In order to get back into contention in the NFL, the Bears are going to need to hit on draft picks.
So far, so good according to one list.
Pro Football Focus ranked the Top 10 rookies around the league throughout 2016 and two Bears made the cut — running back Jordan Howard at No. 5 and center Cody Whitehair at No. 9.
Howard — a fifth-round pick — finished as PFF's seventh-highest graded running back on the season despite not being a focal point of the Bears offense for the first three games.
