Grand theft in slot 147: the Bears steal Ransom and grade out a B+. Call it larceny. Lathan Ransom sat on the board until pick 147, and the Bears did not need to be asked twice. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.
They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. The cost of the Sanders reach is exactly the players who went right after him.
It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Jack Sawyer
In the 24th overall pick they get a premier pass rusher, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Booker. It fills a real need, too.
Pick50
Rnd2
Deone Walker
They went early on Deone Walker in the 50th pick, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick72
Rnd3
Alfred Collins
They let Alfred Collins come to them and pounced at No. 72. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick86
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at pick 86 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick97
Rnd3
Quinshon Judkins
Somehow Quinshon Judkins was still sitting there in pick No. 97, and they pounced on premier running back value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick123
Rnd4
Jake Majors
They will replay Jake Majors at Round 4, Pick 22 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick138
Rnd5
Oronde Gadsden II
They took Oronde Gadsden II at par in slot 138, which is nothing to complain about. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick147
Rnd5
Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at the 147th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick193
Rnd6
Tyler Cooper
Circle this one: Tyler Cooper at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick233
Rnd7
Luke Lachey
A tight end of that caliber at Round 7, Pick 17 is the definition of value, full stop. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick240
Rnd7
Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders in slot 240 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
