A solid draft class can change the entire direction of a franchise, and the Chicago Bears hope they can hit it big on all nine of their selections in the 2016 NFL draft.
General manager Ryan Pace talked to the media on Wednesday and discussed his draft preparation, per Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune:
At this point you just have to calm down and make the pick and have confidence in the work you’ve done. Sometimes we can have up to 10 reports on one player. So sometimes there is a lot of noise and it’s my job to kind of filter through that and take all that information—the personality test, the character, the medical, all the interviews, the workouts—and then make a decision, a final decision.
The Bears showed signs of improvement under new head coach John Fox last season after finishing the 2014 campaign with a disappointing 5-11 record under Marc Trestman. While Chicago only improved to 6-10 under Fox in 2015, the team played much better football than it did the year before.
Chicago got contributions from many of its draft picks last season, and on Thursday night, the Bears will have a chance to add another top-level prospect when they select 11th overall.
The start of the NFL draft is just hours away, so who do we think the Bears will draft with all nine of their selections?
