FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Bears. There is reaching, and then there is Tyreak Sapp at pick 57. The Bears jumped the board by 70 and dared it to prove them wrong. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.
The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Getting Mauigoa where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.
The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Francis Mauigoa
In the 25th pick they get protection for the quarterback, and a steal at that.
Pick57
Rnd2
Tyreak Sapp
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tyreak Sapp. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick60
Rnd2
Billy Schrauth
Billy Schrauth at the 60th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick89
Rnd3
Jaishawn Barham
A real head-scratcher, Jaishawn Barham in Round 3, Pick 25 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick129
Rnd4
Mikail Kamara
They went early on Mikail Kamara in pick 129, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick239
Rnd7
Kendrick Law
A reach for Kendrick Law in the Round 7 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick241
Rnd7
Antonio Kite
Antonio Kite slipping to No. 241 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
