FutureB-
The Bears fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B. Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Bears spent the 109th pick on Jared Wilson, a name the board had a full 96 spots lower. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.
That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.
A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The Bears clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick10
Rnd1
Will Johnson
Will Johnson at pick No. 10 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick42
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Kenneth Grant in the Round 2 slot, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick64
Rnd2
Donovan Jackson
A real head-scratcher, Donovan Jackson in Round 2, Pick 32 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick97
Rnd3
Trey Zuhn III
A wild overpay on Trey Zuhn III in slot 97, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick109
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
They reached a country mile for Jared Wilson at No. 109, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick111
Rnd4
Tai Felton
Tai Felton in pick 111 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick134
Rnd4
Miles Frazier
They reached into another round for Miles Frazier, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick137
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
You do not let a safety like Kevin Winston Jr. reach the 137th overall pick and blink. They did not. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick147
Rnd5
Davison Igbinosun
A big swing on Davison Igbinosun at No. 147, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick153
Rnd5
Sam Brown
Sam Brown in pick No. 153 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick159
Rnd5
Lander Barton
Lander Barton in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick193
Rnd6
Nick Martin
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nick Martin this early at the 193rd pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick224
Rnd7
Terrance Ferguson
They read the board right and Terrance Ferguson was the payoff at slot 224. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick226
Rnd7
Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at pick 226 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick227
Rnd7
Le'Veon Moss
Somehow Le'Veon Moss was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 11, and they pounced on premier running back value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick230
Rnd7
Phil Mafah
Taking Phil Mafah in the 230th pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick233
Rnd7
Donovan Edwards
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Donovan Edwards at No. 233. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick236
Rnd7
Cody Lindenberg
Steal is underselling it; Cody Lindenberg at the Round 7 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick240
Rnd7
Bryson Nesbit
By-the-book stuff, Bryson Nesbit at slot 240 squarely in line with his ranking. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick247
Rnd7
Jay Toia
They talked themselves into Jay Toia at pick 247, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick249
Rnd7
Garrett Dellinger
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Garrett Dellinger. The roster fit checks out.
