FutureB-
The Bears cashed the board's mistake on Starks: B-. This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Malaki Starks, the No. 27 name on the board, stolen at the 72nd overall pick. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.
They will need Ratledge to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.
Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Mykel Williams
In pick No. 14 they get juice off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39
Rnd2
Walter Nolen
They barely believed it either: Walter Nolen still on the board at the Round 2 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick41
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
A wild overpay on Tate Ratledge in No. 41, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick72
Rnd3
Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in slot 72 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick149
Rnd5
Emery Jones Jr.
Taking Emery Jones Jr. in pick 149 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick197
Rnd6
Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at Round 6, Pick 19 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick234
Rnd7
Ty Hamilton
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ty Hamilton. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick235
Rnd7
Seth McLaughlin
No drama and no debate, Seth McLaughlin went about where he belonged in the 235th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick242
Rnd7
Clay Webb
No edge and no loss on Clay Webb in the 242nd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
