10 best Chicago Bears draft picks of the Ryan Pace era

1. Cody Whitehair, 56th overall
While Darnell Mooney has the upside to take over the top spot if he can become a number one wideout, Cody Whitehair has the proven track record that the younger names such as Mooney, Fields, and Johnson do not have yet.
Whitehair was a second-round pick, and he lived up to the expectations of a player expected to become a starter. Whitehair started as a rookie in 2016 and never looked back.
He has missed two starts in his seven-season career. The Bears jerked him around, asking him to play center, left guard, and right guard. He never stuck around the same position long enough to hit All-Pro status at any of them, but he consistently played at a Pro Bowl level for the majority of his seven-year career.

The upside of an elite game-changer such as Fields is not here, nor is the star find of a fifth-round pick. Still, Whitehair was a second-round pick and turned into a seven-year starter. At this point that is worthy of being the top pick by Ryan Pace.
