FutureB
The Bears fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+. The tape said wait; the Bears did not. Tyler Batty went at pick No. 249, a good 127 picks before the board was ready.
Sanders falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.
A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Ozzy Trapilo
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick41
Rnd2
Princely Umanmielen
Princely Umanmielen in pick No. 41 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick44
Rnd2
Jack Sawyer
Nice patience on Jack Sawyer, who had no business lasting to slot 44. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick54
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at pick 54 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick73
Rnd3
DJ Campbell
A real head-scratcher, DJ Campbell in the 73rd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick78
Rnd3
Sonny Styles
They robbed the room for Sonny Styles here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick90
Rnd3
Alfred Collins
The board had cheaper options than Alfred Collins at pick 90, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94
Rnd3
Smael Mondon Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Smael Mondon Jr. reach slot 94 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick123
Rnd4
Donovan Jackson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Donovan Jackson in the 123rd overall pick, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick126
Rnd4
Bryce Foster
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Bryce Foster well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick150
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the Round 5 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick169
Rnd5
Xavier Nwankpa
A conviction pick on Xavier Nwankpa at pick No. 169 that the board grades a round light. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick203
Rnd6
Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at No. 203 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick209
Rnd6
Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm at the 209th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick226
Rnd7
Le'Veon Moss
They will replay Le'Veon Moss at Round 7, Pick 12 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick234
Rnd7
Jay Toia
Jay Toia at the 234th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick244
Rnd7
Julian Fleming
Julian Fleming at pick 244 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick247
Rnd7
Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in slot 247 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick249
Rnd7
Tyler Batty
Tyler Batty at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
