The Bears fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-. The rest of the league had time to spare on Gabe Jacas; the Bears did not wait, grabbing him 47 spots ahead at pick No. 204. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.
The Delane steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up.
In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Malaki Starks
In the 28th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the back end, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick33
Rnd2
James Pearce Jr.
James Pearce Jr. in Round 2, Pick 1 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick57
Rnd2
Colston Loveland
They paid sticker price for Colston Loveland in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick80
Rnd3
Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at slot 80 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in pick 87 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick90
Rnd3
Fernando Carmona
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Fernando Carmona in the 90th pick, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick123
Rnd4
Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart in the 123rd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick137
Rnd4
Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton in the Round 4 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick155
Rnd5
Mansoor Delane
Mansoor Delane at No. 155 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick204
Rnd6
Gabe Jacas
Gabe Jacas in Round 6, Pick 29 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick241
Rnd7
Luke Lachey
A tight end of that caliber at pick No. 241 is the definition of value, full stop. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
