The Bears let Burke fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-. This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Denzel Burke, the No. 52 name on the board, stolen at Round 4, Pick 9.
The Van Pran reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.
They will answer for taking safety early while interior defensive lineman and linebacker went begging.
Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
In the 4th pick they get a No. 1 receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick11
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In slot 11 they get a building block for the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick26
Rnd1
Xavier Legette
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Kamren Kinchens
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kamren Kinchens in No. 34. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick38
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
A straight-up fair deal on Chop Robinson at pick No. 38, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick55
Rnd2
Sedrick Van Pran
A big swing on Sedrick Van Pran at Round 2, Pick 23, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick75
Rnd3
Rod Moore
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick 75 on Rod Moore with interior defensive lineman and linebacker unsolved.
Pick80
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
A premium they did not need to pay, TreVeyon Henderson a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick86
Rnd3
Maason Smith
A surprising call. With interior defensive lineman and linebacker still to address, they spent slot 86 on Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE they were not short of.
Pick109
Rnd4
Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at the 109th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick110
Rnd4
Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards at pick 110 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick127
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe in No. 127 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick130
Rnd4
James Williams
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with James Williams while clear needs at interior defensive lineman and linebacker sat open.
Pick138
Rnd5
Jaheim Bell
By-the-book stuff, Jaheim Bell at Round 5, Pick 2 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick139
Rnd5
Theo Johnson
The board had cheaper options than Theo Johnson at the Round 5 slot, and it noticed. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick146
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
They reached into another round for Joe Milton III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick186
Rnd6
LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson slid further than he should have, and the Round 6 slot is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick204
Rnd6
Chau Smith-Wade
They will replay Chau Smith-Wade at Round 6, Pick 29 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick225
Rnd7
Javon Baker
Steal is underselling it; Javon Baker at slot 225 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick227
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
They took Sam Hartman at par in the 227th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick232
Rnd7
Ethan Driskell
You do not let an offensive lineman like Ethan Driskell reach pick 232 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
