FutureA
The Bears fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-. Nobody else had Richard Jibunor anywhere near the Round 7 slot. The Bears did, by 95 spots, and that gap is the whole story.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They will answer for taking DT-EDGE early while cornerback, linebacker and other spots went begging.
For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value.
Pick37
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in the 37th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick38
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
By-the-book stuff, Keon Coleman at the 38th pick squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick59
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
A premium they did not need to pay, Chris Braswell a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick68
Rnd3
Braelon Allen
They took Braelon Allen at par in pick No. 68, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick69
Rnd3
Maason Smith
A curious use of No. 69. Cornerback, linebacker and other spots needed the pick; a DT-EDGE in Maason Smith did not.
Pick98
Rnd3
Graham Barton
Graham Barton in the 98th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick104
Rnd4
Tyleik Williams
No edge and no loss on Tyleik Williams in slot 104; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick113
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at pick 113 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick132
Rnd4
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at Round 4, Pick 32 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick141
Rnd5
Donovan Jackson
They read the board right and Donovan Jackson was the payoff at the Round 5 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick182
Rnd6
Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall in the 182nd overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick225
Rnd7
Richard Jibunor
Richard Jibunor at No. 225 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster logic is harder to follow.
