Good, not great, for the Bears: B-.

The Dont'e Thornton Jr. selection is the head-turner. The Bears reached 36 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

That Warren pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 10th overall pick they get a true top target at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They robbed the room for Tyler Warren here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick41 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
They took Aireontae Ersery at par in pick 41, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick72 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They paid a round early for Donovan Jackson in the 72nd pick, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
Pick149 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at Round 5, Pick 10 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick197 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
You do not let a running back like Ollie Gordon II reach slot 197 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick235 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tonka Hemingway this early at No. 235. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick242 Rnd7 Tosh Baker
Tosh Baker at the 242nd overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
