FutureA-
The Bears worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-. The Bears ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.
Getting Jacobs where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They are betting Milton III proves the room right and everyone else wrong.
Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Bottom line, with Joe Alt leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick15
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get juice off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27
Rnd1
Terrion Arnold
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 27 with a little surplus value in Terrion Arnold. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick35
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
The board had cheaper options than J.J. McCarthy at slot 35, and it noticed. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick56
Rnd2
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at pick 56 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick72
Rnd3
Xavier Worthy
Value with a capital V on Xavier Worthy in the 72nd pick, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick80
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
They went early on Gabriel Murphy in No. 80, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick109
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
They did well to land Zak Zinter in the 109th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick114
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves at pick No. 114 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick128
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at pick 128 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick153
Rnd5
Tykee Smith
A tidy little value on Tykee Smith in Round 5, Pick 17, a step better than break-even. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick157
Rnd5
AJ Barner
They paid sticker price for AJ Barner in the 157th overall pick, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick173
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
They reached a country mile for Joe Milton III at No. 173, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick213
Rnd6
Josh Proctor
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Josh Proctor. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick216
Rnd6
Daijun Edwards
A quiet steal in slot 216: Daijun Edwards for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick218
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
The board fumbled Curtis Jacobs all the way to the 218th pick, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
