Bears free agency: Ranking new additions by PFF grades
The Chicago Bears made it a priority to shore up the trenches in free agency, and they did just that through some big trades and signings.
The Bears overhauled the entire interior offensive line with the acquisitions of guard Joe Thuney (via trade with the Kansas City Chiefs), guard Jonah Jackson (via trade with the Los Angeles Rams) and center Drew Dalman (via free agency). Chicago then turned its attention to the defensive line with the signings of defensive tackle Grady Jarrett and defensive end Dayo Odeyingbo.
They also added some depth to skill positions, including signing tight end Durham Smythe and wide receivers Olamide Zaccheaus and Devin Duvernay.
With that in mind, here's a look at the Pro Football Focus grades for each of Chicago's new additions:
