Chicago Bears 2014 NFL Draft Grades


Posted By Chris Ransom


  1. Chicago Bears: Kyle Fuller, CB, Virgina Tech

    Chicago Bears Day 1 Draft Grade: (A+) Chicago signed Kyle Fuller less than a week after drafting him. The guy is a cornerback/safety with the versatility to start at cornerback or adjust to free safety. Right now, Fuller is a dime corner competing with Kelvin Hayden for the nickel job at this time. This guy could start at free safety on opening day because he has the versatility to move from corner to free safety much like 2009 first-round pick Malcolm Jenkins and will put more work into starting than the other players because Chicago signed him early. This guy had 10 pass breakups to wrap up his senior season at Virginia Tech.

Chicago Bears Day 2 Draft Grade: (A+) Usually I criticize the Chicago Bears for day 2 draft picks. I love the fact that Chicago double-dipped at defensive tackle. For starters, the Bears’ already had two premium pass-rushing defensive tackles. 2011 draft pick Stephen Paea is finally asserting himself as one of the leagues premier defensive tackles. Chicago also picked up Jereimah Ratliff. I thought they signed Jay Ratliff. That makes a difference. Now Ratliff, Ferguson, and Sutton can compete to play across from Paea. LSU develops quality defensive tackles every year and Sutton may be the biggest steal at defensive tackle outside every prospect in the first two-rounds. The other two guys will make solid defensive tackles for depth. Good job Chicago.

Chicago Bears Day 3 Draft Picks Slideshow

Chicago Bears Day 3 Draft Grade (C): Carey will be a sleeper and possibly an emerging star in the waiting behind Matt Forte in the backfield. Chicago has a track record for hitting the jackpot with rushers so Carey may do well in the Windy City. He was the top ranked RB in the 2014 NFL Draft before injuries occurred. Former Arizona TE Rob Gronkowski was in the same boat as Carey back in 2010. David Fales has to dethrone Carson Palmer’s little brother Jordan for the backup job. If he Fales, he is just a backup at best who is incapable of surpassing Cutler on the depth chart. Vereen will be a third-stringer and Leno Jr. has slim odds of making the roster. Pat O’ Donnell struggles to get punts off in time. His kicking power and kicking accuracy is lackluster at best. In the photo for Pat, you see Florida CB Louchez Purifoy nearly block his punt. You have to be concerned about how this rookie punter does.
