NFL.com senior media analyst Gil Brandt published his 100 best players list before the NFL Draft, and Mike Huguenin used this list as a guide to figure which team had the best draft weekend.

The Bears had five players on Brandt’s list and according to Huguenin, the Bears had the 7th best draft class.

The Bears got five Hot 100 players, including two of the top 32 on Brandt’s list. WR Kevin White was Brandt’s No. 4 player and Chicago got him with the seventh pick. DT Eddie Goldman was Brandt’s No. 32 player, and the Bears got him with the 39th pick. Chicago also got excellent value with RB Jeremy Langford (fourth-rounder, 106th overall) and S Adrian Amos (fifth-rounder, 142nd overall).
