Singleton should have been long gone. The Bears pounced, and earned a B-.

The Bears spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Nicholas Singleton, the No. 100 name on the board, in Round 7, Pick 16.

Reaching for Wells Jr. left real value on the table behind him. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
A safety of that caliber at slot 37 is the definition of value, full stop. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 40 with a little surplus value in Tyler Booker. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick71 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at the 71st pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick142 Rnd5 Antwane Wells Jr.
A big swing on Antwane Wells Jr. at Round 5, Pick 5, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick200 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
They took Seth McLaughlin at par in pick 200, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick232 Rnd7 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton in the 232nd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick246 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at No. 246 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
