FutureC
The Bears won the night they stopped Walker from sliding. Grade: B. If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Bears, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Walker. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.
They are betting Pegues proves the room right and everyone else wrong.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Will Campbell
In the 14th overall pick they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick17
Rnd1
Jalon Walker
In pick 17 they get a three-down second-level presence at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick27
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
In No. 27 they get a seam-stretching tight end at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick39
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
They let Omarion Hampton come to them and pounced at pick No. 39. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick41
Rnd2
Tyleik Williams
By-the-book stuff, Tyleik Williams at slot 41 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick49
Rnd2
Jonah Savaiinaea
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jonah Savaiinaea in the Round 2 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick56
Rnd2
Kaleb Johnson
A tidy bit of business in No. 56, where Kaleb Johnson graded well above the range. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick59
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at the 59th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick72
Rnd3
Elic Ayomanor
Value with a capital V on Elic Ayomanor in slot 72, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick91
Rnd3
Isaiah Bond
A quiet steal in the 91st pick: Isaiah Bond for less than the market said. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick98
Rnd3
Danny Stutsman
A slide stopped in pick 98, with Danny Stutsman worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick109
Rnd4
Deone Walker
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at Round 4, Pick 7 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick111
Rnd4
Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander in the Round 4 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick138
Rnd4
Denzel Burke
They will replay Denzel Burke at pick No. 138 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick139
Rnd5
Dillon Gabriel
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Dillon Gabriel in pick No. 139. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick148
Rnd5
Malachi Moore
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Malachi Moore at the 148th overall pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick163
Rnd5
Ty Robinson
No edge and no loss on Ty Robinson in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick169
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
The board had cheaper options than JJ Pegues at the 169th pick, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick170
Rnd5
Jack Kiser
They liked Jack Kiser enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 170. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick174
Rnd5
Ollie Gordon II
A straight-up fair deal on Ollie Gordon II at No. 174, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick193
Rnd6
Jaylen Reed
A tidy little value on Jaylen Reed in slot 193, a step better than break-even. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick227
Rnd7
Shemar James
They jumped the gun on Shemar James, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick239
Rnd7
Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at the 239th pick is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
