Bears 2016 Undrafted Free Agents

It’s almost a consensus that the Chicago Bears had a strong 2016 draft. GM Ryan Pace was able to take the best player available with most of his picks, while still filling plenty of needs for the Bears. Of course it helped that the Bears have a lot of needs, but it was still an impressive performance during the draft for the young GM.

The Bears actually had so many needs on both sides of the ball that it would have been impossible for Pace to fill them all even with nine draft picks at his disposal. There were a still a few thin positions that weren’t addressed in the draft, specifically tight end and cornerback, but Pace was able to add the top tight end and two of the top five corners among the undrafted player pool.
