2. Chicago Bears: Jaylon Johnson, Kyler Gordon, Tavon Young, Thomas Graham, Kindle Vildor

The debate between one and two is closer than two and three a this point. Jaylon Johnson is a player who is ascending as Patrick Peterson is starting to move down the top cornerbacks in the league.

Johnson has not been in the new coaching staffs good graces, and his second season was not as strong as his first, but his first flashed the brilliance that could make this secondary elite.

Kyler Gordon was drafted ahead of Andrew Booth, so you know the Chicago Bears like their number two more than they like the Minnesota Vikings. Tavon Young is a player who has shown more than Cameron Dantzler, but his biggest question comes down to injuries.

Things like Gordon being a rookie, Johnson not taking that step last year, and Young having his Injuries are what push Green Bay ahead of Chicago, but not what push Chicago back towards Minnesota.

Thomas Graham flashed as a rookie and Vildor started last season. The fact that he is now the number five here shows that Ryan Poles did put work into restocking this group.
