The Bears fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-. The Bears looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Richard Jibunor at the 225th overall pick regardless, 117 picks early.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. However the rest shakes out, Corley at that price is a win they earned.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.
In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In No. 23 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in pick 43 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick51
Rnd2
Cooper DeJean
No drama and no debate, Cooper DeJean went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick68
Rnd3
Leonard Taylor III
Fair-plus on Leonard Taylor III, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87
Rnd3
Malachi Corley
Somehow Malachi Corley was still sitting there in slot 87, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick98
Rnd3
D.J. James
Taking D.J. James in the 98th pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick104
Rnd4
Graham Barton
Graham Barton at pick 104 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick123
Rnd4
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in No. 123 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick132
Rnd4
James Williams
Nothing to complain about; James Williams went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick141
Rnd5
Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at Round 5, Pick 5 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick182
Rnd6
Gabe Hall
By-the-book stuff, Gabe Hall at slot 182 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick225
Rnd7
Richard Jibunor
A real head-scratcher, Richard Jibunor in the 225th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
