Ryan Poles Burner DRAFTING FOR THEBears
Draft Grade — Bears
Overall
B-
ValueC+
NeedA-
TradesB-
FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Bears. You can draft well and still miss the point. The Bears did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to running back, which was the need that mattered most. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.
On value alone, Sabb makes the weekend a net positive. The Washington pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
David Bailey
In slot 25 they get juice off the edge, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59
Rnd2
A'Mauri Washington
They liked A'Mauri Washington enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 2 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick90
Rnd3
Keon Sabb
Keon Sabb slipping to the 90th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick129
Rnd4
Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis at Round 4, Pick 29 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
