Grand theft in No. 222: the Bears steal Smith and grade out a A-. The rest of the league will want that one back. Ainias Smith tumbling to the Bears in pick 222 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.
Reaching for Jurkovec left real value on the table behind him. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
In the end it comes back to Graham Barton, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Graham Barton
In pick No. 27 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value.
Pick53
Rnd2
Terrion Arnold
Terrion Arnold in the Round 2 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick69
Rnd3
Ladd McConkey
Fair-plus on Ladd McConkey, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick72
Rnd3
Jack Sawyer
Jack Sawyer at No. 72 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick99
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
They did well to land Dominick Puni in pick 99, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick101
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
No edge and no loss on Braelon Allen in Round 4, Pick 1; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick105
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
They paid sticker price for Matt Goncalves in slot 105, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick108
Rnd4
Cam Hart
A tidy little value on Cam Hart in the 108th overall pick, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick113
Rnd4
Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson in Round 4, Pick 13 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick118
Rnd4
Tory Horton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tory Horton in pick No. 118. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick128
Rnd4
Max Melton
A quiet steal in No. 128: Max Melton for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick142
Rnd5
Nehemiah Pritchett
They took Nehemiah Pritchett at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick149
Rnd5
Isaiah Adams
Isaiah Adams at pick 149 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick153
Rnd5
Blake Fisher
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Blake Fisher in the 153rd overall pick, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick155
Rnd5
Mike Sainristil
A reasonable price with a little left over, Mike Sainristil in slot 155. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick158
Rnd5
Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at the 158th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick160
Rnd5
Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander at pick No. 160 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick165
Rnd5
Jack Nelson
A reach for Jack Nelson in the 165th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick183
Rnd6
Tyler Batty
A tidy bit of business in Round 6, Pick 8, where Tyler Batty graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick192
Rnd6
Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. in pick 192 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick199
Rnd6
DeWayne Carter
Nothing to complain about; DeWayne Carter went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick214
Rnd6
Duce Chestnut
Good price on Duce Chestnut in the Round 6 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick222
Rnd7
Ainias Smith
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 222nd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick226
Rnd7
Isaiah Williams
Value with a capital V on Isaiah Williams in No. 226, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick229
Rnd7
Phil Jurkovec
They left a pile of value on the table to take Phil Jurkovec this early at the Round 7 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick239
Rnd7
Reuben Fatheree II
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Reuben Fatheree II at Round 7, Pick 19. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
