Draft Grade — Bears

Grand theft in slot 110: the Bears steal Sabb and grade out a B-.

Somebody in the 110th pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bears sat still while Keon Sabb, the No. 64 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. Spending an early pick on safety with running back, cornerback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. If Walker pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
They took Princely Umanmielen at par in pick 20, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick33 Rnd2 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in the 33rd overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick52 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea at pick No. 52 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick84 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in No. 84 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick110 Rnd4 Keon Sabb
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Keon Sabb adds a safety and leaves running back, cornerback and other spots untouched.
Pick116 Rnd4 Aireontae Ersery
A premium they did not need to pay, Aireontae Ersery a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in Round 5, Pick 20 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jalon Walker
A reach for Jalon Walker in slot 180; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick182 Rnd6 Tyler Baron
They read the board right and Tyler Baron was the payoff at pick No. 182. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
