The Bears kept it disciplined and banked a B. The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Bears reached some 95 spots for Richard Jibunor, and value like that does not grow back. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
The Sainristil pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In No. 1 they get a home-run threat at receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick26
Rnd1
Xavier Legette
In the 26th pick they get a true top target, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick45
Rnd2
Leonard Taylor III
A reach for Leonard Taylor III in slot 45; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick58
Rnd2
Cooper DeJean
A reasonable price with a little left over, Cooper DeJean in Round 2, Pick 26. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick68
Rnd3
Chris Braswell
They paid sticker price for Chris Braswell in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick82
Rnd3
Graham Barton
Graham Barton in pick No. 82 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick104
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
A tidy little value on Dominick Puni in pick No. 104, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick126
Rnd4
Max Melton
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Max Melton in the Round 4 slot, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick132
Rnd4
Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at the 132nd overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick141
Rnd5
Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in slot 141 is fair value, right on his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick182
Rnd6
Tyler Guyton
The board fumbled Tyler Guyton all the way to Round 6, Pick 7, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick217
Rnd6
Mike Sainristil
They will replay Mike Sainristil at the 217th pick for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick218
Rnd6
Dylan McMahon
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dylan McMahon well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick225
Rnd7
Richard Jibunor
Richard Jibunor at pick 225 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
