We’re still over two months away from the 2020 NFL Draft, but the Bears are already projected to have one of the worst drafts in the league.
According to Tankathon, the Bears have the fifth-worst point value for their draft class in the NFL. The point value is based off the Jimmy Johnson point system for determining a pick’s value for trades.
Currently, the Bears’ draft has a point value of 984.6. Chicago has picks at 43rd, 50th, 142nd, 146th, 177th, 181st and 211th. That’s subject to change based on compensatory selections and conditional picks (for Adrian Amos and Jordan Howard, respectively.)
The Bears’ seven draft picks is more than the five they had in 2019. Chicago didn’t pick until the third round last year, when they traded up 13 spots in the third round to select running back David Montgomery.
The Bears have no first-round picks for the second year in a row (the final first-round selection in exchange for Khalil Mack), and they only have four selections in the top 150.
The four teams with worse point values include the 49ers (695.0), Rams (667.0), Steelers (550.2) and Texans (512.0).
