Kyler Gordon NFL Draft photo
The Bears needed a CB and get their man early in RD2. Kyler Gordon is the second Washington Corner selected in this draft after Trent McDuffie went to Kansas City in RD1.

Gordon is just under 6ft and doesn't have elite speed, but he's a baller and has a shot to be a week-1 starter.

CHI g LAC (K Mack)
A second new piece arrives for Chicago's secondary in the space of 10 picks. Penn State's Jaquan Brisker is an athletic and versatile safety and a good value pick at #48.

Brisker should push for playing time early next to Eddie Jackson. Safety wasn't the biggest need for the Bears, but good players are always welcome.

Velus Jones Jr. NFL Draft photo
Velus Jones Jr. joins Chicago undermanned receiving corps and brings a bagful of intriguing talents. Jones is an excellent returner, but has the size and speed to become a valuable, and productive, weapon in Chicago's offense.

Jones needs some work, but the potential is there. Ryan Poles is doing a good job, so far, addressing the team's major positional needs.

Reach/Value (R/V) Explained
The difference between where a player is selected in the NFL draft versus where the player was listed on the final Drafttek Big Board for the season in question.
Example: A player who was listed at #50 on the Big Board and was selected at #35 will be a "Reach" of -15. Alternately, a player listed at #35 on the Big Board who was selected at #50 is a +15 "Value".

Simply put: a positive number is a Value pick, a negative number is a Reach.
