FutureB
The Bears cashed the board's mistake on Allar: D. The phones were a trap the Bears kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. Put together, it is a D.
They will need Hemby to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Allar at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.
The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.
Pick Analysis
Pick38
Rnd2
CJ Allen
A tidy little value on CJ Allen in pick 38, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick40
Rnd2
Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at slot 40 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick49
Rnd2
Zion Young
A clean, defensible pick in the 49th overall pick with a little surplus value in Zion Young. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick57
Rnd2
Lee Hunter
A conviction pick on Lee Hunter at Round 2, Pick 25 that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick59
Rnd2
Max Klare
A reasonable price with a little left over, Max Klare in the 59th pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick74
Rnd3
Kamari Ramsey
Kamari Ramsey at pick No. 74 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick80
Rnd3
LT Overton
LT Overton in pick 80 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick87
Rnd3
Jake Golday
Nice patience on Jake Golday, who had no business lasting to No. 87. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick89
Rnd3
Domonique Orange
Circle this one: Domonique Orange at the 89th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick103
Rnd4
Deion Burks
They paid sticker price for Deion Burks in slot 103, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick109
Rnd4
Jude Bowry
Jude Bowry at the 109th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick115
Rnd4
Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis in pick No. 115 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick128
Rnd4
Max Iheanachor
They went early on Max Iheanachor in the Round 4 slot, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick163
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
A cornerback of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 25 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick165
Rnd5
Drew Allar
Drew Allar at the 165th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick175
Rnd5
Brenen Thompson
The board fumbled Brenen Thompson all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick239
Rnd7
Trey Holly
Trey Holly in Round 7, Pick 23 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick241
Rnd7
Roman Hemby
Roman Hemby at pick 241 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick252
Rnd7
Jordan Hall
Good price on Jordan Hall in the 252nd overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
