FutureB
The Bears won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B. When the story of this class is written, it opens with Thor Griffith at No. 240, a reach of 78 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Emmanwori. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
In the Round 1 slot they get a security blanket over the middle at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick39
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
A safety of that caliber at pick No. 39 is the definition of value, full stop. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick45
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku in the 45th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick49
Rnd2
Donovan Jackson
They paid up for Donovan Jackson at Round 2, Pick 17 when waiting would have done the job. The roster fit checks out.
Pick72
Rnd3
Darien Porter
Darien Porter at No. 72 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick119
Rnd4
Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at pick 119 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick148
Rnd5
Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at No. 148 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick232
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
A premium they did not need to pay, Isaac TeSlaa a notch or two before his time. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick233
Rnd7
Desmond Watson
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Desmond Watson. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick240
Rnd7
Thor Griffith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Thor Griffith. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
