Nobody dealt better than the Bears this weekend: A-. The Bears ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. Reaching for Sainristil left real value on the table behind him.
Melton falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.
Bottom line, with Jared Verse leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Jared Verse
In the Round 1 slot they get juice off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick67
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at No. 67 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick68
Rnd3
Ladd McConkey
No drama and no debate, Ladd McConkey went about where he belonged in pick No. 68. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick103
Rnd4
Devontez Walker
By-the-book stuff, Devontez Walker at the 103rd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick104
Rnd4
Will Shipley
Will Shipley in slot 104 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick132
Rnd4
Max Melton
A tidy bit of business in Round 4, Pick 32, where Max Melton graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick133
Rnd4
Cade Stover
They paid sticker price for Cade Stover in pick 133, and that is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick141
Rnd5
Mike Sainristil
They went early on Mike Sainristil in the 141st pick, and the value did not follow. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick182
Rnd6
Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash at the Round 6 slot is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick225
Rnd7
Marques Cox
No edge and no loss on Marques Cox in No. 225; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
