FutureB-
The Bears checked most of the boxes and earned a B-. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Marvin Jones Jr. at No. 246 is 92 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.
That McNeil-Warren pick is the receipt they will wave around later. For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Caleb Lomu
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick57
Rnd2
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in pick No. 57. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick62
Rnd2
Dani Dennis-Sutton
Dani Dennis-Sutton at the 62nd overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick89
Rnd3
Domonique Orange
Domonique Orange at slot 89 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick120
Rnd4
Domani Jackson
They talked themselves into Domani Jackson at the 120th pick, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick131
Rnd4
Ar'maj Reed-Adams
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ar'maj Reed-Adams well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick160
Rnd5
Caleb Douglas
They took Caleb Douglas at par in the 160th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick212
Rnd6
Riley Nowakowski
Riley Nowakowski in pick No. 212 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick239
Rnd7
Latrell McCutchin Sr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Latrell McCutchin Sr. in Round 7, Pick 23. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick241
Rnd7
Noah Whittington
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 7 slot with a little surplus value in Noah Whittington. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick246
Rnd7
Marvin Jones Jr.
They reached a country mile for Marvin Jones Jr. at pick 246, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick255
Rnd7
Fa'alili Fa'amoe
No edge and no loss on Fa'alili Fa'amoe in slot 255; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
