Larceny in slot 182 lands the Bears a B+, Sainristil and all. If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Bears, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.
That is a defensive back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 2nd pick they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value.
Pick12
Rnd1
JC Latham
In pick No. 12 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick21
Rnd1
Emeka Egbuka
In the 21st overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside. A real need, handled.
Pick40
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
A reach on Cooper Beebe in No. 40; the board had better options right there. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick68
Rnd3
Denzel Burke
They read the board right and Denzel Burke was the payoff at pick 68. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick76
Rnd3
Malachi Corley
A slide stopped in the Round 3 slot, with Malachi Corley worth more than the price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick85
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in the Round 3 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The roster fit checks out.
Pick108
Rnd4
Graham Barton
Fair-plus on Graham Barton, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick132
Rnd4
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in Round 4, Pick 32 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick149
Rnd5
Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson in pick No. 149 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick182
Rnd6
Mike Sainristil
Taking Mike Sainristil in the 182nd pick is close to grand larceny; a defensive back that good had no business lasting this long. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick202
Rnd6
Riley Leonard
Riley Leonard in slot 202 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
