The Bears cashed the board's mistake on Bryant: A-. Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Bears were there to profit. Pat Bryant, the No. 143 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 199th overall pick.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
The veteran additions, Micah Parsons chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not. The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.
In the end it comes back to Walter Nolen, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick44
Rnd2
Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in Round 2, Pick 12 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick51
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
Taking Omarion Hampton in the 51st overall pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick66
Rnd3
Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. at slot 66 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick90
Rnd3
Tai Felton
Nice patience on Tai Felton, who had no business lasting to the Round 3 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick121
Rnd4
Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro at the 121st pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick126
Rnd4
Will Howard
They barely believed it either: Will Howard still on the board at No. 126. The roster fit checks out.
Pick149
Rnd5
Hollin Pierce
You do not let an offensive lineman like Hollin Pierce reach pick No. 149 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick199
Rnd6
Pat Bryant
Somehow Pat Bryant was still sitting there in pick 199, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick235
Rnd7
Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed in pick No. 235 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick242
Rnd7
Donovan Edwards
A running back of that caliber at slot 242 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
