Coah233 DRAFTING FOR THEBears
Draft Grade — Bears

The Bears found their guy under center in Penix Jr.: B-. The search is over. The Bears handed the keys to Michael Penix Jr., and the whole operation now runs on his development.
The Zinter pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
The skill positions did well by the weekend.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 1st pick they get a true top target at fair value.
Pick9
Rnd1
Michael Penix Jr.
In No. 9 they get a long-term answer under center at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick75
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
A big swing on Zak Zinter at pick 75, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick122
Rnd4
Christian Jones
They paid a round early for Christian Jones in Round 4, Pick 22, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
