Eric Edholm explains why Bears fell out of top 10 in his NFL power rankings (Hour 2)
Q: What was your reasoning in giving your evaluation of that pick?
Edholm explains that while Xavion Thomas's speed makes him intriguing, the overall value and fit at the spot, plus how the prospect translates to NFL upside, weighed into the Bears' pick.

Interviews of the Week on 104.3 The Score: April 27-May 1

Q: Eric, what stood out most to you about the Bears' post-draft power rankings?
