Higgins should have been long gone. The Bears pounced, and earned a A-. The Bears did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jay Higgins fell into pick No. 240.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Cooper Beebe pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.
Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
It is a haul that will look even better come September.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Mykel Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in slot 39 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick41
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
A tidy bit of business in the 41st pick, where Omarion Hampton graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick72
Rnd3
Cameron Williams
A tidy little value on Cameron Williams in the 72nd overall pick, a step better than break-even. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick148
Rnd5
Mitchell Evans
By-the-book stuff, Mitchell Evans at pick 148 squarely in line with his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick233
Rnd7
Luke Lachey
They will replay Luke Lachey at Round 7, Pick 17 for years; that is how good the value is. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick240
Rnd7
Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in pick No. 240 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
