FutureD-
Banks should have been long gone. The Bears pounced, and earned a B. Whoever sat across the table from the Bears should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend.
They banked enough surplus on Banks to cover a lot of smaller sins. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
They let Arvell Reese come to them and pounced at the Round 1 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick57
Rnd2
Caleb Banks
You do not let an edge rusher like Caleb Banks reach pick 57 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick129
Rnd4
Tacario Davis
A quiet steal in the 129th overall pick: Tacario Davis for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick164
Rnd5
DJ Campbell
They paid sticker price for DJ Campbell in No. 164, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick239
Rnd7
Rico Flores Jr.
Rico Flores Jr. in slot 239 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick241
Rnd7
Jalen Catalon
Jalen Catalon in Round 7, Pick 25 is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
