Last week, I ranked Jerry Angelo’s draft picks from 2001 to 2005. He wasn't necessarily known for his spectacular drafting while he was the general manager of the Bears, and that list confirmed it.
Very few of the players on the list went on to have long NFL careers. Even less of them were successful with the Bears.
Despite a mostly-horrid draft record, Angelo was able to put together a team that went to the playoffs in three of his first six seasons, including one Super Bowl appearance in that span.
