28. Ryan Pace, Bears
When you are a general manager, you pass on great players. That is part of the deal. You would still rather be known for the picks you made than the ones you didn’t. So is life for Ryan Pace after he traded up for Mitchell Trubisky. As Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson have ascended to the top of the NFL, Pace has tread water in the middle. His one year in the fast lane, 2018’s 12-4 campaign, brought Khalil Mack but mortgaged future assets. The Bears have been limited to just 12 total draft picks over the past two years, zero of which came in the top 40. That is no way to build a roster without a franchise quarterback. Things have scarcely been better in free agency, where Pace backed up the Brinks truck for 30-something veterans Robert Quinn and Jimmy Graham. A pass rusher coming off an 11.5-sack effort is one thing. But a tight end who looked dead legged for a division rival last season? Mystifying. Meanwhile, Pace neither spent nor drafted to address his troublesome offensive line. Even for the best GMs, building a roster is more art than science. Through six years, Pace has yet to paint a pretty picture.
That's 28th place out of 30 GMs, and while it's just his opinion... I have a hard time disagreeing with it.

It's an opinion...not an analysis based on a comparison of a body of work in the draft.

Personally I don't care about where Pace is ranked by people. I just want to see the guy figure out how to build a good offense to go with the great defense he has assembled. He gets an A+ from me for what hes been able to build on defense. But the offense has been a total fail. Each year I hope we see a turn for the better. I honestly thought last year was going to be the year we turned the corner on O. And then we witnessed a really really really bad spectacle on offense... just a clown show. It looks to me like Pace can't draft offense. That's a problem. He's got to do better in the draft with the offense if he's going to be a solid GM in the NFL. Otherwise he's just like Angelo or Emery to me. A guy who couldn't get it done in Chicago.
I get a little tired of this narrative that Pace can't draft offense. Lets look at the picks:
Kevin White - gone Hroniss Grasu - gone, but was a solid starter before injuries hurt him Jeremy Langford - gone Tayo Fabuluje -gone Cody Whitehair - regarded as one of the best young centers in the league Jordan Howard - gone, but some on here tried to compare him to Zeke Elliot and was a solid starter Daniel Braverman - everybody's favorite camp hero!(gone) Mitch - jury is still out Shaheen - gone Tarik Cohen - one of the most explosive players in the game and a major part of the offense and special teams Jordan Morgan - playing in the CFL James Daniels - starter at guard, only let up 1 sack last season and not that I put much into it, but his pff grade was 5th among left guards Anthony Miller - injuries have hampered him, but he shows promise to be an impact player Javon Wims - has flashed in limited opportunities David Montgomery - did a lot with little help up front, we'll see if he can take the next step this year Riley Ridley - Shows promise, we'll see how he advances this season Kerryth White - gone
So let's see, out of 17 picks he got 7 solid starters or better. Now I don't have the time to go through every other teams picks, but 7 out of 17 is a 40% hit rate on offense. Here is an article from 2018 ranking teams draft hit rates...I think some of you will be surprised: overthecap.com/looking-at-nfl-draft-success-since-2015/
3yrs ago? You mean 2 seasons ago? Bc last season team was 8 and 8 and the season before was 10+ and atop the div.
Regardless team reporters are saying even a bad season he is likely safe, the team is overall happy with him.
I think he is safe. I think most GMs and HCs are gonna get a "Corona-pass" for this season. It's gonna take something pretty awful to get a GM/HC fired at the end of this season unless he was already firmly on the hot seat to begin with.
Regardless, Ryan Pace has sucked hard on offense during his tenure here thus far and denying the obvious doesn't change that. The recent events with Shaheen remind people and, unless he turns it around big time this season, Trubisky will be another huge reminder next spring when he's let go in FA.
he was safe prior to the corona issue. ya he needs to improve, stating what everyone knows in exaggerated terms doesn't help your thoughts.
