FutureB
The Bears fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B. There is conviction, and then there is this. The Bears took Zy Alexander a full 108 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Lacy. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Spending an early pick on safety with interior defensive lineman and quarterback open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.
The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.
Pick Analysis
Pick35
Rnd2
Jonah Savaiinaea
They liked Jonah Savaiinaea enough to skip the value, taking him in the 35th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick43
Rnd2
Josh Conerly Jr.
Josh Conerly Jr. in the 43rd pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick55
Rnd2
Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford in slot 55 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick82
Rnd3
Tyler Warren
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tyler Warren well ahead of where he belonged. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick92
Rnd3
Nick Emmanwori
Nice patience on Nick Emmanwori, who had no business lasting to Round 3, Pick 28. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick111
Rnd4
DJ Giddens
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for DJ Giddens. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick120
Rnd4
Keon Sabb
A want over a need in the Round 4 slot: Keon Sabb adds a safety while interior defensive lineman and quarterback keeps waiting.
Pick156
Rnd5
Shemar Turner
This one needs a full-page explanation: Shemar Turner in the 156th overall pick, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick200
Rnd6
Nic Anderson
Nic Anderson in pick 200 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick221
Rnd7
Barryn Sorrell
Value said wait; Barryn Sorrell in Round 7, Pick 7 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick246
Rnd7
Cody Simon
They reached into another round for Cody Simon, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick247
Rnd7
Zy Alexander
They left a pile of value on the table to take Zy Alexander this early at pick No. 247. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick256
Rnd7
Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy in the 256th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
