FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Bears this weekend: B. Nobody had Charles Grant this high, and it is not close. The Bears reached 55 spots to get him at pick 36. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
The Winston Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.
They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Mason Graham
In pick No. 14 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36
Rnd2
Charles Grant
Charles Grant at slot 36 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick41
Rnd2
Dylan Fairchild
A big swing on Dylan Fairchild at the Round 2 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick45
Rnd2
Tyleik Williams
They went early on Tyleik Williams in pick 45, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick73
Rnd3
Darien Porter
They paid sticker price for Darien Porter in Round 3, Pick 9, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick146
Rnd5
Kevin Winston Jr.
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Kevin Winston Jr. in the 146th overall pick, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick203
Rnd6
Clay Webb
Clay Webb at pick 203 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick228
Rnd7
Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith in slot 228 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick244
Rnd7
Jared Wilson
The board fumbled Jared Wilson all the way to Round 7, Pick 30, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
