Good, not great, for the Bears: B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Bears spent Round 3, Pick 8 on Rylie Mills, a name the board had a full 61 spots lower.

On value alone, White III makes the weekend a net positive. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In Round 1, Pick 10 they get a blindside protector, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Booker at pick No. 39, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick41 Rnd2 Josaiah Stewart
A reach on Josaiah Stewart in No. 41; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick72 Rnd3 Rylie Mills
They reached into another round for Rylie Mills, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick148 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
Somehow O'Donnell Fortune was still sitting there in the 148th overall pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick233 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
Kyle Monangai in pick 233 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick240 Rnd7 Ricky White III
They will replay Ricky White III at the 240th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
