FutureB-
The Bears bet the future on Nix. The board says B. They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Bo Nix is the Bears' quarterback, full stop. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
The Smith pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back.
Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Jared Verse
In No. 9 they get juice off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick29
Rnd1
Bo Nix
In the Round 1 slot they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick34
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
They paid sticker price for Jordan Morgan in Round 2, Pick 2, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick36
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
A conviction pick on Cooper Beebe at pick No. 36 that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick50
Rnd2
Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at the 50th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick67
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
No drama and no debate, Ja'Lynn Polk went about where he belonged in the 67th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick68
Rnd3
Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at pick 68 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick75
Rnd3
Maason Smith
Maason Smith at slot 75 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
