FutureD
The Bears cashed the board's mistake on Wells Jr.: B. You build a draft on nights like this. Antwane Wells Jr. had no business being available in pick No. 257, and the Bears did the only sane thing and turned in the card.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick10
Rnd1
Kelvin Banks Jr.
In pick 10 they get a building block for the line at fair value.
Pick41
Rnd2
Trey Amos
A reach for Trey Amos in Round 2, Pick 9; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick67
Rnd3
Ashton Gillotte
Good price on Ashton Gillotte in the 67th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick149
Rnd5
Anthony Belton
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick165
Rnd5
Jack Nelson
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jack Nelson reach No. 165 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick197
Rnd6
Chase Lundt
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Chase Lundt in the 197th pick, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick198
Rnd6
Jabbar Muhammad
Jabbar Muhammad at slot 198 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick230
Rnd7
RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey at pick No. 230 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick242
Rnd7
John Williams
A straight-up fair deal on John Williams at the 242nd pick, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick257
Rnd7
Antwane Wells Jr.
Taking Antwane Wells Jr. in pick 257 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
