The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bears and Whittington: A-. Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Bears were there to profit. Jordan Whittington, the No. 188 name on the board, should have been long gone before No. 226. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
The Bears paired the rookies with proven help, Aaron Donald leading the way.
Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 5th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value.
Pick13
Rnd1
Kalen King
By-the-book stuff, Kalen King at pick No. 13 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick38
Rnd2
Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell at pick 38 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick50
Rnd2
Brandon Dorlus
They took Brandon Dorlus at par in the 50th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick69
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
They let Ja'Lynn Polk come to them and pounced at the Round 3 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick70
Rnd3
Chris Braswell
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chris Braswell. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick73
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
They paid sticker price for Zak Zinter in Round 3, Pick 9, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick99
Rnd3
Bucky Irving
No edge and no loss on Bucky Irving in slot 99; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick105
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
They went early on Mohamed Kamara in pick No. 105, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick109
Rnd4
Quinyon Mitchell
The board fumbled Quinyon Mitchell all the way to No. 109, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick114
Rnd4
Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at slot 114 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick132
Rnd4
Connor Colby
A reasonable price with a little left over, Connor Colby in the 132nd pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick142
Rnd5
Ty'Ron Hopper
A straight-up fair deal on Ty'Ron Hopper at the 142nd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick183
Rnd6
Korey Foreman
Korey Foreman at the Round 6 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick191
Rnd6
Chau Smith-Wade
No drama and no debate, Chau Smith-Wade went about where he belonged in pick 191. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick226
Rnd7
Jordan Whittington
They will replay Jordan Whittington at Round 7, Pick 6 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick235
Rnd7
Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry in No. 235 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
