The Bears let Gore Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-. Call it larceny. Frank Gore Jr. sat on the board until slot 215, and the Bears did not need to be asked twice. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They will need Foster to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.
The Bishop pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman, linebacker and other spots still on the board. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.
The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.
Pick Analysis
Pick32
Rnd1
Keon Coleman
In the 32nd pick they get a difference-maker at receiver, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39
Rnd2
Bralen Trice
They paid sticker price for Bralen Trice in No. 39, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick63
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
A reach on Cooper Beebe in pick No. 63; the board had better options right there. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick94
Rnd3
Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at slot 94 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick107
Rnd4
Ainias Smith
They jumped the gun on Ainias Smith, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick110
Rnd4
Javon Foster
Javon Foster at the 110th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick115
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Cole Bishop while clear needs at interior defensive lineman, linebacker and other spots sat open.
Pick122
Rnd4
James Williams
They zigged when the board said zag, taking James Williams at safety with interior defensive lineman, linebacker and other spots open.
Pick131
Rnd4
Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon in pick No. 131 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick146
Rnd5
Braelon Allen
The board had cheaper options than Braelon Allen at Round 5, Pick 10, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick215
Rnd6
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at pick 215 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
