth Pat O’Donnell Jerseys , and I also think the Bears will try to sign him to a long term extension sooner rather than later. What are your thoughts on the Brugler’s grade and on what Jahns had to say? Fact: Thomas Dimitroff once killed a white walker with his hair"The Falcons shook up their fan base last night, snatching up two offensive linemen after a free agency period that seemingly addressed the exact same need. The reactions were mixed, but in short, they took an underwhelming approach to the first night of the draft. For what it’s worth, the Falcons have done a fine job retaining and utilizing their own draft picks in recent years. In fact, going into the draft last night, the Falcons ranked third in that category.What this says about the Falcons brass is up for debate. But the fact that the Falcons had more of their draft picks on their current roster than the Packers, a team traditionally heralded for building through the draft, impresses me. While there are draft picks on the roster the Falcons arguably should’ve move on from, there’s no debating the front office’s commitment to filling out the roster with their guys. The Falcons may find a way back into the second or (more likely) third rounds this evening. If you’re still reeling after last night’s shenanigans, take solace in the fact that the Falcons have a fairly good track record of building from within. We may not understand all this madness right now, but there’s undoubtedly a method underlying it.
