Nix is the plan now, and the Bears grade out a A-. The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Bears spent their marquee pick on Bo Nix, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.
Franklin at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Robinson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The phones were where this weekend was really won.
A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.
In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
In pick No. 21 they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick31
Rnd1
Terrion Arnold
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick32
Rnd1
Bo Nix
In slot 32 they get the arm they will build around, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick49
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
Nice patience on Emeka Egbuka, who had no business lasting to Round 2, Pick 17. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick72
Rnd3
Kalen King
Steal is underselling it; Kalen King at the 72nd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
Taking Patrick Paul in pick 75 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick86
Rnd3
Josh Newton
Somehow Josh Newton was still sitting there in the 86th pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick90
Rnd3
Marist Liufau
A straight-up fair deal on Marist Liufau at No. 90, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick111
Rnd4
Audric Estime
Audric Estime at Round 4, Pick 11 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick115
Rnd4
Junior Colson
They took Junior Colson at par in pick No. 115, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick117
Rnd4
Jalen McMillan
The board fumbled Jalen McMillan all the way to pick 117, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick127
Rnd4
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at the 127th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick134
Rnd4
Beau Brade
Beau Brade in slot 134 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick173
Rnd5
Ben Bywater
A reach for Ben Bywater in No. 173; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick186
Rnd6
Austin Stogner
They paid sticker price for Austin Stogner in the Round 6 slot, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick187
Rnd6
Sam Hartman
A slide stopped in the 187th pick, with Sam Hartman worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick196
Rnd6
Christian Jones
Christian Jones at Round 6, Pick 21 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick199
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
No edge and no loss on Curtis Jacobs in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick225
Rnd7
Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee is a better player than No. 225 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick227
Rnd7
Tatum Bethune
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Tatum Bethune in pick 227, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick229
Rnd7
Brevyn Spann-Ford
No drama and no debate, Brevyn Spann-Ford went about where he belonged in pick No. 229. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick232
Rnd7
Isaiah Davis
They let Isaiah Davis come to them and pounced at the 232nd overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick235
Rnd7
Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at slot 235 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. The roster fit checks out.
Pick241
Rnd7
Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader in the 241st pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick256
Rnd7
Zakhari Franklin
Zakhari Franklin in slot 256 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
