Nobody dealt better than the Bears this weekend: A-. There is conviction, and then there is this. The Bears took Trajan Jeffcoat a full 51 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. The Jones value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.
With linebacker unsolved, spending premium capital on DT-EDGE is the choice that costs them. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up.
Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
Fair-plus on Olumuyiwa Fashanu, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick30
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36
Rnd2
Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at the Round 2 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick44
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
A reach for Ruke Orhorhoro in slot 44; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick45
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
No edge and no loss on Roman Wilson in pick No. 45; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick66
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in pick 66 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75
Rnd3
Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright in the 75th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick93
Rnd3
Kris Abrams-Draine
They let Kris Abrams-Draine come to them and pounced at slot 93. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick101
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick103
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
They took Cole Bishop at par in No. 103, which is nothing to complain about. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick110
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at Round 4, Pick 10 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick111
Rnd4
Maason Smith
A want over a need in pick 111: Maason Smith adds a DT-EDGE while linebacker keeps waiting.
Pick123
Rnd4
James Williams
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, James Williams adds a safety and leaves linebacker untouched.
Pick124
Rnd4
Jordan Travis
Value said wait; Jordan Travis in pick No. 124 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick131
Rnd4
Christian Jones
No drama and no debate, Christian Jones went about where he belonged in No. 131. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick169
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in the 169th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick188
Rnd6
Jared Wiley
They liked Jared Wiley enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 188. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick222
Rnd7
Elijah Jones
A cornerback of that caliber at the Round 7 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick252
Rnd7
Trajan Jeffcoat
They reached a country mile for Trajan Jeffcoat at the 252nd pick, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
