For the second time in the NFL draft, Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Pace traded up to land a top prospect at a position of need. The Bears traded up 13 spots to draft Oklahoma State offensive tackle Teven Jenkins with the 39th overall pick.

Here’s a collection of all of the grades for Jenkins from various sports outlets, and the analysts are loving this pick for Chicago.
