The Bears worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-. Whoever sat across the table from the Bears should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend.
They are betting Van Pran proves the room right and everyone else wrong. With edge rusher, running back and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.
Pick Analysis
Pick10
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In slot 10 they get a home-run threat at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick18
Rnd1
Jer'Zhan Newton
In the 18th overall pick they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37
Rnd2
Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell slid further than he should have, and pick No. 37 is lovely value for the wide receiver. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick38
Rnd2
Nate Wiggins
Nate Wiggins in Round 2, Pick 6 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick43
Rnd2
Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at No. 43 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick47
Rnd2
Calen Bullock
No edge and no loss on Calen Bullock in pick 47; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick58
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at the Round 2 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick69
Rnd3
Cooper DeJean
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cooper DeJean at the 69th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick70
Rnd3
Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at No. 70 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick74
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 3 slot with a little surplus value in Ja'Lynn Polk. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick110
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
A reach on Cedric Gray in pick No. 110; the board had better options right there. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126
Rnd4
Tykee Smith
A want over a need in slot 126: Tykee Smith adds a safety while edge rusher, running back and other spots keeps waiting.
