FutureA+
More right than wrong for the Bears, and a B+ to prove it. The Bears went off the board in a big way for Shemar Turner, 35 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.
That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Melton at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In the 3rd overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
Pick9
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
Malik Nabers in slot 9 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick39
Rnd2
T.J. Tampa
By-the-book stuff, T.J. Tampa at No. 39 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick75
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in pick No. 75 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick103
Rnd4
Shemar Turner
A big swing on Shemar Turner at pick 103, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick110
Rnd4
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at the 110th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick125
Rnd4
Max Melton
Max Melton is a better player than pick 125 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
