The Bears worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-. Whoever sat across the table from the Bears should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
The veteran additions, Tyler Linderbaum chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not. The cost of the Corum reach is exactly the players who went right after him.
The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In No. 1 they get a difference-maker at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36
Rnd2
Johnny Wilson
A tidy bit of business in pick 36, where Johnny Wilson graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick61
Rnd2
Blake Corum
They paid up for Blake Corum at the Round 2 slot when waiting would have done the job. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick68
Rnd3
Cooper DeJean
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cooper DeJean in the 68th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick104
Rnd4
Graham Barton
Graham Barton at slot 104 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick141
Rnd5
Darius Robinson
No edge and no loss on Darius Robinson in Round 5, Pick 5; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick159
Rnd5
Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper slid further than he should have, and the 159th pick is lovely value for the linebacker. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick177
Rnd6
Ajani Cornelius
They paid sticker price for Ajani Cornelius in pick No. 177, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick182
Rnd6
Jahdae Barron
By-the-book stuff, Jahdae Barron at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick225
Rnd7
Mario Williams
The board had Mario Williams higher than the 225th overall pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It fills a real need, too.
