I mentioned in a thread I created that Graham was in a group of corners that would represent excellent value in the later rounds because they all opted out because of Covid. I’m thrilled the Bears were able to get him, especially in the 6th.

I also hoped the Bears would use this draft to get bookend OTs which they did too.

Fields make this whole thing just crazy and of course incredibly exciting.

Due to Covid restrictions, whether that was missed games or significantly lower access to the players, the entire backend of the draft was a bit more of a crapshoot than normal. It will be interesting to see how guys like Graham turn out as I think their draft stock took hits due to those Covid restrictions.

The whole draft was a steal.. Not one player they took is a minus!

Nobody really knows buddy. Just because you throw an exclamation point on the end of your random spewage doesn't make it authoritative lol
So you got upset over an exclamation point...Ok then!

Graham becoming the NB would be a huge win for the Bears.

They DESPERATELY need some young CBs to step up.

I think that's right where he ends up to. Vildor will probably be the top backup at NB and CB and Shelley is on the bubble.

I'm concerned about the defensive secondary in general. There are questions at every position except strong-safety.
  • How is Johnson's shoulder?
  • Can Desmond Trufant revitalize his career?
  • Who's going to play the nickle?
  • Is the real Eddie Jackson the one we saw in 2020 or the one we saw in 2019?

I know you're not supposed to get excited about 6th round picks but I really, really like all three. Not going to bother reading sports mockery but Graham has potential.
article is pretty good

It's hard for a rookie to win a job in camp. It's really hard for a 6th rounder to win a job without a bunch of injuries. I like Graham as much as anyone, but I think the best case is he gets some looks early and becomes a starter in the 2nd half of the season and I still think that's a longshot.

Sssshhhhhhh. According to CCS, not penciling a 6th round pick in as a day one starter means you hate Darnell Mooney.
