l,l,l DRAFTING FOR THEBears

Draft Grade — Bears
Overall

The Bears worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-. The Bears clearly saw something nobody else did in Richard Jibunor, taking him 104 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.
Landing Marks that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.
Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Smith pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at linebacker and quarterback.
The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Xavier Legette
In No. 12 they get a matchup problem out wide. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51
Rnd2
Cooper DeJean
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cooper DeJean. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick61
Rnd2
Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens at the 61st overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick68
Rnd3
Princely Umanmielen
No edge and no loss on Princely Umanmielen in slot 68; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick92
Rnd3
Maason Smith
Of all the spots to shop, they chose DT-EDGE. Maason Smith in pick No. 92 leaves linebacker and quarterback for later.
Pick97
Rnd3
Graham Barton
A conviction pick on Graham Barton at Round 3, Pick 34 that the board grades a round light. The roster fit checks out.
Pick104
Rnd4
Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams in No. 104 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick132
Rnd4
Zach Frazier
No drama and no debate, Zach Frazier went about where he belonged in pick No. 132. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick137
Rnd5
Ben Sinnott
By-the-book stuff, Ben Sinnott at pick 137 squarely in line with his ranking. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick141
Rnd5
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick225
Rnd7
Jo'Quavious Marks
Jo'Quavious Marks at slot 225 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick238
Rnd7
Richard Jibunor
This one needs a full-page explanation: Richard Jibunor in the 238th pick, miles early. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
