FutureB-
Larceny in No. 242 lands the Bears a B+, Howard and all. This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Will Howard, the No. 108 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 242. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. They will need Ratledge to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
They bet on numbers rather than a single high pick.
Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Jack Sawyer
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39
Rnd2
Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams in pick 39 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick41
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Good price on Tyler Booker in the 41st pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick45
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
They talked themselves into Tate Ratledge at the 45th overall pick, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick56
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts is a better player than No. 56 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick62
Rnd2
Princely Umanmielen
Circle this one: Princely Umanmielen at slot 62 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick72
Rnd3
Josh Conerly Jr.
Josh Conerly Jr. in pick No. 72 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick149
Rnd5
Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick197
Rnd6
Malachi Moore
A safety of that caliber at slot 197 is the definition of value, full stop. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick234
Rnd7
Antwane Wells Jr.
They robbed the room for Antwane Wells Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick235
Rnd7
Cam Skattebo
You do not let a running back like Cam Skattebo reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick242
Rnd7
Will Howard
Somehow Will Howard was still sitting there in pick No. 242, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
