Report Reveals Ryan Pace Absolutely Crushed The 2016 NFL Draft

-

With all the questions surrounding the future of the Chicago Bears, everybody should feel comfortable knowing they are in good hands. The general manager, Ryan Pace, has been indirectly credited with absolutely demolishing the 2016 NFL Draft now that the season has ended… and it’s time to give some credit where it’s due.

When the Bears initially concluded their draft last April, the grades were good. NBC ranked every pick a “B” or better, ESPN had a lot of good things to say and NFL.com gave Chicago a solid “A-“. It was no secret that the arrow was pointing up for a lot of the young talent the Bears acquired.

This was good news for the youngest GM in the NFL because the seventh overall pick from the year before and his first with the Bears, Kevin White, was sidelined once again this season with an injury. Pace was brought to Chicago after being a former director of scouting for New Orleans, his eye for talent was the reason he was hired. White hasn’t helped Pace’s cause much,  neither did a handful of free agents that initially failed but last year’s draft sure did.

After the final games of the regular season concluded, Pro Football Focus released a report that basically told everyone it’s time to start taking Pace very seriously.
