The Bears won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-. The war room fell hard for Richard Jibunor, and it showed at Round 7, Pick 5: 95 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.
Getting Harris where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The phones were where this weekend was really won.
Spending an early pick on DT-EDGE with linebacker and quarterback open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up.
Bottom line, with Joe Alt leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
T'Vondre Sweat
In No. 27 they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at Round 2, Pick 3 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick42
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at the 42nd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick59
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at pick No. 59 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick68
Rnd3
Brian Thomas Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Brian Thomas Jr. at pick 68 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick74
Rnd3
Maason Smith
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Maason Smith adds a DT-EDGE and leaves linebacker and quarterback untouched.
Pick85
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
They paid sticker price for TreVeyon Henderson in pick 85, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick102
Rnd4
Graham Barton
No edge and no loss on Graham Barton in the 102nd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick103
Rnd4
Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick120
Rnd4
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in Round 4, Pick 20 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick132
Rnd4
Cade Stover
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 132 on Cade Stover with linebacker and quarterback unsolved.
Pick134
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in the 134th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick141
Rnd5
Jamari Thrash
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jamari Thrash in No. 141. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick157
Rnd5
Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards is a better player than pick No. 157 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick225
Rnd7
Richard Jibunor
They reached into another round for Richard Jibunor, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick241
Rnd7
Tre Harris
They will replay Tre Harris at the 241st pick for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick252
Rnd7
Dylan McMahon
Value said wait; Dylan McMahon in the 252nd overall pick says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
