The Bears worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-. Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Bears spent pick 116 on AJ Barner, a name most had 55 spots down the list.
The Legette value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.
They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Williams pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher and running back.
The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
A tidy little value on Tyler Guyton in the 34th overall pick, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick48
Rnd2
Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. at pick No. 48 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick69
Rnd3
Xavier Legette
They barely believed it either: Xavier Legette still on the board at pick 69. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick75
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
They reached a country mile for Christian Mahogany at the 75th pick, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick81
Rnd3
Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock at slot 81 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick96
Rnd3
Maason Smith
They paid a round early for Maason Smith in slot 96, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick102
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at Round 4, Pick 2 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick103
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
Good price on Brenden Rice in No. 103, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick105
Rnd4
Mike Sainristil
They robbed the room for Mike Sainristil here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick113
Rnd4
Malik Washington
Malik Washington in pick No. 113 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick114
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
A straight-up fair deal on Cedric Gray at pick 114, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick116
Rnd4
AJ Barner
AJ Barner in the 116th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick118
Rnd4
Blake Fisher
They took Blake Fisher at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick122
Rnd4
James Williams
A surprising call. With edge rusher and running back still to address, they spent No. 122 on James Williams, a safety they were not short of.
Pick225
Rnd7
Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at the 225th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
