Larceny in Round 6, Pick 9 lands the Bears a B, Muhammad and all.

Somebody in pick 169 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bears sat still while Jabbar Muhammad, the No. 32 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In No. 9 they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
The board had Malaki Starks higher than pick 33, and the safety fell to them anyway. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jack Sawyer at the 41st pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick73 Rnd3 Kenneth Grant
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 3 slot is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick105 Rnd4 Walter Nolen
They barely believed it either: Walter Nolen still on the board at Round 4, Pick 9. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick137 Rnd5 Tre Harris
They will replay Tre Harris at slot 137 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick169 Rnd6 Jabbar Muhammad
Jabbar Muhammad in pick No. 169 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick189 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster in the 189th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
