FutureB-
The Bears found their guy under center in Williams: D+. You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Bears did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D+.
Caleb Williams is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is McKinstry.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and edge rusher is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Caleb Williams
In slot 1 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value.
Pick9
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a weapon on the perimeter. A real need, handled.
Pick43
Rnd2
Kool-Aid McKinstry
Taking Kool-Aid McKinstry in the 43rd overall pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick110
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
Good price on Dominick Puni in pick 110, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick122
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Khyree Jackson in the 122nd pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick146
Rnd5
Sincere Haynesworth
Sincere Haynesworth at pick No. 146 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
