FutureA-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bears and Mondon Jr.: B+. You build a draft on nights like this. Smael Mondon Jr. had no business being available in the Round 5 slot, and the Bears did the only sane thing and turned in the card.
The cost of the Lachey reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.
Pick Analysis
Pick34
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in slot 34 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick39
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at No. 39 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick55
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at pick 55 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick56
Rnd2
JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick57
Rnd2
Deone Walker
Deone Walker at the 57th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick72
Rnd3
Kaleb Johnson
Steal is underselling it; Kaleb Johnson at Round 3, Pick 8 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick121
Rnd4
Jake Majors
They barely believed it either: Jake Majors still on the board at pick No. 121. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick123
Rnd4
Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at the 123rd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick139
Rnd5
Connor Colby
This one needs a full-page explanation: Connor Colby in slot 139, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick147
Rnd5
Shemar Turner
They went early on Shemar Turner in Round 5, Pick 10, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick148
Rnd5
Jaylin Noel
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jaylin Noel at No. 148 is the proof. The roster fit checks out.
Pick157
Rnd5
Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick168
Rnd5
Smael Mondon Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Smael Mondon Jr. in the 168th overall pick, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick193
Rnd6
Luke Lachey
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Luke Lachey well ahead of where he belonged. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
