FutureA+
Quarterback settled, Nix in the fold, and a C+ for the Bears. The Bears went off the board in a big way for Matthew Jones, 65 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.
The whole projection now runs through Bo Nix; hit there and everything else looks smarter. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The Suamataia value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker.
So much rides on Bo Nix that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Bo Nix
In the 17th pick they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
Pick18
Rnd1
Troy Franklin
In pick 18 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
No drama and no debate, Jackson Powers-Johnson went about where he belonged in the 44th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick49
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
A reasonable price with a little left over, Keon Coleman in pick No. 49. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75
Rnd3
Kingsley Suamataia
You do not let an offensive lineman like Kingsley Suamataia reach Round 3, Pick 11 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick77
Rnd3
Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske in No. 77 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick80
Rnd3
Johnny Wilson
They did well to land Johnny Wilson in pick 80, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick111
Rnd4
Darius Robinson
They paid up for Darius Robinson at the 111th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick117
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
They paid a round early for Cole Bishop in Round 4, Pick 17, more than the board wanted. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick123
Rnd4
Max Melton
A quiet steal in pick No. 123: Max Melton for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick143
Rnd5
Dallin Holker
They took Dallin Holker at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick190
Rnd6
Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader in slot 190 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick195
Rnd6
Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at the 195th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick234
Rnd7
Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at No. 234 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A need, and now a little less of one.
