Good, not great, for the Bears: B+. The Bears clearly saw something nobody else did in Zakhari Franklin, taking him 106 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.
Landing Fitzgerald that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick10
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
In pick 10 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
A offensive lineman of that caliber at No. 49 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick55
Rnd2
Kaleb Johnson
They let Kaleb Johnson come to them and pounced at pick No. 55. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick72
Rnd3
Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in the Round 3 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick86
Rnd3
Jake Majors
They took Jake Majors at par in Round 3, Pick 22, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick117
Rnd4
Malachi Moore
Steal is underselling it; Malachi Moore at slot 117 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick147
Rnd5
Kalel Mullings
Kalel Mullings at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick193
Rnd6
Ryan Fitzgerald
You do not let a specialist like Ryan Fitzgerald reach No. 193 and blink. They did not. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick233
Rnd7
Jonah Monheim
They will replay Jonah Monheim at pick No. 233 for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick240
Rnd7
Zakhari Franklin
Zakhari Franklin at the 240th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
