Good, not great, for the Bears: B.

The Bears spent real capital to be 37 picks early on David Walker, and the board is going to hold them to it.

The Nolen pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In slot 10 they get a building block for the line at fair value.
Pick39 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Taking Walter Nolen in pick No. 39 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick41 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland is a better player than No. 41 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick72 Rnd3 David Walker
A real head-scratcher, David Walker in the Round 3 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
