The Bears turned the phones into found money: A-. The Bears spent real capital to be 78 picks early on Jalen Travis, and the board is going to hold them to it. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.
The Watts steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
It is not that Watts is a bad player; it is that the Bears had louder needs to answer first.
Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Nick Emmanwori
In slot 25 they get a rangy last line of defense. More want than need.
Pick39
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
They will replay Tyler Warren at pick 39 for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick54
Rnd2
Kaleb Johnson
Nothing to complain about; Kaleb Johnson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick72
Rnd3
Xavier Watts
A surprising call. With cornerback, linebacker and other spots still to address, they spent the 72nd pick on Xavier Watts, a safety they were not short of.
Pick76
Rnd3
Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte in pick No. 76 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick87
Rnd3
Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick148
Rnd5
Ajani Cornelius
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ajani Cornelius. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick159
Rnd5
Ty Robinson
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ty Robinson. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick171
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick No. 171 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick211
Rnd6
Jalen Travis
They talked themselves into Jalen Travis at pick 211, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick233
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick240
Rnd7
John Williams
They reached a country mile for John Williams at No. 240, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
