Ryan Poles first draft class

There will be a lot of numbers/rankings to come for each of the Chicago Bears draftees next:

Kyler Gordon (39) second round
NFL Position ranking 6th
NFL big board player ranking 58th
NFL projected round 3rd round
Players drafted after him of the same position: Andrew Booth Jr
If you remember, Booth Jr was supposed to go in the first round but fell behind Gordan.

Jaquon Brisker (48) second round
NFL Position ranking 5th
NFL big board player ranking 40th
NFL projected round 2nd
Players drafted after him of the same position: Bryan Cook
Brisker will be one of the rare players who fell early in the draft to the Bears. Please don't take it as a knock that Poles doesn't find these early. It just means he likes what he likes.

Velus Jones Jr (71) third round
NFL Position ranking
NFL big board player ranking
NFL projected round
Players drafted after him of the same position: Jalen Tolbert

Braxton Jones (168) fifth round
NFL Position ranking 11th
NFL big board player ranking 110th
NFL projected round 3rd
Players drafted after him of the same position: Luke Wattenberg
The steal of the draft, as we all know, was Jones. Many were shocked that he was still around late, and the Bears scooped him up.
