Doc DRAFTING FOR THEBears

Draft Grade — Bears

The Bears let Sturdivant fall and pounced. Final grade: A-. You build a draft on nights like this. J. Michael Sturdivant had no business being available in slot 182, and the Bears did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. If Travis pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.
Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In pick No. 4 they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick17
Rnd1
Emeka Egbuka
In No. 17 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49
Rnd2
Cooper DeJean
A straight-up fair deal on Cooper DeJean at pick 49, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick68
Rnd3
Jordan Travis
A wild overpay on Jordan Travis in the 68th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick81
Rnd3
Jackson Powers-Johnson
They went early on Jackson Powers-Johnson in the Round 3 slot, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick104
Rnd4
Bucky Irving
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bucky Irving. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick132
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at slot 132 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick141
Rnd5
Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at Round 5, Pick 5 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick182
Rnd6
J. Michael Sturdivant
They robbed the room for J. Michael Sturdivant here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick225
Rnd7
Landon Jackson
Fair-plus on Landon Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
