More right than wrong for the Bears, and a B to prove it.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Bears took Joe Milton III a full 42 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a true top target at fair value.
Pick9 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the Round 1 slot they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In No. 27 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at the 35th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick66 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
No drama and no debate, Javon Bullard went about where he belonged in slot 66. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick71 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
No edge and no loss on Ricky Pearsall in pick 71; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75 Rnd3 DJ James
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for DJ James. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick110 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at pick No. 110 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick122 Rnd4 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at slot 122 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick132 Rnd4 Austin Booker
Austin Booker at Round 4, Pick 32 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick146 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in the 146th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
