The Bears worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-. The Bears bet big and early on Sedrick Van Pran, 40 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Very little went wrong, and the A- is earned.
They banked enough surplus on Wilson to cover a lot of smaller sins. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Olumuyiwa Fashanu and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 7th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick9
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a weapon on the perimeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick20
Rnd1
Bralen Trice
In slot 20 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick21
Rnd1
Tyler Nubin
In No. 21 they get a ballhawk on the back end, even if it was a touch early. Need was not the driver here.
Pick26
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In pick No. 26 they get a press-man option on the boundary, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35
Rnd2
Bo Nix
Value with a capital V on Bo Nix in the 35th pick, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick39
Rnd2
Troy Franklin
They read the board right and Troy Franklin was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick47
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
A conviction pick on T'Vondre Sweat at pick No. 47 that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick51
Rnd2
Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at pick 51 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick66
Rnd3
Kalen King
Kalen King at No. 66 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
They will replay Patrick Paul at slot 75 for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick83
Rnd3
Trey Benson
Nothing to complain about; Trey Benson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick84
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in the 84th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick110
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
They barely believed it either: Johnny Wilson still on the board at Round 4, Pick 10. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick127
Rnd4
Dallin Holker
By-the-book stuff, Dallin Holker at No. 127 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick146
Rnd5
Javon Foster
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Javon Foster in slot 146. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick186
Rnd6
Malik Washington
A wide receiver of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick232
Rnd7
Dwight McGlothern
The board had Dwight McGlothern higher than the 232nd overall pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
