FutureB-
The Bears let Stowers fall into their laps, and walked away with a C-. The Bears did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Eli Stowers fell into pick No. 255.
Every board in the league had Jones Jr. lower, and that gap is the story. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.
The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
Hit on Walter Nolen and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in the 12th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick40
Rnd2
Will Campbell
Will Campbell in pick No. 40 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick45
Rnd2
James Pearce Jr.
Steal is underselling it; James Pearce Jr. at the Round 2 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick49
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Nick Emmanwori in pick 49, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick113
Rnd4
Emery Jones Jr.
They talked themselves into Emery Jones Jr. at No. 113, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick114
Rnd4
Donovan Jackson
A wild overpay on Donovan Jackson in the 114th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick116
Rnd4
Miles Frazier
They left a pile of value on the table to take Miles Frazier this early at Round 4, Pick 15. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick122
Rnd4
Jake Majors
Jake Majors in slot 122 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick137
Rnd4
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick 137 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick150
Rnd5
Tyler Warren
Somehow Tyler Warren was still sitting there in the 150th overall pick, and they pounced on premier tight end value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick203
Rnd6
Benjamin Morrison
Benjamin Morrison at the 203rd pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick228
Rnd7
Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse at pick No. 228 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick234
Rnd7
Dasan McCullough
They paid a round early for Dasan McCullough in slot 234, more than the board wanted. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick244
Rnd7
Ar'maj Reed-Adams
They robbed the room for Ar'maj Reed-Adams here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick247
Rnd7
Phil Mafah
Phil Mafah at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick249
Rnd7
Barrett Carter
The board fumbled Barrett Carter all the way to Round 7, Pick 35, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick252
Rnd7
Woody Marks
Circle this one: Woody Marks at Round 7, Pick 38 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick253
Rnd7
Jaishawn Barham
They will replay Jaishawn Barham at pick No. 253 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick254
Rnd7
Hunter Wohler
Hunter Wohler in No. 254 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick255
Rnd7
Eli Stowers
A tight end of that caliber at the 255th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick256
Rnd7
Jay Toia
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jay Toia. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
