Fixed your link Braunecker is a great UDFA pickup, and has a great shot to make the roster. Very solid overall game and very smart. I heard an interview on Sirius and came away impressed.

UDFAs TE Ben Braunecker (Harvard) and LB Don Cherry (Villanova) agreed to a deals with the #Bears.

Adrian Bellard, OT, Texas State

Kevin Peterson, CB, OSU, 5.1 Draft Grade https://twitter.com/Pistol_Peterson/status/...550313260318720

I was hoping the Bears drafted him, so this is awesome, he has a shot at making the team, and if not maybe the PS.

Best backup we have had in a long time.

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.

Jeffery and White on the outside with Braverman in the slot? Based on his production and work ethic, he reminds me of Edelman.

In the 7th round no less. Pace nailed this draft.

Braverman 5.47 in the 7th.

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".

Houston-Carson, more competition in the secondary, I like it. So add: Deon Bush, S DeAndre Houston-Carson, S Deiondre Hall, CB/S to: Adrian Amos, FS Antrel Rolle, SS Kyle Fuller, CB Tracy Porter, CB Omar Bolden, SS Chris Prosinski, SS Jones-Quartey, FS Bryce Callahan, CB Sherrick McManis, CB Demontre Hurst, CB

Giants just getting us back for the Floyd pick obviously...jk.

Giants just took Adams.

Here are our offseason acquisitions so far, it is hard not to be satisfied at this point: Defense DLine: Akiem Hicks, DE Jonathan Bullard, DT/DE LB: Danny Trevathan, ILB Jerrell Freeman, ILB Leonard Floyd, OLB Nick Kwiatkoski, ILB Secondary: Omar Bolden, S Deon Bush, S Deiondre Hall, CB/S Offense OLine: Bobby Massie, OT Ted Larsen, C/G Manny Ramirez, C/G Cody Whitehair, G/T RB: Jordan Howard, RB

Vitale, Watt, or Gronkowski at FB? Adams at TE?

Howard, I will take it.

Gotta be Adams here.

Adams and Howard alone would be a steal this late.

Man we are going to have great options here in the 5th. Adams, Peake, and Howard still available for offense, Robertson-Harris, Scooby Wright, Houston-Carson, Cash on defense. We should get another solid player.

Have to get a TE. Due to lack of Kickoff distance by Gould, I was even thinking K if someone like Fairbairn was available in 6th or 7th (who was actually more accurate than Aguayo in 2015).

https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2016/...-the-nfl-draft/ The Bears had 2 of the 5 picks with their only 2 picks: 1. Jonathan Bullard, DE, Chicago Bears The Bears plucked good players all night and Bullard is a player we saw as a borderline first-round talent. He led the nation with a +51.5 grade against the run, using great instincts to feel and defeat blocks. He did most of his work on the inside at Florida, but he’s not a classic defensive tackle and he’s versatile enough to play up and down the line of scrimmage. Bullard’s best role is likely on the outside on early downs where he can match up with tight ends and offensive tackles while trying to get the most of him as a pass rusher on the interior in nickel situations. That’s the part of Bullard’s game that needs to improve and likely forced the drop to Round 3, but he has the athleticism and block-destruction skills to develop into a solid pass rusher at the next level. 2. Joe Thuney, T/G, New England Patriots 3. Chris Jones, DT, Kansas City 4. Cody Whitehair, OG, Chicago Bears Is he a guard? Is he a tackle? Is he a center? It really doesn’t matter, Whitehair can put on a blocking clinic no matter where you line him up. At Kansas State he was an offensive tackle and finished the season with the highest grade of any tackle in the FBS. What really stands out is Whitehair’s snap-to-snap consistency. His hands and feet are in perfect position play after play after play, and it leads to a lot of searching to find any rep where he is beaten cleanly. His pass and run blocking grades were both among the top five for the draft class at tackle. 5. Mackensie Alexander, CB, Minnesota

So Pace is clearly using PFF: #17 Cody Whitehair #19 Leonard Floyd #27 Jonathan Bullard #76 Nick Kwiatkowski

We traded a 6th to move up a couple of slots in the 4th, not a 7th.

That has been my view for the entire draft. We are drafting up but not necessarily taking players that are worthy. The trades just seem off.
