FutureA-
A franchise passer in Maye headlines a D weekend for the Bears. The phones were a trap the Bears kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D.
Whatever Drake Maye becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Paul at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Drake Maye
In slot 4 they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick26
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
A slide stopped in pick No. 26, with Dallas Turner worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick34
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman is a better player than the Round 2 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick40
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton in pick 40 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick53
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
A tidy little value on Kris Jenkins in the 53rd pick, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick67
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at the 67th overall pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
They paid sticker price for Christian Haynes in No. 75, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick85
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in slot 85 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick102
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in Round 4, Pick 2 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick103
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
They took Matt Goncalves at par in the 103rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick110
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at pick No. 110 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick127
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at the Round 4 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick146
Rnd5
Cam Hart
A quiet steal in pick 146: Cam Hart for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick186
Rnd6
Julian Pearl
Nothing to complain about; Julian Pearl went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick232
Rnd7
Daequan Hardy
Daequan Hardy slipping to No. 232 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
