The Bears cashed the board's mistake on Burke: A-. The real work happened on the phones. The Bears fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.
The Burke value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Spending an early pick on safety with quarterback and wide receiver open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.
Pick Analysis
Pick10
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
Dallas Turner in pick 10 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick14
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
In the 14th pick they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick44
Rnd2
Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders at No. 44 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick75
Rnd3
Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at Round 3, Pick 11 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick85
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
They took Sedrick Van Pran at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick110
Rnd4
Beau Brade
By-the-book stuff, Beau Brade at slot 110 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick121
Rnd4
Ray Davis
They paid sticker price for Ray Davis in pick No. 121, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick127
Rnd4
James Williams
They zigged when the board said zag, taking James Williams at safety with quarterback and wide receiver open.
Pick146
Rnd5
Cedric Johnson
No edge and no loss on Cedric Johnson in pick 146; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick186
Rnd6
Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at the 186th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick187
Rnd6
Jaylen Harrell
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaylen Harrell. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick192
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at the Round 6 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick199
Rnd6
Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray in Round 6, Pick 24 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick232
Rnd7
Cody Schrader
A straight-up fair deal on Cody Schrader at slot 232, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
