Here the the three I’m most excited to see.CDTShareTweetShareShareRanking my top 3 Bears’ rookies in terms of excitement levelPhoto by Jonathan Daniel/Getty ImagesI was surprised with how well received Ryan Pace’s 2019 draft class was on a national level. With no pick until the third round, I just assumed that we’d get a bunch of hot takes about the Chicago Bears not being able to find major contributors in this draft class, but it seems like national writers are starting to get what’s happening in Chicago. There’s still the usual clown-car of analysts that can’t let go of their biases and false narratives about Pace and the Bears, but those dopes will never go away. The NFL seems to be taking notice to what Pace has built with the Bears.Many 2019 grades came in high and a lot kudos were sent about the value garnered by, not only the five draft picks, but also the undrafted free agents that the Bears added. Now that I’ve had some time to research the Bears’ rookie class, I wanted to rank top three of the class by my personal excitement level. Lester and Jacob break down Bears third-round draft pick Marcus Cooper Jersey , Iowa State running back, David Montgomery 1) David MontgomeryI knew very little of Montgomery coming into draft weekend, because every mock draft and big board I looked at had him gone long before the Bears’ selection. I really only looked at the next tier of tailbacks that I figured the Bears would be picking either in the third round, or further down the board. I didn’t know how Montgomery would fit into head coach Matt Nagy’s system, but after a quick crash course into what he brings to the table, he has me most excited among the entire class.His ability to make defenders miss with his quickness, plus his ability to power through arm tackles with balance and power are two traits that popped off the film when I watched him play. Nagy say’s he’s a three down back in their system, and that he runs “angry,” but it’s also the intangibles that he and GM Ryan Pace talk about that puts this pick over the top for me. While I think Montgomery will eventually take over the starting position for the Bears as a rookie http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-kyle-fuller-jersey , the committee they’ve assembled at running back will keep everyone fresh all year long.2) Kerrith Whyte Jr.There’s not a lot of wiggle to Whyte’s game, but he is super fast. He looks like a track star playing football, because he’s looking for the first chance to cut up field when he has the ball in his hands. Where Montgomery breaks a lot of arm tackles with his elusiveness and strength. Whyte runs through arm tackles because he’s so damn fast defenders aren’t getting a firm grip on him. Whyte is being added to a crowded backfield, and he may not emerge as a true offensive weapon as a rookie, but Nagy will find a way to get him on the field every now and again. 3) Alex BarsBars had a knee injury cut his senior year short after just five game, so he’ll need to work himself back from that setback. If he can, the Bears may have found a potential swing guard and/or eventual starter. I know that’s not very exciting to most people, but I enjoy watching the big guys work. Bars is more mauler than technician, but he has a good anchor when he plays with his butt down Womens Bryce Callahan Jersey , and he’s also able to work his hips around to keep his man walled off from the hole. I’ve seen Bars’ stock range anywhere from UDFA to the 3rd round, so that tells me his ceiling is dependent on how he rehabs. I think a year on injured reserve could be in the cards for him. That will give him plenty of time to work with the Bears strength and conditioning program to get his body right. Plus working with Bears’ offensive line coach Harry Hiestand, who coached Bars at Notre Dame from 2014 to 2017, will add to his comfort level as he transitions to the NFL game. Now it’s your turn. Who are the three rookies you’re most excited to see on the Bears? LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP)There were no major revelations or bold proclamations from Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Pace heading into the draft.”This time of year I think it’s OK to be a little boring in these moments,” Pace said Tuesday.He’s saving the excitement for when the draft starts on Thursday.Pace has shown he’s not afraid to make a bold move to get the player he wants. And with the No. 8 pick, the Bears have a chance to land a difference-maker whether they stand pat or make a trade.Pace staked his reputation last year to Mitchell Trubisky when he traded up a spot with San Francisco to grab the quarterback he believes is the one to help energize a struggling franchise with the second pick.In 2016, Pace moved up two spots with Tampa Bay to land outside linebacker Leonard Floyd at No. 9.”I think when we identify a guy that we like – and there’s unified vision in the building of a player that we want – I don’t think we’re ever afraid to go up and get that guy,” he said.”I’d rather do that and ensure we get that guy Josh Bellamy Jersey , than he goes right before you and everybody walks out of the draft room, you know, a little bit disappointed.”There has been plenty of disappointment at Halas Hall and Soldier Field in recent years.The Bears have four straight last-place finishes in the NFC North and just one trip to the playoffs since the 2006 team’s run to the Super Bowl.Even so, they believe they have the quarterback in place to lift a struggling franchise.They’ve spent the offseason trying to surround him with the pieces he needs to reach his potential, hiring offensive-minded coach Matt Nagy to replace John Fox and signing receiver Allen Robinson.Now, they have another chance to land a major contributor. Whether they go for help on offense or a potential centerpiece on defense in the first round, Notre Dame guard Quenton Nelson and Georgia linebacker Roquan Smith would seem to fit.Pace said the Bears have identified eight players they would be comfortable taking at No. 8. None are quarterbacks, though he believes a strong class this year works to Chicago’s advantage.Pace was also asked about the decision to let receiver Cameron Meredith sign with New Orleans. The team’s leading receiver in 2016, he missed last season because of a knee injury.Because the Bears tendered him at the low restricted free agent level http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-anthony-miller-jersey , they did not get any compensation from the Saints.”Obviously he was coming off an injury,” said Pace, who worked in New Orleans’ front office before the Bears hired him as GM in 2015.”We lean on our training staff and our docs. Hey, I’ve got a lot of respect for Cam and a lot of respect for the organization he went to (Saints). We wish him luck.”Pace also said the Bears will decide whether to pick up receiver Kevin White’s fifth-year option after the draft.It seems unlikely they will, considering the West Virginia product has been limited to just five games since Chicago selected him with the No. 7 pick in 2015.”Right now it’s all focused on the draft,” Pace said. ”Then once the draft’s over, we’ll meet with him and his agent and make that decision.”—
