tbh DRAFTING FOR THEBears

The Bears cashed the board's mistake on Hood: B+. The Bears did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Colton Hood fell into the Round 7 slot. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.
For all the activity, offensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick36
Rnd2
David Bailey
David Bailey at pick No. 36 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick83
Rnd3
Kayden McDonald
Circle this one: Kayden McDonald at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick87
Rnd3
Mansoor Delane
They robbed the room for Mansoor Delane here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick89
Rnd3
Carnell Tate
Taking Carnell Tate in pick 89 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick90
Rnd3
Cashius Howell
Steal is underselling it; Cashius Howell at the 90th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick117
Rnd4
Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in slot 117 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick119
Rnd4
Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price at Round 4, Pick 19 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick129
Rnd4
Jermod McCoy
They barely believed it either: Jermod McCoy still on the board at No. 129. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick156
Rnd5
Jordyn Tyson
Somehow Jordyn Tyson was still sitting there in the 156th overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick163
Rnd5
Kenyon Sadiq
You do not let a tight end like Kenyon Sadiq reach slot 163 and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick219
Rnd7
Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe at pick No. 219 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick227
Rnd7
Colton Hood
Colton Hood in Round 7, Pick 11 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick239
Rnd7
Lee Hunter
The board fumbled Lee Hunter all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick241
Rnd7
Ja'Kobi Lane
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick 241 is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
