Grand theft in Round 6, Pick 17: the Bears steal Anderson and grade out a A-. This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Aaron Anderson, the No. 158 name on the board, stolen at pick 200. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Dillon Thieneman
In the Round 1 slot they get a centerfielder for the defense. Need was not the driver here.
Pick59
Rnd2
Caleb Banks
They will replay Caleb Banks at pick No. 59 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick77
Rnd3
Ja'Kobi Lane
Ja'Kobi Lane slid further than he should have, and No. 77 is lovely value for the wide receiver. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick124
Rnd4
Drew Shelton
Somehow Drew Shelton was still sitting there in pick 124, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick125
Rnd4
Kaytron Allen
Steal is underselling it; Kaytron Allen at the 125th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick139
Rnd4
Tim Keenan III
A slide stopped in slot 139, with Tim Keenan III worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick157
Rnd5
Xavier Scott
You do not let a cornerback like Xavier Scott reach the 157th overall pick and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick181
Rnd5
Kage Casey
Circle this one: Kage Casey at Round 5, Pick 42 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick200
Rnd6
Aaron Anderson
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Aaron Anderson in Round 6, Pick 17, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick234
Rnd7
Jordan White
Jordan White in the 234th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick254
Rnd7
Diego Pavia
Diego Pavia at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
