10 best Chicago Bears draft picks of the Ryan Pace era

6. Jaylon Johnson, 50th overall

Jaylon Johnson is entering his third NFL season. With that in mind, it is clear that he is one of the players that could easily climb the list. Still, through two years the second-round pick has certainly been one of the biggest hits for the Chicago Bears.

As a second-round pick expectations were for him to be a starter, and he proved that by week one of his rookie year, having a strong game in his first career start as well. From there, he has been a trusted corner and has stepped into the role as the top cornerback on the team.

He has already beat the expectations of a 50th overall pick and now has a chance to prove himself even more in the new scheme. There has been some talk about the new coaches not being as high on Johnson as the old regime.

Still, the talent on the field has shown, and while his second year was more of a plateau than an ascension from his rookie season, the ability to take that step forward is still there. Do not be surprised if he ends up being one of the three best Ryan Pace draft picks in a few years.
