FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Bears a A-. The tape said wait; the Bears did not. Jaden Shirden went at pick 232, a good 47 picks before the board was ready. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. The Bears indulged a want in Smith while a need in interior defensive lineman stayed open.
For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In slot 27 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52
Rnd2
Zach Frazier
A reach for Zach Frazier in No. 52; a little patience would have been rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick56
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick60
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
A tidy little value on Xavier Worthy in pick No. 60, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick71
Rnd3
Xavier Legette
No drama and no debate, Xavier Legette went about where he belonged in the 71st pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
They read the board right and Kiran Amegadjie was the payoff at Round 3, Pick 11. The roster fit checks out.
Pick83
Rnd3
Cade Stover
They took Cade Stover at par in Round 3, Pick 19, which is nothing to complain about. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick99
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy slipping to pick No. 99 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick105
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at No. 105 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick111
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
No edge and no loss on Cole Bishop in the 111th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick116
Rnd4
Maason Smith
A surprising call. With interior defensive lineman still to address, they spent pick 116 on Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE they were not short of.
Pick119
Rnd4
Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips in the 119th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick123
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
By-the-book stuff, Cedric Gray at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick128
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Johnny Wilson at slot 128, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick137
Rnd5
Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at the Round 5 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick148
Rnd5
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at slot 148 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick166
Rnd5
Jaheim Bell
A clean, defensible pick in Round 5, Pick 30 with a little surplus value in Jaheim Bell. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick169
Rnd5
Sione Vaki
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Sione Vaki. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick173
Rnd5
Brandon Coleman
They paid sticker price for Brandon Coleman in pick No. 173, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick188
Rnd6
Joe Milton III
The board had cheaper options than Joe Milton III at pick 188, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick204
Rnd6
Cedric Johnson
Cedric Johnson at the 204th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick232
Rnd7
Jaden Shirden
Jaden Shirden in the 232nd overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick233
Rnd7
Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace in the 233rd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick236
Rnd7
Evan Williams
A conviction pick on Evan Williams at No. 236 that the board grades a round light. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick245
Rnd7
Trey Knox
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Trey Knox at Round 7, Pick 25. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick246
Rnd7
Jalen Coker
Jalen Coker at pick 246 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick250
Rnd7
Jordan Magee
Fair-plus on Jordan Magee, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick251
Rnd7
Bub Means
A reach on Bub Means in pick No. 251; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
