Bar for Morgan who I've heard very little about this class does look like it could turn out nicely. Super early obviously but we've got nice looking potential in three areas of need (QB, TE and FS) plus Cohen is the change of pace back we've been after.
Of course they all might still bust out, QBing is hard, Jackson might not be able to tackle, Cohen is tiny... but I'm liking the draft more now than I did in the immediate aftermath.
Predict the most productive 2017 Bears draft pick this year

Agreed. This is the least disappointed I've been after a draft in a while.malk wrote:Bar for Morgan who I've heard very little about this class does look like it could turn out nicely.

Hoge’s 10 Bears Things: Catching Up With Ryan Pace’s Third Draft Class
Ryan Pace’s third crop of rookies just feels like a bigger deal, mainly because he essentially bet his job on Mitch Trubisky back in April. But the swirl of criticism Pace saw during the draft didn’t just stop with Trubisky. He was also widely criticized for using three of his five picks on small school guys and another on a safety with a rod in his leg — the only defensive player he picked in what was considered a deep defensive draft.
But know this: there’s been a quiet confidence permeating from Lake Forest since draft weekend. It’s not just the front office that is excited about this group of rookies. John Fox loves them too. In fact, the entire coaching staff does.
So while you might read this in Athlon Sports Pro Football Preview magazine — “Despite GM Ryan Pace’s protestations to the contrary, the Bears are unlikely to get much immediate help from this draft class” — the reality is likely much different. In fact, even with Trubisky set to “redshirt,” it would not be surprising to see three of the Bears’ five draft picks play major roles as soon as Week 1.
