Grand theft in Round 7, Pick 12: the Bears steal Barrett and grade out a B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Bears were there to profit. Michael Barrett, the No. 191 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick 232.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Running back is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. 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 overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick9 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
By-the-book stuff, Olumuyiwa Fashanu at pick No. 9 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick83 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Circle this one: Kingsley Suamataia at the 83rd pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick110 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Steal is underselling it; Brenden Rice at slot 110 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick116 Rnd4 Audric Estime
Audric Estime at the Round 4 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at pick 119 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick125 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
A clean, defensible pick in No. 125 with a little surplus value in Khyree Jackson. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick146 Rnd5 James Williams
James Williams in Round 5, Pick 10 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick186 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
A tidy little value on Sam Hartman in the Round 6 slot, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick232 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Taking Michael Barrett in the 232nd pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
