Chicago Bears

The Bears lost the trade table, and the C tells the story.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jack Pyburn at the 219th pick, a reach of 71 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

That is a tight end worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. The Maxx Crosby pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

So much rides on Emmanuel McNeil-Warren that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.15 · Pick 47 · Emmanuel McNeil-Warren · S · rank 40
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in No. 47 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Caleb Banks · DL · rank 42
Caleb Banks at the 57th overall pick is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · Jacob Rodriguez · LB · rank 51
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jacob Rodriguez in pick No. 63. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Jake Slaughter · C · rank 58
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jake Slaughter reach pick 78 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.25 · Pick 89 · Devin Moore · CB · rank 94
They took Devin Moore at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Max Klare · TE · rank 76
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Max Klare in the 125th pick, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Tacario Davis · CB · rank 111
Value with a capital V on Tacario Davis in pick No. 127, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.29 · Pick 129 · De'Zhaun Stribling · WR · rank 98
They barely believed it either: De'Zhaun Stribling still on the board at slot 129. It fills a real need, too.
R4.33 · Pick 133 · Dametrious Crownover · OT · rank 146
A premium they did not need to pay, Dametrious Crownover a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.38 · Pick 138 · Jaeden Roberts · OG · rank 152
Jaeden Roberts at pick 138 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.39 · Pick 139 · DeMonte Capehart · DT · rank 138
By-the-book stuff, DeMonte Capehart at the 139th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.10 · Pick 191 · Keagen Trost · OT · rank 184
Keagen Trost in the Round 6 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.27 · Pick 208 · VJ Payne · S · rank 201
Nothing to complain about; VJ Payne went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
R7.3 · Pick 219 · Jack Pyburn · LB-EDGE · rank 290
A big swing on Jack Pyburn at Round 7, Pick 3, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.23 · Pick 239 · Robert Spears-Jennings · S · rank 239
Robert Spears-Jennings at pick 239 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
R7.25 · Pick 241 · Dominic Zvada · PK · rank 309
Dominic Zvada in slot 241 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
