Phil Emery was a famously bad GM, fans were anxious for his departure by the time he left. A decent argument could be made that when he left, the Bears had been reduced to being one of the worst teams in professional football. However, even Emery’s tenure wasn’t a complete waste. After three years of drafting in roughly the middle of the pack (19th, 20th, and 14th), he made 20 picks. If you assess the potential of these picks according to Chase Stuart’s “expected value” chart indexed against AV, these selections carried a value of 120 points. To his (grudging) credit, Emery found a few building blocks that the next regime was able to take advantage of.
