The Bears cashed the board's mistake on Hicks: A. This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jaden Hicks, the No. 107 name on the board, stolen at the 143rd overall pick. Little to argue with here, and the A says so.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Bottom line, with Laiatu Latu leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Laiatu Latu
In No. 9 they get a bendy edge with upside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick26
Rnd1
Amarius Mims
In slot 26 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58
Rnd2
Ja'Lynn Polk
Fair-plus on Ja'Lynn Polk, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick75
Rnd3
Johnny Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Johnny Wilson at the 75th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick111
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
A clean, defensible pick in pick 111 with a little surplus value in Khyree Jackson. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick123
Rnd4
Will Shipley
The board had cheaper options than Will Shipley at Round 4, Pick 23, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick143
Rnd5
Jaden Hicks
Circle this one: Jaden Hicks at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
