Eric Edholm's Commentary
The first pick for new GM Ryan Poles is a long corner who fits the mold that his former team (Chiefs) typically has. The Bears could use a receiver, but the value here for Gordon is good; he wasn't going to last much longer. Gordon needs refinement but has starter potential in time.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
Passing on a receiver signals they're not as enamored with the options as fans might be. Brisker can be a good-to-very good safety — tough and instinctive — once he absorbs an NFL defense. New head coach Matt Eberflus now has two nice pieces in his secondary, even if other holes need plugging later.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
Jones turns 25 in a few weeks, which turned off some teams. But he's a compact, physical receiver who was used as a jack of all trades for the Vols. His shocking 40 time (4.31) shot him up draft boards, but Jones remains unrefined and might need some touches schemed up, a la another former Tennessee star in Cordarrelle Patterson.
