The Bears robbed the room for Simpson. Final grade: A-. Thirty-one other rooms let Jaylin Simpson slide, and the Bears were the ones holding the card at the 209th overall pick. Highway robbery. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.
The cost of the Keegan reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The phones were where this weekend was really won.
For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Williams pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback still on the board.
It is a haul that will look even better come September.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Xavier Legette
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a No. 1 receiver, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick26
Rnd1
Jared Verse
A slide stopped in slot 26, with Jared Verse worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick27
Rnd1
Tyler Nubin
In the 27th pick they get a ballhawk on the back end. Need was not the driver here.
Pick43
Rnd2
Brian Thomas Jr.
The board had Brian Thomas Jr. higher than No. 43, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick56
Rnd2
Dallas Turner
The board fumbled Dallas Turner all the way to pick No. 56, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick72
Rnd3
Johnny Wilson
They paid sticker price for Johnny Wilson in the 72nd overall pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at the Round 3 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick109
Rnd4
Audric Estime
Audric Estime slipping to pick 109 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick110
Rnd4
Leonard Taylor III
No edge and no loss on Leonard Taylor III in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick114
Rnd4
James Williams
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. James Williams in the 114th pick leaves quarterback for later.
Pick125
Rnd4
Cam Hart
They paid up for Cam Hart at slot 125 when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick131
Rnd4
Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith is a better player than pick 131 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick146
Rnd5
Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at Round 5, Pick 10 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick157
Rnd5
Tyrice Knight
A linebacker of that caliber at the 157th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick158
Rnd5
LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson in pick No. 158 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick186
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at No. 186 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick190
Rnd6
AJ Barner
By-the-book stuff, AJ Barner at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick201
Rnd6
Trevor Keegan
A real head-scratcher, Trevor Keegan in No. 201 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick209
Rnd6
Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in pick No. 209 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick234
Rnd7
Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson at slot 234 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick244
Rnd7
Ja'Had Carter
They paid a round early for Ja'Had Carter in the 244th pick, more than the board wanted. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick252
Rnd7
Kenny Logan Jr.
Taking Kenny Logan Jr. in pick 252 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
