Chicago Bears

The Bears robbed the room for Elarms-Orr. Final grade: A.

Thirty-one other rooms let Kaleb Elarms-Orr slide, and the Bears were the ones holding the card at the 228th pick. Highway robbery.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The Payton reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Jeremiyah Love · RB · rank 2
In No. 12 they get an every-down engine for the run game at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
R1.20 · Pick 20 · Sonny Styles · LB · rank 11
Sonny Styles slid further than he should have, and Round 1, Pick 20 is lovely value for the linebacker. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.1 · Pick 33 · Makai Lemon · WR · rank 10
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Makai Lemon in the 33rd overall pick, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Kenyon Sadiq · TE · rank 17
Kenyon Sadiq in pick 44 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Dillon Thieneman · S · rank 27
A safety of that caliber at slot 57 is the definition of value, full stop. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R2.28 · Pick 60 · Lee Hunter · DT · rank 49
The board had Lee Hunter higher than pick No. 60, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Logan Jones · C · rank 97
Logan Jones in the Round 4 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.40 · Pick 140 · Jalon Kilgore · CB · rank 104
Taking Jalon Kilgore in the 140th pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.39 · Pick 179 · Zane Durant · DT · rank 185
A straight-up fair deal on Zane Durant at No. 179, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.12 · Pick 228 · Kaleb Elarms-Orr · LB · rank 183
You do not let a linebacker like Kaleb Elarms-Orr reach the 228th pick and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.26 · Pick 242 · Patrick Payton · DE-EDGE · rank 258
Patrick Payton at pick No. 242 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
