Grand theft in pick 89: the Bears steal Golday and grade out a B. You build a draft on nights like this. Jake Golday had no business being available in slot 89, and the Bears did the only sane thing and turned in the card. The bottom line is a respectable B.
They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Every board in the league had Miller lower, and that gap is the story.
Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Christen Miller
In No. 27 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57
Rnd2
A.J. Haulcy
The board had A.J. Haulcy higher than Round 2, Pick 25, and the safety fell to them anyway. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick89
Rnd3
Jake Golday
They robbed the room for Jake Golday here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick129
Rnd4
Jalon Kilgore
Nice patience on Jalon Kilgore, who had no business lasting to pick No. 129. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick163
Rnd5
Keagen Trost
A reasonable price with a little left over, Keagen Trost in slot 163. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick239
Rnd7
Zavion Thomas
Zavion Thomas is a better player than pick 239 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick241
Rnd7
Luke Altmyer
No edge and no loss on Luke Altmyer in the 241st overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
