The Chicago Bears did not have a first-round pick this season, as they sent it to the Oakland Raiders last summer in a trade that landed them Khalil Mack. That trade gave them the most important piece in their NFC North crown and landing one of the greatest pass rushers in the history of football is always a good move so I’ll still give them an A for the first round.
