FutureA
The Bears fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Hudson Card at the 143rd pick is 189 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.
Mondon Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The veteran additions, Quinn Meinerz chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick40
Rnd2
JT Tuimoloau
A big swing on JT Tuimoloau at the 40th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick47
Rnd2
Tyleik Williams
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyleik Williams. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick57
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in pick No. 57 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick61
Rnd2
Jalen Royals
No drama and no debate, Jalen Royals went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick72
Rnd3
Deone Walker
Deone Walker in pick 72 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87
Rnd3
Earnest Greene III
Value said wait; Earnest Greene III in slot 87 says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick90
Rnd3
Emery Jones Jr.
A wild overpay on Emery Jones Jr. in pick 90, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick93
Rnd3
Trey Zuhn III
They reached into another round for Trey Zuhn III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick94
Rnd3
DJ Campbell
A swing that ignored the value entirely, DJ Campbell well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick106
Rnd4
TreVeyon Henderson
Steal is underselling it; TreVeyon Henderson at the 106th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick107
Rnd4
Sonny Styles
A reach for Sonny Styles in the 107th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick112
Rnd4
Jonah Monheim
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jonah Monheim this early at slot 112. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick116
Rnd4
Mason Taylor
Circle this one: Mason Taylor at Round 4, Pick 15 is a fall that decides a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick121
Rnd4
Nicholas Singleton
They robbed the room for Nicholas Singleton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick123
Rnd4
Daylen Everette
A tidy little value on Daylen Everette in the Round 4 slot, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick137
Rnd4
Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at Round 4, Pick 36 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick142
Rnd5
Que Robinson
Que Robinson at pick 142 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick143
Rnd5
Hudson Card
They reached a country mile for Hudson Card at slot 143, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick148
Rnd5
Julian Fleming
Julian Fleming in the 148th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick179
Rnd6
Smael Mondon Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Smael Mondon Jr. reach the 179th pick and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick188
Rnd6
Jaishawn Barham
They paid up for Jaishawn Barham at No. 188 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick210
Rnd6
Eli Stowers
Taking Eli Stowers in pick No. 210 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick234
Rnd7
Phil Mafah
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Phil Mafah in Round 7, Pick 18, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick240
Rnd7
Jay Toia
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jay Toia. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick252
Rnd7
Garrett Dellinger
No edge and no loss on Garrett Dellinger in pick No. 252; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
