The Bears won the night they stopped Rice from sliding. Grade: B. You could see the war room lean forward. Brenden Rice at the 141st overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Good, not great, and the B says as much.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.
The Jackson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The Bears clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick5
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In pick No. 5 they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick85
Rnd3
Blake Corum
You do not let a running back like Blake Corum reach slot 85 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick100
Rnd3
Howard Cross III
Howard Cross III in the 100th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick103
Rnd4
Donovan Jackson
A real head-scratcher, Donovan Jackson in pick 103 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick132
Rnd4
Blake Fisher
Steal is underselling it; Blake Fisher at the 132nd pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick141
Rnd5
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at No. 141 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick144
Rnd5
Tyler Van Dyke
Tyler Van Dyke in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick189
Rnd6
Malachi Moore
They barely believed it either: Malachi Moore still on the board at slot 189. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick225
Rnd7
Jase McClellan
They talked themselves into Jase McClellan at Round 7, Pick 5, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick228
Rnd7
Isaiah Adams
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 228th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
