FutureA+
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Bears. Some picks age like wine; Phillip Webb at No. 253 will need to, sitting 88 spots clear of his grade.
The Lambert-Smith pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea at No. 33 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick39
Rnd2
Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams at the 39th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick55
Rnd2
Bradyn Swinson
A premium they did not need to pay, Bradyn Swinson a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick72
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
A slide stopped in slot 72, with TreVeyon Henderson worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick84
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge is a better player than pick No. 84 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick94
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
They read the board right and Donovan Jackson was the payoff at Round 3, Pick 30. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick124
Rnd4
Oronde Gadsden II
A real head-scratcher, Oronde Gadsden II in pick 124 is miles ahead of his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick149
Rnd5
Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in pick No. 149 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick197
Rnd6
Damien Martinez
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Damien Martinez in the 197th overall pick, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick235
Rnd7
KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith in No. 235 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick242
Rnd7
Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at the 242nd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick253
Rnd7
Phillip Webb
Value said wait; Phillip Webb in slot 253 says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick257
Rnd7
Gino Garcia
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Gino Garcia. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
