Chicago Bears: Regrading Ryan Pace’s 2015 NFL Draft Selections

Overall Grade: B-

When you look at Pace’s first draft, he landed three quality starters in Eddie Goldman, Adrian Amos and Bryce Callahan. He most likely would have had four if it wasn’t for the injury suffered by Cameron Meredith.

If you ask any GM if they would be pleased with three to four starters out of one draft, most of them would sign on the dotted line immediately. Where Pace’s biggest issues were is that his misses were giant misses.

None of Pace’s other selections from this year even became contributors to the Bears in any way. When those players did play, they were a detriment to the team. If the Grasus and Langfords of the world became serviceable, Pace’s grade could have jumped to a B+ or maybe even an A-, but while he was able to land starters from this draft, he wasn’t able to build depth.

Regardless, while this draft will be remembered for the Kevin White debacle, the truth is that Pace found several solid players and some are still key components to the organization four years later. Overall, Pace’s first draft was a solid one.
