The Bears worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+. If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Bears, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.
The cost of the Fairchild reach is exactly the players who went right after him. With edge rusher, cornerback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.
The Felton steal is the beam this whole class leans on.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Derrick Harmon
In the 30th pick they get an anchor for the defensive front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
Nice patience on Omarion Hampton, who had no business lasting to pick No. 39. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick41
Rnd2
Colston Loveland
They let Colston Loveland come to them and pounced at pick 41. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick51
Rnd2
Donovan Jackson
They paid a round early for Donovan Jackson in the 51st overall pick, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
Pick56
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
A slide stopped in slot 56, with Xavier Watts worth more than the price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick72
Rnd3
Shemar Turner
They liked Shemar Turner enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 3, Pick 8. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick76
Rnd3
Dylan Fairchild
A real head-scratcher, Dylan Fairchild in No. 76 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick80
Rnd3
Kevin Winston Jr.
A curious use of the Round 3 slot. Edge rusher, cornerback and other spots needed the pick; a safety in Kevin Winston Jr. did not.
Pick117
Rnd4
Tai Felton
Tai Felton at the 117th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick148
Rnd5
Ben Sauls
They went early on Ben Sauls in No. 148, and the value did not follow. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick149
Rnd5
Logan Brown
Logan Brown in slot 149 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick171
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
The board had cheaper options than Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick No. 171, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
