The Bears worked the phones like thieves and earned a B-. The Nick Nash pick is the one that will follow the Bears into the fall. They took him 68 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Johnson.
Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick10
Rnd1
Will Campbell
Will Campbell in pick 10 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick17
Rnd1
Nick Emmanwori
In No. 17 they get a centerfielder for the defense. Need was not the driver here.
Pick28
Rnd1
Mike Green
By-the-book stuff, Mike Green at the 28th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick55
Rnd2
Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at the 55th pick is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick86
Rnd3
Nick Nash
They reached into another round for Nick Nash, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick99
Rnd3
Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa at slot 99 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
