The Bears turned the phones into found money: A-. The Bears did not so much draft Xavier Thomas as overpay for him, 40 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Rattler pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.
The Bears clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.
Pick Analysis
Pick41
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
A tidy little value on Jordan Morgan in the 41st overall pick, a step better than break-even. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick94
Rnd3
Caelen Carson
They took Caelen Carson at par in pick No. 94, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick119
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at Round 4, Pick 19 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick122
Rnd4
Xavier Thomas
They reached into another round for Xavier Thomas, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick124
Rnd4
Javon Foster
Javon Foster in the Round 4 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick128
Rnd4
Spencer Rattler
Spencer Rattler in slot 128 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick144
Rnd5
Hunter Nourzad
Hunter Nourzad in Round 5, Pick 8 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick158
Rnd5
Layden Robinson
A wild overpay on Layden Robinson in No. 158, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick160
Rnd5
Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at pick 160 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick163
Rnd5
Jordan Jefferson
They reached a country mile for Jordan Jefferson at the Round 5 slot, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick178
Rnd6
Myles Cole
Value said wait; Myles Cole in the 178th pick says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick189
Rnd6
Jaylen Harrell
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaylen Harrell this early at the 189th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick195
Rnd6
Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace in pick No. 195 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick198
Rnd6
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Fair-plus on Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick241
Rnd7
Tayvion Robinson
They read the board right and Tayvion Robinson was the payoff at Round 7, Pick 21. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick252
Rnd7
LaDarius Henderson
By-the-book stuff, LaDarius Henderson at pick 252 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
