Best value of the weekend goes to the Bears for Taylor-Demerson: B+. The board owed the Bears one, and it paid up: Dadrion Taylor-Demerson, the No. 83 name on the board, sitting there at the 103rd pick like a gift left on the doorstep.
That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In pick 7 they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick20
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36
Rnd2
Darius Robinson
No edge and no loss on Darius Robinson in the 36th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick49
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy in Round 2, Pick 17 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick51
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ricky Pearsall. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick75
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at the 75th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick80
Rnd3
Jaylen Wright
No drama and no debate, Jaylen Wright went about where he belonged in pick No. 80. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick84
Rnd3
Kris Abrams-Draine
A clean, defensible pick in slot 84 with a little surplus value in Kris Abrams-Draine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick101
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
A straight-up fair deal on Zak Zinter at pick No. 101, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick103
Rnd4
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
They barely believed it either: Dadrion Taylor-Demerson still on the board at No. 103. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick111
Rnd4
McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson in the 111th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick113
Rnd4
Beaux Limmer
They jumped the gun on Beaux Limmer, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick123
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
They paid a round early for Ben Sinnott in slot 123, more than the board wanted. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick143
Rnd5
Brennan Jackson
Brennan Jackson at pick 143 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick146
Rnd5
Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick197
Rnd6
Cornelius Johnson
A tidy bit of business in Round 6, Pick 22, where Cornelius Johnson graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
