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.

Jenkins projects to step into the starting right tackle role immediately for the Bears, where he brings a nastiness to his game that this offensive line has been missing since Kyle Long.
Here’s a collection of all of the grades for Jenkins from various sports outlets, and the analysts are loving this pick for Chicago.
