FutureF
The Bears finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a D-. The Bears did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Azareye'h Thomas fell into Round 7, Pick 37.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Whatever Cam Ward becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.
Pick Analysis
Pick10
Rnd1
Travis Hunter
In pick No. 10 they get a ballhawk on the outside, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick16
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In No. 16 they get a three-down runner at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick30
Rnd1
Cam Ward
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term answer under center, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick31
Rnd1
Matthew Golden
In pick 31 they get a matchup problem out wide, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick39
Rnd2
Armand Membou
They robbed the room for Armand Membou here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick41
Rnd2
Shemar Stewart
Shemar Stewart in Round 2, Pick 9 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick47
Rnd2
Grey Zabel
The board had Grey Zabel higher than pick No. 47, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick57
Rnd2
Walter Nolen
Taking Walter Nolen in No. 57 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick72
Rnd3
Jahdae Barron
You do not let a cornerback like Jahdae Barron reach slot 72 and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick74
Rnd3
Kenneth Grant
They will replay Kenneth Grant at the 74th pick for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick78
Rnd3
Jalon Walker
The board fumbled Jalon Walker all the way to Round 3, Pick 14, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick118
Rnd4
Colston Loveland
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Colston Loveland in pick No. 118, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick132
Rnd4
Wyatt Milum
Somehow Wyatt Milum was still sitting there in slot 132, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick148
Rnd5
T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders at No. 148 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick218
Rnd7
Josaiah Stewart
Josaiah Stewart at pick 218 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick224
Rnd7
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at the 224th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick231
Rnd7
Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick233
Rnd7
Trey Amos
They barely believed it either: Trey Amos still on the board at the 233rd overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick240
Rnd7
Tre Harris
Steal is underselling it; Tre Harris at pick 240 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick242
Rnd7
Alfred Collins
Circle this one: Alfred Collins at the 242nd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick253
Rnd7
Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas in No. 253 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
