Grand theft in pick 147: the Bears steal Judkins and grade out a B-.

The board owed the Bears one, and it paid up: Quinshon Judkins, the No. 74 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 5 slot like a gift left on the doorstep. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In the 10th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at Round 2, Pick 7 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They did well to land Tyler Booker in the 41st pick, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick72 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
The board had Alfred Collins higher than the Round 3 slot, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick147 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
They will replay Quinshon Judkins at No. 147 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick193 Rnd6 Robert Spears-Jennings
Steal is underselling it; Robert Spears-Jennings at slot 193 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick233 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Somehow Ollie Gordon II was still sitting there in pick No. 233, and they pounced on premier running back value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool at pick 240 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
