5 best picks from Day 2 of the NFL Draft: https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2016/04/29/draft-5-best-picks-from-day-2-of-the-nfl-draft/

 

1. Jonathan Bullard, DE, Chicago Bears

The Bears plucked good players all night and Bullard is a player we saw as a borderline first-round talent. He led the nation with a +51.5 grade against the run, using great instincts to feel and defeat blocks. He did most of his work on the inside at Florida, but he’s not a classic defensive tackle and he’s versatile enough to play up and down the line of scrimmage. Bullard’s best role is likely on the outside on early downs where he can match up with tight ends and offensive tackles while trying to get the most of him as a pass rusher on the interior in nickel situations. That’s the part of Bullard’s game that needs to improve and likely forced the drop to Round 3, but he has the athleticism and block-destruction skills to develop into a solid pass rusher at the next level.

 

4. Cody Whitehair, OG, Chicago Bears

Is he a guard? Is he a tackle? Is he a center? It really doesn’t matter, Whitehair can put on a blocking clinic no matter where you line him up. At Kansas State he was an offensive tackle and finished the season with the highest grade of any tackle in the FBS. What really stands out is Whitehair’s snap-to-snap consistency. His hands and feet are in perfect position play after play after play, and it leads to a lot of searching to find any rep where he is beaten cleanly. His pass and run blocking grades were both among the top five for the draft class at tackle.

Based on the roster, I think the Bears best OL is:

 

LT- Leno, LG- Whitehair, C- Slauson, RG- Long, RT- Massie

 

You don't see either Larsen or Ramirez getting a starting gig ahead of Whitehair?

Posted
Final draft board before the draft on PFF had Whitehair ranked 17th, Floyd at 19th and Bullard at 33rd.

 

And we also got 2 extra picks out of all that LOL

Yeah. There seems to be a lot of good value coming up with their 3 4th rounders. If that TE (Adams) keeps sliding, I'd pounce on him with one of those picks.

That interior seems like it could be really strong. Not too sold on Leno or Massie.

Yea Leno and Massie will be average, but both have upside still, and that interior would be elite. I'll take it. Larsen or Ramirez could still beat out Whitehair, but we have nice depth. Grasu can live in the weight room this season and not even get close to the field.
