Predicting stats for the Bears’ 2017 rookie class

The 2017 NFL Draft has come and gone, and the Chicago Bears came away with a talented, yet puzzling haul of rookies.

Looking at their five selections, it’s apparent that general manager Ryan Pace drafted with the future in mind. Rather than sticking to his typically conservative drafting methods, Pace’s selections are mostly made up of boom-or-bust prospects. Three of his five picks come from small schools, so a sharp learning curve is likely.

This approach means that the Bears likely won't see much production out of their rookies right away. It bears saying, then, that these predictions don’t necessarily mean that I hate this year’s class.
