The Bears fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-. Whoever sat across the table from the Bears should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The Thomas Jr. steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Yurosek has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.
Bottom line, with Bralen Trice leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Bralen Trice
In the Round 1 slot they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick22
Rnd1
JC Latham
In the 22nd overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick23
Rnd1
Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka in pick No. 23 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick55
Rnd2
Cooper DeJean
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cooper DeJean. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick83
Rnd3
Jackson Powers-Johnson
They jumped the gun on Jackson Powers-Johnson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The roster fit checks out.
Pick85
Rnd3
Brian Thomas Jr.
Value with a capital V on Brian Thomas Jr. in pick 85, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick86
Rnd3
Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell at slot 86 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick87
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in No. 87 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick104
Rnd4
Danny Stutsman
Nothing to complain about; Danny Stutsman went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick132
Rnd4
Jamari Thrash
They took Jamari Thrash at par in the 132nd pick, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick141
Rnd5
Luke Lachey
No edge and no loss on Luke Lachey in No. 141; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick182
Rnd6
Christian Mahogany
They paid sticker price for Christian Mahogany in the 182nd overall pick, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick198
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Oronde Gadsden II at the Round 6 slot. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick225
Rnd7
Benjamin Yurosek
Benjamin Yurosek at slot 225 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
