The Bears let Ersery fall and pounced. Final grade: A-. The trade table was a mismatch, and the Bears were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Ersery. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Every board in the league had Brooks lower, and that gap is the story.
The Jeff Okudah deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.
A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Nick Emmanwori
In the 25th pick they get an enforcer at safety at fair value. More want than need.
Pick39
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
They will replay Kenneth Grant at pick 39 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick41
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Omarion Hampton at Round 2, Pick 9 is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick58
Rnd2
JT Tuimoloau
Nice patience on JT Tuimoloau, who had no business lasting to pick No. 58. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick72
Rnd3
Aireontae Ersery
Circle this one: Aireontae Ersery at No. 72 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick156
Rnd5
Pat Bryant
They read the board right and Pat Bryant was the payoff at the 156th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick185
Rnd6
Tahj Brooks
A conviction pick on Tahj Brooks at Round 6, Pick 9 that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
