FutureB-
The Bears cashed the board's mistake on Knight Jr.: A-. The rest of the league will want that one back. Demetrius Knight Jr. tumbling to the Bears in the Round 7 slot is a gift they did not have to think twice about.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Josh Simmons and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Josh Simmons
In slot 23 they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kenneth Grant in pick 39. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick41
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
They did well to land Tyler Booker in the 41st overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick59
Rnd2
Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte at No. 59 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick64
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
You do not let a safety like Nick Emmanwori reach pick No. 64 and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick66
Rnd3
Grey Zabel
Circle this one: Grey Zabel at Round 3, Pick 2 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick72
Rnd3
Walter Nolen
They robbed the room for Walter Nolen here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick73
Rnd3
Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at the 73rd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick87
Rnd3
Kaleb Johnson
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Kaleb Johnson in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick116
Rnd4
Gunnar Helm
They barely believed it either: Gunnar Helm still on the board at Round 4, Pick 15. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick142
Rnd5
Jared Wilson
The board fumbled Jared Wilson all the way to pick No. 142, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick147
Rnd5
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in slot 147 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick193
Rnd6
Trey Amos
Somehow Trey Amos was still sitting there in the 193rd overall pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick196
Rnd6
Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in pick 196 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick198
Rnd6
Jack Bech
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 198th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick232
Rnd7
Jaylin Noel
Taking Jaylin Noel in No. 232 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick233
Rnd7
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in No. 233 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick240
Rnd7
Cody Simon
Cody Simon at the 240th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
