The Bears fleeced the room on the phones 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. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.
The Simpson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.
In the end it comes back to Olumuyiwa Fashanu, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
Olumuyiwa Fashanu in the 9th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick23
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick 23 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a double-digit-sack hope, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick28
Rnd1
T'Vondre Sweat
In slot 28 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39
Rnd2
Ricky Pearsall
A reach on Ricky Pearsall in the Round 2 slot; the board had better options right there. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick47
Rnd2
Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at No. 47 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick51
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
A big swing on Xavier Legette at the 51st pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick68
Rnd3
Renardo Green
Renardo Green at pick No. 68 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick77
Rnd3
Bucky Irving
A reach for Bucky Irving in pick No. 77; a little patience would have been rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick90
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at the Round 3 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick100
Rnd3
Javon Solomon
They liked Javon Solomon enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 3, Pick 37. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick110
Rnd4
Jaylin Simpson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaylin Simpson well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick121
Rnd4
Michael Pratt
This one needs a full-page explanation: Michael Pratt in slot 121, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick122
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at pick 122 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick137
Rnd5
Mason McCormick
The board had cheaper options than Mason McCormick at No. 137, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick185
Rnd6
Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley at the 185th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick203
Rnd6
Caedan Wallace
A premium they did not need to pay, Caedan Wallace a notch or two before his time. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
