FutureB-
The Bears fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+. The Bears put a flag in the ground for Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson, 112 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.
Landing Horton that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The phones were where this weekend was really won.
A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Mike Green
In pick 14 they get a problem off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39
Rnd2
Walter Nolen
They robbed the room for Walter Nolen here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick45
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
You do not let a safety like Nick Emmanwori reach slot 45 and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick51
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
They paid sticker price for TreVeyon Henderson in pick No. 51, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick72
Rnd3
Dylan Fairchild
They paid a round early for Dylan Fairchild in No. 72, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick85
Rnd3
Cody Simon
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cody Simon this early at the 85th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick147
Rnd5
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
They reached into another round for Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick189
Rnd6
Tory Horton
They will replay Tory Horton at slot 189 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick193
Rnd6
Ryan Fitzgerald
Steal is underselling it; Ryan Fitzgerald at pick 193 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick195
Rnd6
Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at Round 6, Pick 20 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick233
Rnd7
Drew Kendall
Drew Kendall at the 233rd overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick240
Rnd7
Fentrell Cypress II
Fentrell Cypress II in the 240th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
