The Chicago Bears are never short on surprises come draft week. GM Ryan Pace has established his reputation at this point. He is never a man to sit idle. When he senses a player that he deems could be special? He's going to move up to get them. In the 1st round, he handed three extra picks over to New York to go from #20 to #11 for Justin Fields. Then he hatched another surprise by jumping from #52 to #39 for Teven Jenkins.
Few were more surprised by that second one than longtime ESPN draft expert Mel Kiper Jr. During the live broadcast, the pick was announced. After host Mike Greenberg applauded the choice, Kiper took his turn to speak. He didn't waste any time stating his genuine shock that Jenkins hadn't gone in the 1st round. In fact, he wouldn't have blinked if the Bears had taken him at their original spot of #20. So to get him at #39?
