I mean the national media has always been horny for the Bears to be good, they just historically haven't been. It is kind of surreal because the last time I feel like people were buzzing this much about the Bears was after the Cutler trade.
I'm not a draft nut so I have little insight on players beyond about the third round, but given what Pace was able to do with the first two picks (at least on paper) it's an A+ from me.
I mean if the board falls as friendly as it did in the 1st I'm okay with it. At this point if Pace gets out of this draft with potential starters/contributers at OL/DB/WR I'll eat my hat and admit he GM'd this draft like a champ.
