FutureB
The Bears bet the future on Williams. The board says D. Somebody took the Bears to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.
So much rides on Caleb Williams that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.
Reaching for Van Pran left real value on the table behind him. However the rest shakes out, Phillips at that price is a win they earned.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, interior defensive lineman very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Caleb Williams
In pick 1 they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick26
Rnd1
Xavier Legette
In the 26th pick they get a true top target at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick66
Rnd3
Ja'Tavion Sanders
The board had Ja'Tavion Sanders higher than slot 66, and the tight end fell to them anyway. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick75
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at pick No. 75 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick76
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
A reach for Sedrick Van Pran in the Round 3 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick110
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
A reasonable price with a little left over, Matt Goncalves in the 110th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick122
Rnd4
MarShawn Lloyd
A straight-up fair deal on MarShawn Lloyd at No. 122, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick127
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at Round 4, Pick 27 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick140
Rnd5
Cedric Gray
They read the board right and Cedric Gray was the payoff at No. 140. The roster fit checks out.
Pick146
Rnd5
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at slot 146 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick188
Rnd6
Andru Phillips
Taking Andru Phillips in Round 6, Pick 13 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick227
Rnd7
Joshua Cephus
They took Joshua Cephus at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
