Best value of the weekend goes to the Bears for Coleman: D. Boards are made to be trusted, and the Bears shredded theirs for Eyabi Okie-Anoma. He came off 36 spots early, and the room will hear about it.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. Spending an early pick on DT-EDGE with interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.
Coleman at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and interior defensive lineman is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In pick No. 3 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value.
Pick12
Rnd1
Laiatu Latu
In slot 12 they get a disruptor off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
The board had cheaper options than J.J. McCarthy at the 35th overall pick, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick74
Rnd3
Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at No. 74 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick75
Rnd3
Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at pick 75 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
By-the-book stuff, Cooper Beebe at pick No. 76 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick110
Rnd4
Maason Smith
Of all the spots to shop, they chose DT-EDGE. Maason Smith in Round 4, Pick 10 leaves interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots for later.
Pick111
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice slid further than he should have, and slot 111 is lovely value for the wide receiver. The roster fit checks out.
Pick122
Rnd4
Javon Foster
They took Javon Foster at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick123
Rnd4
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at No. 123 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick142
Rnd5
Christian Jones
They did well to land Christian Jones in the 142nd pick, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick143
Rnd5
Johnny Wilson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Johnny Wilson at the 143rd overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick161
Rnd5
Xavier Thomas
Nothing to complain about; Xavier Thomas went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick199
Rnd6
Keith Randolph Jr.
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Keith Randolph Jr.. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick224
Rnd7
Javontae Jean-Baptiste
Javontae Jean-Baptiste in No. 224 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick229
Rnd7
Eyabi Okie-Anoma
Eyabi Okie-Anoma at slot 229 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
