A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bears a B. Somebody in No. 39 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bears sat still while Mykel Williams, the No. 19 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.
They will need Hamilton to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.
They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made. The skill positions did well by the weekend.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In pick No. 12 they get a centerpiece for the ground game, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39
Rnd2
Mykel Williams
Circle this one: Mykel Williams at pick 39 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick41
Rnd2
Tre Harris
Tre Harris at No. 41 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick72
Rnd3
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in Round 3, Pick 8 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick76
Rnd3
Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams at pick 76 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick148
Rnd5
Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at slot 148 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick149
Rnd5
Mello Dotson
Mello Dotson slipping to the 149th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick233
Rnd7
Ty Hamilton
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ty Hamilton. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick240
Rnd7
Phil Mafah
A quiet steal in the 240th overall pick: Phil Mafah for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
