FutureA+
The Bears got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Trevor Keegan, 86 picks early at the 75th overall pick. The final tally is a middling C.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.
It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In No. 11 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick12
Rnd1
Jared Verse
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get juice off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43
Rnd2
Ja'Lynn Polk
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ja'Lynn Polk in the 43rd overall pick, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick74
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at slot 74 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75
Rnd3
Trevor Keegan
A big swing on Trevor Keegan at the 75th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76
Rnd3
Cole Bishop
They reached into another round for Cole Bishop, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick111
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
A wild overpay on Theo Johnson in the 111th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick122
Rnd4
Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis in No. 122 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick123
Rnd4
Jordan Travis
They talked themselves into Jordan Travis at Round 4, Pick 23, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick143
Rnd5
Christian Jones
Christian Jones at pick 143 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick162
Rnd5
Khristian Boyd
The board had cheaper options than Khristian Boyd at the 162nd pick, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick246
Rnd7
Ryan Watts
Ryan Watts at pick No. 246 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
