Who do you think is the best draft pick in Bears history?

I believe that Walter Payton, Dick Butkus and Gale Sayers are the three best players in Bears history (in that order), so I wouldn’t argue with any of them being considered the team’s best draft pick. But because all three of them were top-four picks in the draft, I’m going to say that the best Bears draft pick of all time was Richard Dent, an eighth-round selection in 1983.
