The Bears fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-. The Bears went off the board in a big way for Traeshon Holden, 95 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. The Bears indulged a want in Moore while a need in interior defensive lineman and linebacker stayed open.
They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.
Bottom line, with Jared Verse leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Jared Verse
In the 9th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick21
Rnd1
Kamren Kinchens
In No. 21 they get a centerfielder for the defense. Need was not the driver here.
Pick47
Rnd2
T.J. Tampa
They took T.J. Tampa at par in the 47th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick55
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
A reach on Jackson Powers-Johnson in the Round 2 slot; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick70
Rnd3
Rod Moore
A curious use of slot 70. Interior defensive lineman and linebacker needed the pick; a safety in Rod Moore did not.
Pick75
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
They paid sticker price for Brenden Rice in pick 75, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick110
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at slot 110 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick125
Rnd4
Cade Stover
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went TE-EDGE with Cade Stover while clear needs at interior defensive lineman and linebacker sat open.
Pick140
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
A conviction pick on Joe Milton III at the 140th overall pick that the board grades a round light. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick144
Rnd5
Moose Muhammad III
Moose Muhammad III at the Round 5 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick146
Rnd5
Frank Gore Jr.
A big swing on Frank Gore Jr. at Round 5, Pick 10, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick232
Rnd7
Traeshon Holden
Traeshon Holden at the 232nd pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick244
Rnd7
Evan Williams
No edge and no loss on Evan Williams in pick 244; it is a wash and a sensible one. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
